Persecutions of Muslim converts to Christianity continue
The Egyptian Constitution and law guarantee equality of rights and duties for both Muslims and Christians. Yet in reality, Egypt recognizes the conversion of Christians to Islam but does not so for Muslim converts to Christianity.
A Christian who has become a Muslim can obtain a new I.D. card in less than 24 hours, documenting his new Islamic names. This procedure, on the other hand, is impossible for Christians who are former Muslims. For the Egyptian state registry office, they remain Muslims forever.
Such religious discrimination creates huge problems, particularly for Muslim women converts to Christianity before getting married to Christian men. Egyptian law, inspired by the Shariah (Koranic law), banns mixed marriages between a Muslim woman and a Christian man.
According to the Shariah, a Christian man must first convert to Islam before marrying a Muslim woman. To do otherwise is punishable by death. Children of mixed marriages are Muslim by law.
And Muslims have the nerve to say France has become institutionally RACIST!
