SNIPPET: "Egypt: Over 20 lawyers attend court hearing for ex-Muslim to endorse his conviction and execution for apostasy
Muhammad commanded: "If anyone changes his religion, kill him (Bukhari vol. 9, bk. 84, no. 57)."
But they're keeping their grievances current, too: "Memos submitted by opposing lawyers asserted that cases such as El-Gohary’s form part of a U.S. Zionist attack on Islam in Egypt, that Christianity is an inferior religion to Islam and that Copts protect and defend converts from Islam at their own peril."
An update on this story. "Egypt - Islamic lawyers urge death sentence for convert," from Compass Direct News, February 26:
ISTANBUL, February 26 (Compass Direct News) – In the latest hearing of a Muslim-born Egyptian’s effort to officially convert to Christianity, opposing lawyers advocated he be convicted of “apostasy,” or leaving Islam, and sentenced to death.
More than 20 Islamic lawyers attended the hearing on Sunday (Feb. 22) in Maher Ahmad El-Mo’otahssem Bellah El-Gohary’s case to obtain identification papers with Christianity designated as his religious affiliation. Two lawyers led the charge, Ahmed Dia El-Din and Abdel Al-Migid El-Anani.
“[El-Din] started to talk about the Quran being in a higher position than the Bible,” one of El-Gohary’s lawyers, Said Fayez, told Compass. “[El-Din said] people can move to a higher religion but not down, so people cannot move away from Islam because it is highest in rank.”"

If Christians did that and maintained that it was part of the “religion of Christianity” (to kill anyone who converted away from Christianity) — the state would *outlaw* Christianity in a second!
But, will they outlaw Islam, as *illegal* in promoting the killing of someone for choosing a religion of their own?
Nope, the “state” gives a “pass” to evil and illegal religions who are going to “take over the world” but that same state *condemns* Christianity for all it’s “good works” .... LOL...
The base is where the defense comes from.
Within fifty years we will likely see these in the UK and much of Europe. Eventually we might even see this in America if we aren’t careful.
You need not fear—long before that happens the peoples of America and Europe will rise up and cast aside their wimp-leaders and take on the Jihadists and Islamic peoples. If they do not—they deserve to be made slaves to the Muslims. At least the Muslims will fight for what they believe to be true. Will the so called Christians? Will the secular humanists who decry Christian beliefs simply pave the way for the Islamic conquest. They will be the first to be beheaded by the victorious followers of Mohammad. I believe the day of the Muslim will soon pass.
