This Egyptian ex-Muslim girl has been imprisoned by her parents and is being force fed psychotic drugs.

Please share the facebook page widely to help spread the cause. The more these brutes try to oppress ex-Muslims, the more the world we see them for what they really are.

Yes, it appears the only way to deal with all these apostacy persecution stories is to highlight infront of the rest of the world and force the hands of countries or people who try to oppress/punish apostates at an international level. The recent Sudanese case serves as an example of this.
With all these new cases coming to light I can't help but wonder are we witnessing the begining of a silent revolution, perhaps we can all help Mariam and Mubarak http://godlessmom.com/ by pressurisng our governments with petitions and other activites designed to highlight the apostate's plight?

I agree Tomas. I think the framing of the issue in terms first of apostates in far-flung lands means that people can react to it more as they may react to it more in the way that people do to foreign aid. When things are on peoples doorsteps I think they become a bit less confident in tackling it as they fear any repercussions on them. If you can highlight the violent situation of these people then the most of the time less violent situation of apostates in western countries is more easily dealt with.

Perhaps I am wrong.

It starts by ex-muslims finding a voice in secular countries, it's greatly helped by a handful of liberal muslims who openly agree that persecuting apostates is not exceptable. When some (esp high profile) muslims bravely agree that it's not acceptable either, this makes it less toxic for our (secular countries) governments to handle (so by opposing apostacy persecution they're no longer being seen to be discriminating against the beliefs of all muslims) which in turn leads to removing the taboo. After that happens weight can then be leaned on countries who are abusing apostates to dissauade them from doing so. As far as I can see this is already beginning to happen. Who knows by the 22nd century CEMB may even be obsolete.
