Italy Stands on the Side of Freedom

Dhimmi Watch:

This is what all Western states should be doing.

Indeed:

Italy's Foreign Ministry has instructed the country's embassy in Cairo to monitor closely the plight of an Egyptian man, Mohammed Hegazi, who has received death threats following his conversion from Islam to Christianity.

Good on Italy.

Last year Italy granted political asylum to an Afghan man, Abdul Rahman, who converted to Christianity and who could have been executed in Afghanistan for renouncing Islam.

Hegazi's case first came to light when he asked the Egyptian Interior Ministry to change the religion in his identity card, only to have his request refused.

Of course. You can only check in, never check out.
