Signs of the Times - More than twenty-two Christians have been seized by the government of Egypt and brutalized in attempt to make them convert back to Islam.
Julie Stahl, the CNSNews.com Jerusalem Bureau Chief, reports Egyptians that have converted to Christianity are under extreme pressure by the Islamic government in Egypt to denounce Christ and return to their Muslim religion.
Stahl writes:
"While it is not technically illegal for Muslims to convert to Christianity in Egypt, converts are often sought out and arrested on other charges in an attempt to force them to return to Islam, said Paul Cook, advocacy manager of the Barnabas Fund, which helps Christians in countries where they are a minority, and particularly, where they are persecuted.
"According to the British-based charity, a new wave of arrests began on October 21 with the arrests of two converts: Yusuf Samuel Makari Suliman and his wife, Mariam Girgis Makar, two former Muslims.
"'The Christians have been taken from Alexandria to police stations in Cairo and are being beaten, interrogated and tortured," the Barnabas Fund said in a statement.
...The group has also received information that Mariam and other women may have been raped in an attempt to persuade them to renounce their Christian faith and return to Islam, said Cook in a telephone interview."
The police are holding them under the guise that they falsified records. Among other things, it is illegal in Egypt to change a Muslim name to a non-Muslim name which is something many Christian converts wish to do. So many apply for a passport with a Christian name and that is what the government of Egypt is using as a falsified records charge in order to punish people for their leaving the Muslim religion.
Read the full article, it's worth your time. It sheds some light on how extreme Islamic religion is working its way through predominately Muslim countries and at what cost.
