To the Editor re: article on : CHRISTIAN COUPLE IMPRISONED FOR CONVERSION. I totally disagree with this article : All the major schools of Islamic law (Shari'ah) agree that converts from Islam (apostates) should be put to death, their marriages annulled, and their children and property taken away. This tradition is upheld and taught by most Muslim religious leaders around the world today. In countries like Iran, Sudan and Saudi Arabia the death sentence for leaving Islam is actually part of the law. Whilst in Egypt there is technically no law banning apostasy, converts are still actively punished by the police and often face imprisonment, beatings and torture on various pretexts in order to try to force them to return to Islam. Some have died in prison. Several have had to flee the country. Converts have sometimes been arrested under the country's emergency legislation which allows for the holding of suspects without charge or trial for indefinite periods. Shariah does not teach to put people to death if they convert .. their punishment is with God, because we truely do not goes what goes on in peoples heart. You should do you research properly, not make up lies because you want to slander anothers belief system.
