Ex-Muslim convert in Egypt goes into hiding

From HERE:

• An Egyptian convert to Christianity has gone into hiding following calls for his execution. Mohammed Hegazy, the first Muslim-background believer to seek to have his religion changed on his national ID card, has been threatened by clerics and, he claims, tortured by police. Though conversion is legal according to Egyptian law, many Muslims uphold an Islamic law that proscribes death for apostates.

America and Europe need to pass laws requiring that the teaching of this doctrine be banned from all mosques. And if the Iman's do not comply then they lose thier tax-free status, or worse, be put under FBI observation.

All people must be free to convert or leave any religion, without fearing for thier lives.
