The situation in Egypt is confusing and the Egyptian people are confused. Very confused. Two recent surveys from Pew highlight exactly what we mean:
…the Pew researchers found that 84 percent of Egyptians favor the death penalty for people who leave the Muslim religion.
In another survey, Pew found that 90 percent of Egyptians say they believe in freedom of religion.
Our interpretation? Egyptians believe you should have the freedom to become a Muslim, but not the freedom to un-become one.
