Egyptian who converted to Christianity can’t get into the US

Here is one guy who does deserve a visa to get into the US.  He converted from Islam to Christianity years ago and thought when the recent Egyptian “revolution” occurred he would be free to escape the Muslim “prison” he and his daughter had lived in for years.

He got out of Egypt but only as far as Syria.  Now the US (where his wife lives!) won’t let him in.  All the while, and every day, the US admits Muslim refugees from all over the world, but we don’t let this Christian refugee in—it is maddening!

From Compass Direct News:

CAIRO, Egypt, March 21 (CDN) — When the plane carrying Maher El-Gohary and his daughter, Dina Mo’otahssem, took off from Cairo International Airport last month, they both wept with joy. After spending two-and-a-half years in hiding for leaving Islam to become Christians, they were elated by their newfound freedom.

They also felt secure that once they arrived in Syria, they would quickly obtain visas to the United States and start a new life. That hope soon proved unfounded.

After spending more than a week and a half unable to obtain a visa to the United States or to any country in Europe, they realized they may have traded in the reality of being prisoners in their own country for being refugees in another. And as El-Gohary watches the weeks pass and his resources dwindle, he said the stress is almost unbearable.
