[edit] Iranian founder of German ex-Muslim organisation living under police protection following death threats to her and other members
The founder of a group in Germany for former Muslims has sought police protection after receiving death threats.
Mina Ahadi, a native of Iran living in Cologne, said about three dozen people have joined the Central Council of Ex-Muslims.
"I happened to be born in a Muslim family, and I have decided not to be a Muslim," she told the magazine Focus.
Ahadi said she and other members of the group have been "terrorized" and have received death threats, most of them sent via e-mail.Founder of ex-Muslim group threatened

Even in Europe, the departure from the belief among Muslims, a taboo. It takes place behind closed doors if necessary - and woe to him who does not respect this rule. This has just learned to live in exile in Germany and Iranian human rights activist Mina Ahadi. She has worked with about forty other former Muslims, the Central Council of Ex-Muslims created to warn of the problem carefully. Now she lives under police protection.

A week ago, then the police turned to Ahadi. It was declared a personal protection - such as the Green Party politician Ekin Deligöz, who had recently asked Muslim women in Germany to drop the headscarf and thus drawn the ire of the Islamists themselves.
