Islamists have threatened Magdi Cristiano Allam, a former Muslim who converted to Christianity, by death. Allam wrote on social media: "Yesterday I received a new death sentence: 'I would like to slit your throat ugly shit, Murted’’, which means apostate. He asked the Minister of Interior for protection from the Islamists who live in Italy.
