THE FREETHINKER: A 15-year-old convert to Christianity has appealed to Egypt’s President Mubarak to allow her and her father to leave the country following a string of attacks against them by Muslim fanatics.
In the latest attack three weeks ago, Dina el-Gowhary had acid thrown at her.
Her father, Maher el-Gowhary, changed his name to Peter Athanasius after converting to Christianity 35 years ago. Several fatwas were then issued calling for the “spilling of his blood”.
According to this report, Dina addressed an open letter to President Mubarak of Egypt begging him to save her and her father, and allow them to leave Egypt. >>> Barry Duke | Sunday, April 18, 2010
