BTW, "bullet to the head"? Where have you been doing your research?
I think the real question is, how long have you been hiding your head in the sand? Remember the aid workers who were rescued from the Taliban shortly after the war in Afghanistan started? The reason for their arrest? They were accused of "promoting Christianity." Here is an excerpt from Reuters shortly after their rescue:

FREED AID WORKERS RECALL ORDEAL
HARROWING ESCAPE: The eight international aid workers arrested by the Taliban three months ago were plucked from a field in the dead of night by US helicopters and spirited away to Pakistan

They endured three months in captivity, a hasty evacuation from Kabul with fleeing Taliban forces, a freezing night locked in a metal container and a harrowing morning in jail under deafening artillery bombardment.
But the eight aid workers detained by the fundamentalist Taliban on charges of promoting Christianity finally reached safety yesterday, plucked from a field in Afghanistan in the dead of night by US helicopters and spirited out to Pakistan.
"It was like a miracle," German detainee Georg Taubmann told reporters on arrival at his country's embassy in Islamabad.
Taubmann was detained by the Taliban in early August along with seven fellow workers from Shelter Now International -- Australians Peter Bunch and Diana Thomas, Americans Dayna Curry and Heather Mercer, and Germans Katrin Jelinek, Margrit Stebner and Silke Durrkopf. The charges carried the death penalty. [emphasis mine]

Check the laws on the books in several of the nations which are Islamic states and you will find the same laws. Generally, US and other foreign workers are thrown in jail for a while then deported, but the families that live in those nations are dealt with in much more of a permanent fashion, if you know what I mean.
Thanks.
