Obviously the crucifixion in this case is not one that involves nails through the hands and feet, as that would likely have resulted in Said Mansour Rezk Abdelrazek’s death, but being tied to a cross. It is a Qur’anic punishment. “The only reward for those who make war upon Allah and his messenger and struggle to sow corruption on earth will be that they will be killed or crucified, or have their hands and feet cut off on opposite sides, or be expelled from the land. Such will be their degradation in this world, and in the hereafter, theirs will be an awful doom.” (Qur’an 5:33)
“‘They had him crucified’: Christian convert faces torture, execution in Egypt for leaving Islam,” by Danielle Greyman-Kennard, Jerusalem Post, November 9, 2026:
“He was tortured. They attempted to remove his cross tattoo and brought him Islamic religious figures. They had him crucified the whole time he was there,” his fiancee, Sophia told the ‘Post.’
“They tried to remove his cross tattoo. They tortured him. They had him crucified the whole time that he was there,” Sophia, the fiancée of Said Mansour Rezk Abdelrazek, an Egyptian convert to Christianity who faces the possibility of execution, told The Jerusalem Post, describing the abuse he has endured after being charged as punishment for leaving Islam.
Abdelrazek was arrested in July 2025 and has been detained by Egyptian authorities since then. His lawyer, Said Fayez, confirmed on Tuesday that Egyptian prosecutors are pursuing the “maximum penalty,” either execution or 25 years’ imprisonment. According to the NGO Coptic Solidarity, Abdelrazek faces charges of contempt for Islam, inciting public disorder, disseminating false information, and joining a banned terrorist organization that allegedly does not exist.
Fayez’s office has asserted that the terrorist organization authorities have accused him of belonging to is entirely fictitious and that the charges actually stem from his refusal to “renounce Jesus.”
Sophia, whose last name is omitted upon her request, has also confirmed that Egyptian authorities have yet to identify the alleged terrorist organization and further alleged that at least 180 other Christians are being held by the authorities on similarly dubious charges….

I had spent 12 years behind bars in Egyptstan for “insulting Islam and Muslims,” under the auspices of that zebiba-sporting, midget terrorist, El-Sissy, along with tens of thousands of non-Koranimals for said ‘crime,’ most of whom have never made it out of Egyptian Police’s and National Security Agency’s custodies (the most prominent of whom was Giulio Regeni), before I was released with torture marks over most of body.

Death to El-Sissy, in a manner eerily similar to Gadaffi’s!

Lurker, so sorry to hear this awful story of yours. I don’t know anyone personally (and hope I never do) who has suffered such an horrific ordeal. My heart goes out for you, and I sincerely hope you’re managing to deal with what you’ve been through, because there are many who wouldn’t be able to.

And people actually think they are safe while touring Egypt while its governments persecute and torture its citizens for changing their relationship to diety while maintaining their civil relation to the state. Only Islam can support such an illogical, insane government structure while claiming it raises a nation to its hightest potential. The lie is obvious everywhere it rules without western-enabled oil wealth.
Islam was invented to justify ancient criminality to redistribute wealth and political power from other cultures. It is an abject failure at creating wealth or equality.
