Why Islam today shuts down freedom of religion Apostasy in the Quran, Traditions, and Islamic Law James M. Arlandson In 2006 in Pakistan, Christians have been arrested for converting from Islam to Christianity. In 2006 in Afghanistan, Abdul Rahman was being prosecuted for converting from Islam to Christianity, a "crime" that carries the death penalty. After massive protests from governments around the world, the trial was terminated and Abdul Rahman was able to leave the country. More on the background of this case can also be found here. As East and West meet through the worldwide web, we will hear more of such stories, even of Christian martyrs. Apostates are those who leave a religion, in this case Islam, whether they become atheists or converts to another religion.
