Counter-Jihad by Court: A Historical Victory
by Valentina Colombo https://www.legal-project.org/415/counter-jihad-by-court-a-historical-victory Excerpt: There is a historical judgement: This is the first time a European court recognizes that accusing a person of being an apostate, in radical Islamists' code, is the equivalent of a condemnation to death.
