'We are Christian,' boys tell Muslims

[Daniels]

Two young boys ordered to take a school test that would result in their conversion to Islam wrote, "I am Christian," on the exam papers, knowing in advance that could very well spell the end of their educations. Now a U.S.-based organization is lobbying for international pressure on Egypt to quit forcing Christians into such no-win situations.

I'm curious about a few things.

What exactly was this test?

And how would it have forced their conversion?

The article doesn't say, and I'm REALLY curious. After all, people can learn about a religion enough to pass tests on it and not convert to it. I know; I went to Catholic school my whole life until college and several kids stayed non-Christian throughout and never failed religion class.

I'm only guessing, but I understand conversion to Islam is something like saying Allah is God and Mohamid is his (last) prophet. So the test may have ask a question along thiat line ... then the school leader could have anounced they had conversed and put them under a lot of pressure to practice Islam. If they didn't practice Islam they would be considered apostates. Apostates are to be killed.

Just a guess.

That would make sense, in a twisted way that I'm pretty sure isn't what God intended.
