So they left the Coptic Church to become Muslims in order to attain an easy divorce, then tried to deconvert and re-enter the Coptic Church, because they never truly believed in Islam, but still believed in Coptic Christianity, which forbade them to divorce, which they did anyway, as Muslims, which they don’t want to be anymore, because they want to go back to the Coptic Church, whose teachings they could take or leave, which they did, leave I mean, but now they’re free to return to what they left, such as it is.
“It’s a big step for religious freedom in Egypt, but religious freedom will only be fully reached once Muslims can convert to Christianity,” said Ramsis el-Naggar, a lawyer who worked on behalf of the 12 converts.
Hopefully, those Muslims who one day will be free to convert to Christianity will not then seek to reconvert to Islam in order to seek a divorce, only to deconvert and reconvert to Christianity in order— oh whatever . . .
