Hamas urges collaborators to hand themselves in

Hamas has put out a threat to "collaborators" with Israel - Hand yourself in.

GAZA CITY (Ma'an) -- The Hamas-run Interior Ministry in Gaza has a list of collaborators who will be detained if they do not turn themselves in, a security official said Tuesday. 

"Collaborators must contact dignitaries to help them turn themselves over to security services," said Muhammad Lafi, of the Internal Security Service. 

Informers who give themselves up by April 11 will not be detained or sent to interrogation centers, Lafi told reporters in Gaza City.
No, they will be killed.

The Ministry of Interior and the Social Affairs Ministry will allocate a monthly salary to the families of collaborators who surrender, he added. 
Yes, to make up for their family being killed

"This campaign against collaborators isn't purely a security campaign, as it also has a social element. We do not discriminate between them according to their political affiliation, and we will provide them with information to make sure they can make right their mistakes and thus protect resistance fighters," Lafi said. 

Interior Ministry spokesman Islam Shahwan said the campaign aimed to "reinforce society" against Israeli enlistment efforts.
Not "security", but "society".  People are classified "collaborators" if they do anything that insults the fundamentalist regime.

Get ready for more killings and torture by Hamas of their own people.

7 Countries which execute Atheists

Washington Post has an article - 7 countries where being an Atheist can get you executed by the State.

The 7 Countries are:
  • Saudi Arabia
  • Iran
  • Pakistan
  • Afghanistan
  • Sudan
  • Mauritania
  • The Maldives
If Palestine is an Observer state, I would suggest it should also be listed.

Note also countries where you can be imprisoned:
  • Egypt
  • Malaysia
  • Indonesia
This doesn't list countries which execute you for changing religion.  For example, it is punishable by death in many Islamic countries if a Muslim person decides to convert to another religion, such as Christianity.

The United Nations special rapporteur on freedom of religion or belief Heiner Bielefeldt accepted the report, according to Reuters, noting that there is little global awareness that atheism is protected by international human rights law.
Correct.  No mention at the UNHCR, as they are too busy defending the nations listed to attack Israel.
