Article here.

Because the father converted to Islam the legal system makes the children Muslims.
Note that in Egypt your religion is listed on your national identity card, thus making it easier to discriminate against non-Muslims in hiring, legal matters, traffic stops, etc.

I think religion is retarded but you have to be fair to every religion.

The kids should decide for themselves what religion they want to be. If they chose to be Muslim, yay. If they choose to be Christian, yay.

To me, both religions are equally fake so it doesn't matter but I agree that they shouldnt just be considered Muslim. Thats sad. You should have the right to be whatever religion you want to be and believe in whatever delusions and fairy tales you want too.

Problem with choosing islam, is that you don't have the freedom to choose to leave it.

It would be that way here too if Christians had any say in the matter.

So what does a piece of paper have to do what what you feel in your heart? Faith is determined by your personal relationship with God, not by a legal status or what others categorize you as...

Many Muslims consider converts to be apostates and that is eligible to be an honor killing under Sharia. There's videos on youtube of British Muslims converting to Christianity and they are under death threats from the Muslim community from doing so.

Ibn Abbaas said : The Messenger of Allah said, “Whoever changes his (Islamic) religion, kill him.” Al-Bukhary (number 6922)
