British Court Grants Asylum To Muslim Converts To Christianity

Earlier this week, the Christian Post reported that a British immigration appeals court has granted asylum to a couple that had converted from Islam to evangelical Christianity. For the first time, the court recognized that the couple faced threats, including death threats, if they returned to Syria, the husband's country of origin. Six members of the U.S. Congress had sent a letter to the British appeals court in August urging it to find that the couple would face severe religious persecution if they were returned to Syria.
