A quote from the article:
By Christopher Landau, who is the
BBC Religious Affairs correspondent, Cairo  :

"Maher al-Gohary has converted from Islam to Christianity.
 In spite of facing death threats, he's engaged in a legal battle
 to have his changed religion recognised on his official Egyptian
documents. " And another quote:"Some believe  that to renounce
 Islam - known as apostasy - should be punished by death.

But human rights lawyers in Egypt are convinced that the
 country's law allows for the freedom to change religion."[end quote]

Also there is another article in today's news that suggests something I never thought about: that Valentine's day is a Christian celebration. Correction: Valentine's Day  is a SECULAR celebration--not a Christian one.

There is no mention of any sort of thing in the Bible. In fact, the only

sort of love spoken of in the Bible is married love! Of a faithful nature since

GOD says HE punishes adultery and fornication [sex before marriage].
I quote from the article:"Valentine's Day comes from Western countries. I call on
 Muslims not to imitate Christians," said preacher Sheikh Hassan
 Hamid, in a statement released to Reuters news agency on
Wednesday." 8:28 AM 2/14/2009

Also to whomever is holding the UNHCR {UN Commissioner on Refugees] please release him.

Kidnapping people will not help your cause. It may open his eyes to the circumstances and realities

in a way never before understood but it makes you look like infidels [heathens, ungodly] to the world.

Please release him!
