Some news outlet in South Africa has covered the campaign:
Ex Muslims tweet #AnApostatesExperienceEx Muslims are sharing their experiences with apostacy under the hashtag #AnApostatesExperience.
An apostate is someone who leaves a religion, sometimes converting to another or becoming an atheist.
The hashtag appears to have come about as a response to Islamic apologist Resa Aslan's claim that the most venomous threats he receives are from atheists.
The response has been overwhelming, with people talking about issues ranging from abuse, to not being allowed to partake in the funerals of their loved ones, to even being told they should be sold into prostitution.
The following is just a sample of what people have tweeted thus far:
