From the BBC:
Mohammed Shafiq is from The Ramadhan Foundation, an organisation which represents Muslims in Britain.
He says: "In the end, if you make that choice to leave Islam you're making a conscious choice to move away from your family as well and move away from the wider community."
Yes, that would appear to be true so far...
"This applies equally to all the other faiths."
Nope, nope and thrice nope.
