Christian Converts In Egypt Face New Hurdles To Recognition



Religion Clause Blog reports:

Judge Muhammad Husseini, who in another case has ruled against the right of a Muslim to leave his religion, has asked Egypt’s Supreme Constitutional Court to review the constitutionality of Egypt’s civil law that grants citizens the right to convert. He argues that the law conflicts with Chap. One, Art. 2 of Egypt’s Constitution that says Islamic jurisprudence is the main source of legislation.
