What people say?

I’m a great admirer of the Ex-Muslims of North America organization. They actually do stuff rather than just talking, and they’re courageous to do it in public knowing that an apostate Muslim is, to many active Muslims, deserving of death. To be a public ex-Muslim these days is to evince bravery.
