Somalia: Misunderstanders of Islam publicly flog convert from Islam to Christianity
Muslim spokesmen such as Salam al-Marayati, M. Cherif Bassiouni, and Ali Eteraz, all of whom (among many others) assure us that Islam has no death penalty for apostasy, despite Muhammad's words, "Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him" (Bukhari 9.84.57). Somehow these Somali Muslims have misunderstood Islam in the same way Muhammad did. But they didn't kill her, so apparently they're moderates.
"Somali Convert from Islam Whipped in Public," from Compass Direct News, January 10 (thanks to Pamela Geller):

She received 40 lashes on Dec. 22 while jeered by spectators.
“Osman was whipped 40 lashes at 3 p.m., but she didn’t tell what other humiliations she had suffered while in the hands of the militants,” an eyewitness, told Compass, adding that whipping left her bleeding. “I saw her faint. I thought she had died, but soon she regained consciousness and her family took her away.”
The whipping was administered in front of hundreds of spectators after Osman was released from her month-long custody in al Shabaab camps. Nursing her injuries at her family’s home, in the days after the punishment she would not talk to anyone and looked dazed, a source close in touch with the family said. She has since been relocated.
“Please pray for her quick recovery,” the source said.
Janale, one Somalia’s major cities, is about 200 kilometers (124 miles) from Mogadishu.
Osman became a Christian four years ago and was a member of the underground church in the war-torn Horn of Africa country largely controlled by the al Qaeda-linked militants from al Shabaab....
