An Egyptian Christian woman has been jailed for her father’s brief conversion to Islam over 40 years ago which made her legally a Muslim despite her official papers stating that she is a Christian, her lawyer said Thursday.

You are so mistaken. Seems history is not your strengh. Let's look at human rights violations of some ATHEIST systems like China, the former Soviet Union, Vietnam, or Cambodia. Let's look in history of secular goverments violations like Italy, Japan or Germany just 50 yeats ago. No bro, the reality is that waht causes one person to impose his rules over others even if they have to kill them is Pride, Egoism, Hate, in other words, Sin. It's man's deceitful heart.
So it is worthless to change the outer structures, if the heart remains unchange. Jesus (not religion) changes the heart!
Of all the religions on earth, Islam is the one that feels the most threatened. The Muslim's numerical supremacy is obviously not a comfort to them. What are Muslims afraid of? Is it possible that they know that if people heard about the love and sacrifice of our Lord Jesus on the cross that it would have such a devastating impact on them and that they would come in droves to Christ? Are they scared about a gospel that tells people that God actually loves them? Let us pray for Muslims to be able to know the one true God.
Egypt has received over $50 billion in military aid from the US since 1975. $1.3 billion annually. Military aid that would no doubt be used to persecute Christians. You lot ought to sort that one out.
North American Christians need to thank God every day for our freedoms--while we still have them. I'm ashamed to say I hardly ever pray for our persecuted brothers and sisters.
This is what religion does when it has enough power, regardless of whether it's Christianity, Islam, or any other form of mythical fantasy worship.

The silence from the Christian "leaders" who signed a letter apologizing to Muslims clerics is deafening.
Nice place, Egypt. You have to have the government's approval to practice whatever religion you want.
This is the face of Islam. Even if you want to ignore the "fanatics" this is just normal, middle of the road Islam, our "ally". This is not happening hundreds of years ago, this is happening today. The persecution of our brothers and sisters in Christ is being committed daily all over the world by Muslims and we have a group of Christian leaders making apologies for the Crusades...something just doesn't seem right.
