Islamization gangs and Coptic minors

I'm not against the freedom of belief and I think that each one should be totally free to choose and practice whatever religion he likes according to the law and the reason. However, there are many organizations in Egypt that are interested in Coptic minor girls' Islamization. I call such organizations gangs of Islamization for they kidnap young girls in order to convert them to Islam. For them, it's not a matter of believe, but rather the amount of “new believers”!

 
Those gangs have been working actively for many months, and could catching a number of Coptic minor girls between 13 and 17 years old and convert them to Islam though the Egyptian law prohibit such conversion before 18 years old! 
 
The stories are usually one of two scenarios: Either a girl disappears willingly or after she is photographed naked or in sexual positions and threaten her of spreading such footage which is a deadly scandal in Egypt, or by kidnapping the girl forcibly like what happened recently with a fourteen years old girl of al-Dabaa. Then, the girl appears in a video on the internet declaring she has converted to Islam and she has been practicing Islam for long time, even before she had disappeared!
 
In fact, 99% of those minors were involved in an emotional relationship with a well-trained young people! Such conversion has nothing to do with beliefs as both, the minor girl as well as the trained young man, know nothing about Islam or Christianity. Look at how many people are trying to convert back to Christianity after converting to Islam seeking divorce or after an emotional relationship. Once, a human rights activist told me that only this year, more than 750 Copts have returned to Christianity after converting to Islam.
 
Again, I'm not against freedom of believe, and I respect the Islamic religion very much. However, I think there are rules to be set to protect the Egyptian national security and society. I say to the Muslims: How do you feel if your minor girl disappears suddenly, and later appears in a Youtube video claiming she has converted to Christianity? Will you accept then that and say she is free to choose? or you would say: “she has to be advised”, or “I need to talk to her”!
 
I say to the organizations (gangs) that sponsor such activities: Are you after real Muslims or just extra numbers in order to get money from the Wahhabi organizations in the Gulf, particularly Saudi Arabia. If you want the best for Islam and Muslims, you may try to teach thousands of Muslims who know nothing about Islam. For instance, those who double the fees and steal the subsidized flour and the bribed employees. Try to make make those repent, but I know you won't work with those, for no body is going to pay you like those who pay for kidnapping the minor Coptic girls!
