A mother and her seven children have been jailed for 15 years for converting back to Christianity from Islam in Egypt. Nadia Mohamed Ali was raised a Christian but converted to Islam 23 years ago when she married Mohamed Abdel-Wahhab Mustafa. Following his death, she planned to convert back to her original faith, along with the rest of her family. But a criminal court in Beni Suef, in central Egypt, sentenced them to jail for 15 years last week, according to reports.

Seven other people, who were involved in the case, were also sentenced to five years in jail. Human rights advocates have now warned the sentence is a sign of things to come in Egypt under the Islamist government, according to Fox News.The conversion came to light after the family attempted to get new identity cards in 2004.

According to Sky News, one of her children was arrested two years later and confessed the documents had been changed illegally when police noticed he had changed his name and became suspicious.
Nadia, her children and the clerks who processed the identity cards were subsequently arrested and charged.

Christians in the country have said they face difficulties if they have converted to Islam and wish to switch back, leading some to forge the documents, which could land them in jail.
Samuel Tadros, a research fellow at Hudson Institute's Center for Religious Freedom, has said while similar conversions had been common, the new Sharia-based constitution in Egypt was 'a real disaster' for religious freedom, according to Fox News.He said: 'The cases will increase in the future.

'It will be much harder for people to return to Christianity.' The constitution was pushed through last year by President Mohamed Morsi, who succeeded Hosni Mubarak following an election last June. Secular and liberal groups, as well as Coptic Christians, opposed the constitution and protested against it at the time it was passed.

And that was what the uprising was about

Ironically, these crazy fanatics depend on infidels for handouts (Aid).

am nt suprised because xtianity has alway been synonimous with d west and their propaganda

..and someone will come here later to say ‘Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world‘ , why won‘t it be when a muslim can‘t convert to any other religion without facing persecution?!

They will not understand that force conversion will not increase islam but will rather breed more hatred

At least, the West are far better they fight against terrorist.

Mee234: They will not understand that force conversion will not increase islam but will rather breed more hatred

Their main aim is to creat hatred. Sure they understand very well. Their reward is great if they die becos of Allah...

This thing really pains me.


I believe that there are few good muslims that will accept that there is a problem within the religion but they keep quiet. The fake moderates like Vedaxcool, Tbaba1234 and Maclatunji wil come here and claim that "that is not real sharia". Well, majority of sharia is practiced with harsh consequences for non muslism

But why change name and papers? This i believe is wrong. This change does not make one a christian? She and family could have kept the names but have a belief change. Names dont affect ones salvation!
