This story shows how people can take blasphemy against a Islam very seriously. I do not think that it is fair that Mubarak Bala is getting death threats. Even though what he did, in changing hsi religious beliefs might be punishable by death in Nigeria, I don't think any person should be killed for their views on religion. I think his family sent him to a Psychiatric Hospital because they thought that he might have been mentally scarred - they might have wanted to protect him or that they wanted him to learn a lesson and convert back to Islam.
