Christian Convert Fights Malaysian Law

Submitted by pastordale on Tue, 2007-05-29 08:27.

Lina Joy has been disowned by her family, shunned by friends and forced into hiding - all because she renounced Islam and embraced Christianity in Muslim-majority Malaysia. Now, after a seven-year legal struggle, Malaysia's highest court will decide on Wednesday whether her constitutional right to choose her religion overrides an Islamic law that prohibits Malay Muslims from leaving Islam.
Should people be allowed to convert? The court will decide.

The High Court ruled that Lina Joy is to remain a Muslim, and the decision to remove the "Islam" word from her identity card is rejected.
