freedom of religion

This message is to let the public know that the current state of Muslim converts to Christianity in Egypt is negative. Sharia law has consistently been upheld as the reason for why converts are not allowed to have their religious identity officially changed. Furthermore, the lives of Christians are in serious danger as Islamic fundamentalists often times seek to kill these converts. There is a case of one family who are currently in hiding and cannot leave Egypt because they don't have the proper passports. In order to obtain proper passports they would have to return to their hometown and leaving the house would immediately result in their deaths. They have have to move more than 4 times in the last year. The father of the husband is cooperating with authorities to arrest and kill the convert and obtain his grandchild that she may be raised as a Muslim. Along with that, many attempts have been made on the life of this convert and his wife and baby daughter. This Egyptian Christian receives no help from the Coptic Church as the church refuses to get involved for fear of persecution from fundamentist Islamists. This convert also testifies that this is the plight of many Muslim converts to Christianity within Egypt. I leave this post to shed light on an unfortunate reality that is very common for many people throughout not only Egypt but many other parts of the world. Awareness is needed. Thank you.
