Woman Sentenced to 3 Years by religion of peace for Claiming 'Christian' ID... November 25, 2007 Cairo, Egypt (AHN) - An Egyptian court has sentenced a woman to three years in prison because her father converted to Islam briefly 45 years ago. Under Egyptian law, religion is passed to children from the father. Shadia Nagui Ibrahim, 47, a Christian, was charged with fraud for putting Christianity as her religion on her marriage certificate, even though she was unaware that her father's conversion in 1962 had made her officially Muslim. According to reports, Ibrahim's father left home in 1962 when the woman was only two years-old and converted to Islam. However, only a few years later he returned to the family after a reconciliation with his wife, moved back in and re-converted to Christianity. Egyptian law stipulates that a citizen cannot convert away from Islam, so the elder Ibrahim was forced to forge his documents to show he was Christian.
