It is you who are mistaken. The State and the USA have an interest in making sure that no one is taken from the USA and put into some foreign culture, I don't care if he is only 3 days old, if he is of US descent and heritage.

It would be different if BOTH parents were taking him, temporarily, overseas while they served as missionaries or workers for the USA government or corporations.

If when he is 18, he decides to join his mother and stepfather in Egypt, then let him.

If the Egyptian were his natural father, my position might be different. My judgment is based on his having both natural parents white US natural born citizens.

This is different from the Elian case, but of course La Reno decided that one wrongly too, for different reasons.

Despite your claim that this is different from the Elian case, you sound exactly like Uncle Fidel explaining why Elian should be in Cuba. I assume if this mother had converted to Judaism you would empower the State and USA to take away her child so she couldn't travel with him to Israel?
