Authorities in Egypt are starving children ages 2 and 4 to try to force their mother to abandon Christianity and return to Islam, according to reports from several ministry organizations.

The Egypt for Christ Ministry is reporting the woman, who converted to Christianity about five years ago and was arrested as she tried to leave her home country just days ago, also has been sexually assaulted by police officers.

The woman, identified by the ministry as Martha Samuel, also has been beaten and tortured in effort to force her to return to Islam, with police promises for her release if she accepts, reports are confirming.

At Jihad Watch, a report was posted by Robert Spencer about the case. He noted he's been criticized for "not acknowledging Egypt as a 'moderate Muslim country.'"

On his forum, an anonymous contributor wrote, "The whole country of Egypt must be misunderstanders of Islam! Don't they know that there is no compulsion of religion?"

On a similar comment page at Free Republic, another contributor wrote, "Animals."

Egypt is one of the nations where Islamic Shariah law is formally recognized as the source of justice, and Christians have faced persecution in the nation for generations.

Grace said since Egypt's constitution concludes laws derive from the Quran, persecution of Christians is not only allowed but endorsed by the government.

"In the last 10 years, more than 5,000 Christians have been massacred in Egypt," he told WND. "Hundreds of businesses and homes first have been looted, then burned and destroyed. Churches have been burned and destroyed."

Grace told WND that attacks, lootings and burnings are common in Egypt on Fridays, after the local imam preaches violence against Christians at his mosque.

Good thing Islam is a religion of peace. I'd hate to see what Muslims would do if it were a religion of jihad!
