Malaysia Court Rejects Reflecting Conversion On Identity Card

In Putrajaya, Malaysia, an appellate court has rejected an application to remove "Islam" from the identity card of a woman who says she has accepted the Christian faith. Bernama reports today on the 2-1 decision which held that her renunciation of Islam had not been confirmed by a Sharia court or any other Islamic religious authority.
