Christian Persecution in Egypt

Egyptian Maher El-Gowhary and his 15 year old daughter Dina never pray twice at the same church, never stay longer than a month in any one apartment. They are constantly under threat, always on the run because they converted to Christianity in a largely Muslim country.

Several religious fatwas have been issued for "spilling his blood" after Maher asked an Egyptian Court to legally recognize his conversion, so he can one day be buried as a Christian and so his daughter won't be forced into a marriage by her Muslim mother.


The court ruled a legal conversion to Christianity would threaten public order. His lawyer told us it's a dangerous double standard because in Egypt a Christian can convert to the Muslim faith in a week, but a Muslim cannot convert to the Christian faith.

I would imagine the Egyptian government will quietly look the other way when this man is killed because of his conversion. Then, of course, nobody will ever be tried and sentenced for the crime.

Big difference between Islamic justice and what we are used to here in this country.

The Coptic Egyptian Christians I have met through the years have been people of great Christian faith and character. They have radiated Christ.
