Al-Qa'eda Iraq claimed credit for the Church siege in Baghdad. Now they are saying that some Coptic Christian women in Egypt have converted to Islam, but are being held prisoner by the Copts. And if they are not released, then they will attack Christians in the Middle East. Egypt is concerned because a huge Coptic festival that lasts 2 weeks started today, and they're expecting up to 2 million people.

Coptic Convert Victory
More good news for Egyptians. In Islam, it's good to convert to Islam, but to convert away from Islam is considered apostasy, and that can really cause problems. Some Coptic Christians who converted to Islam, then wanted to convert back to Coptic Christianity, will be allowed to do so. Unfortunately, they're being allowed to do so because they were "born Christian." So not everybody can convert away from Islam.
