Apostasy is the decision to renounce a faith or convert to another religion. The figures for people who say they have no religion has doubled since 2001. A lot of urban Muslims, half of them who were born in the UK believe that leaving Islam is a sin and can even be punishable by death Ayisha (not her real name) from Lancashire was just 14 when she began to question Islam after reading the Koran. She started rebelling over wearing the hijab, but eventually decided she wasn't a Muslim and the situation at home rapidly got worse her father holding her knife to her neck and saying that 'we might as well do it if you're going to bring this much shame to the family' she would get abused physically and eventually called child services where her father was convicted of child cruelty and now stays in the guardianship of her boyfriends father.
In my opinion I think that in religions like Islam tradition and honor is very sacred and should be kept in tact, however I do not believe that it is right for a person to be punished or threatened simply for having different views.
