Ronaldo is one of the most recognisable athletes in the world. He has a lifetime endorsement deal with Nike, which is set to exceed $1 Billion.

Apostasy, or leaving the faith, is a very controversial issue in the Muslim world and experts say the majority of scholars believe it is punishable by death.
