Sheikh Haitham Bakry, Imam of Fatatih Mosque in Luxor, defended the demonstrations demanding the family of Coptic minor girl Amira to hand her over to them claiming she has converted into Islam saying: her new behavior showed her new belief! “We are not sure Amira became Muslim, but we feel so” He explained.
He added that they demand the girl to appear and name her religion before all in order to make sure she is safe.
