Bishop Wolfgang HuberIt is estimated that about 5000 Muslims living in Germany convert to Christianity every year.  Bishop Wolfgang Huber (photo at right), Chairman of the German Evangelical Church, says such converts are being increasingly intimidated by Muslims who see them as “apostates”.

Muslim converts fear for their lives – not only in predominantly Muslim countries but also in Germany.

The leader of the main line Protestant Churches in Germany, Bishop Wolfgang Huber, is deeply concerned about increasing threats to the lives of former Muslims, who have embraced the Christian faith.

There are congregations of former Muslims in Berlin, Huber’s diocese, who live in constant fear of violent attacks, the Bishop told the 6,000 participants of a Protestant Church Rally in Bavaria, May 28. Huber: “I am convinced that there are more Muslim converts in Germany than we know of.”

German evangelist Ulrich Parzany reports that former Muslims who have embraced Christ sometimes change their identity to avoid reprisals.
