Iraqi Woman Activist Tortured and Killed by the Islamic State for "apostasy"
Iraqi Woman Activist Killed by Islamic State - ABC News
"Militants with the Islamic State group tortured and then publicly killed a human rights lawyer in the Iraqi city of Mosul after their self-proclaimed religious court ruled that she had abandoned Islam, the U.N. mission in Iraq said Thursday.
Gunmen with the group's newly declared police force seized Samira Salih al-Nuaimi last week in a northeastern district of the Mosul while she was home with her husband and three children, two people with direct knowledge of the incident told The Associated Press on Thursday. Al-Nuaimi was taken to a secret location. After about five days, the family was called by the morgue to retrieve her corpse, which bore signs of torture, the two people said, speaking on condition of anonymity because of fears for their safety.
According to the United Nations Assistance Mission in Iraq, her arrest was allegedly connected to Facebook messages she posted that were critical of the militants' destruction of religious sites in Mosul. A statement by the U.N. on Thursday added that al-Nuaimi was tried in a so-called "Sharia court" for apostasy, after which she was tortured for five days before the militants sentenced her to "public execution." Her Facebook page appears to have been removed since her death."

This is news? What's the big deal, particularly to orthodox Muslims? The article seems to want to paint a picture of the death penalty for apostasy as being limited to the Islamic State, or to some fringe "radical" whackjob element, rather than recognize the fact that many Islamic nation states provide for the death penalty for "apostasy" by statute. I guess it's just that when Christians are sentenced to death for apostasy it isn't very newsworthy, and particularly when it is a Muslim that has broken free the chains of their slavery to Muhammad, by having come to know the love of the one true God and freedom we find in the Son of God:
Jhn 8:36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
DEATH PENALTY FOR APOSTASY
Muhammad's enslaved followers are jealous of free people everywhere, since Islam is the very antithesis of freedom, liberty, and the right to self-determination. From a Wikipedia article on the punishment for "apostasy", that is, the prescribed sentence in Islamic countries for when a Muslim leaves their religion of Islam:
Iran – illegal (death penalty)[13][14][15]
Egypt – illegal (3 years' imprisonment)[15]
Pakistan – illegal (death penalty[15] since 2007)
United Arab Emirates – illegal (3 years' imprisonment, flogging)[16]
Somalia – illegal (death penalty)[17]
Afghanistan – illegal (death penalty, although the U.S. and other coalition members have put pressure that has prevented recent executions)[18][19]
Saudi Arabia – illegal (death penalty, although there have been no recently reported executions)[15][20]
Sudan – illegal (death penalty, although there have only been recent reports of torture, and not of execution)[21][22]
Qatar – illegal (death penalty)[23]
Yemen – illegal (death penalty)[23]
Malaysia – illegal in five of 13 states (fine, imprisonment, and flogging)[24][25]
Maldives - see article
Mauritania – illegal (death penalty if still apostate after 3 days)[26]
Jordan – possibly illegal (fine, jail, child custody loss, marriage annulment) although officials claim otherwise, convictions are recorded for apostasy[28][29][30]
Oman – legal in criminal code, but according to the family code, a father can lose custody of his child[31]
