They know that Muhammad said, "Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him," and they take it seriously.
"Egypt: Islamists Join Case Against Convert To Christianity," from Compass Direct:
ISTANBUL, October 10 (Compass Direct News) – Conservative Islamic lawyers came out in support of the Egyptian government last week at the opening court hearing of a Muslim convert to Christianity.In a move that has caused national uproar, former Muslim Mohammed Ahmed Hegazy is suing Egypt to change the religion listed on his identification papers to Christianity.
Islamist lawyers associated with radical cleric Youssef al-Badry attended the October 2 hearing in Cairo and legally joined the case on the government’s side, Hegazy told Compass.
Hegazy’s lawyers confirmed that Magdy al-Anany and at least three other fundamentalist Muslim attorneys filed to support the government.
Al-Badry was one of several clerics who called for Hegazy’s death in Egypt’s national media, following the announcement of the case in early August. The radical Islamist also filed charges of inciting sectarian strife against Hegazy’s original lawyer, Mamdouh Nakhla.
Under public criticism and death threats, Nakhla withdrew from Hegazy’s case days after it became public. Fanatics began harassing Hegazy and his pregnant wife, also a former Muslim, with angry telephone calls, forcing the couple into hiding.
“It’s quite sensitive,” Hegazy’s new lawyer, Rawda Ahmad, told Compass through a translator. “It would be the first time that someone who converted to Christianity would be able to change his ID card.”
Though Egyptian law does not forbid conversion from Islam to Christianity, it provides no legal means to make the change. Converts to Christianity usually hide their identity to avoid torture and forced recantation at the hands of family members and security police.
“I’m full of heartache that in my own country, society has been radicalized to such an extent that I can’t have the right to convert,” Hegazy told Compass this week.
How long before Hegazy dies under mysterious circumstances....like the young man in Sweden who had the audacity to date a Muslim woman, was threatened by her family, and then died in a mysterious auto accident...like the Pakistani Christian boy who was accused of writing a blasphemous statement and even after being cleared because he was illiterate, he was then murdered.
"Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him," and they take it seriously."
...quit letting Muslims into your country, ban Muslim Immigration...seriously...
How long before Hegazy dies under mysterious circumstances...

This exemplifies a true Christian, that he will suffer for the Cross.
All Islamists who convert to Christianity and face social and legal persecution for their religious belief, and even death for apostasy, are the true Christians in the original sense of suffering for Christ. Islamic converts to Christianity in their suffering exemplify Jesus in ways most of us who were born to the faith have forgotten. Islamic converts are in this sense the TRUE Christians, because they accept their new faith with suffering.
Any church community worth its salt in Christ must support these converts, because they recall what their faith is really about.
Muhammad's advice to kill former Muslims:
Volume 4, Book 52, Number 260:
Narrated Ikrima:
Ali burnt some people and this news reached Ibn 'Abbas, who said, "Had I been in his place I would not have burnt them, as the Prophet said, 'Don't punish (anybody) with Allah's Punishment.' No doubt, I would have killed them, for the Prophet [Muhammad] said, 'If somebody (a Muslim) discards his religion, kill him.' "
Killing a Muslim that discard his Muslim religion is inspired by Muhammad.
Muhammad's insecurity in losing followers is at issue here.
Muhammad's 8th century barbarism in dealing with his fallen followers has no place in the world- whether it be the 8th or the 21st century.
Muhammad was the leader of a religious CULT, Islam.
Muhammad's cruelty and injustice in dealing with his fallen followers has convinced me that he was completely rotten as a human person and should never be emulated.
And yet Americans continue to buy the myth that Islam is a religion of peace. It still amazes me beyond comprehension that leaders like President Bush, and Condeleeza Rice refer to Islam as the religion of peace when it is just the opposite. Who has these leaders ears when it comes to Islam? Is it CAIR? They are masters of deception and half truths. They are proud of their abilities to deceive the infidels because they believe that they are already in the setting of the dar-al-harb.
We saw and we listened to the applause of of those little heads of mush at Columbia University when Mahmoud Amadinejad addressed them with his lying propaganda.
You cannot appease this ideology, you cannot deter or sign peace treaties with this ideology. And if they do sign treaties it is for the allowance of the hudna that will help them time to gather more strength against the infidel.
Yes America,keep on drinking the cool aid until one day you wake up and it is too late
Since we "all believe in the same God", how is this possible?
I'd better email the George for an answer.

Dateline Istanbul?
Hey, it's the law whatcha gonna do about it?
Great new program on BBC:
Law and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, starring Fred Mohammed.
Why goes Al-Badry has to support the government's case? Isn't he a part of the government?
After all, this separation of church and state idea is a decadent western notion.
