To give you an example how dangerous is apostacy in a muslim country a remarkable story comes to my mind. Rev. Dr.Mark Gabriel (his christian name) was a Phd from AlAzhar, the top islamic Univ, a hafiz , an imam and a teacher at Al Azhar. One day he decided to leave islam. Al Azhar reported him to police . When his father found his views he decided to kill him himself. However with the help of his older sister Mark managed to escape and hide. Eventually he ran away from Egypt and reached USA. He converted to christianity, is a preacher now and has written several books exposing islam.( I read his story on faithfreedom.org)
