Fatima al-Mutayri – modern Christian martyr

(I first learned about her in Yancey’s What Good is God? (p. 191)

In August of 2008 a young lady named Fatima al-Mutayri, age 26, was martyred in Saudi Arabia. She became a Christian there by means of internet and satellite TV ministries, and was martyred there ¢â‚¬”she had her tongue cut out and was burned to death by her brother  who was carrying out the command of the Prophet who said,  ¢â‚¬Å“who changes his religion, kill him ¢â‚¬  (man badala diinahu faqataluuhu).
