protecting my faith and family

Tweet

My name is Liz, from Malaysia. I converted to a Christian 2 years ago in a local church.Becoming a Christian is something impossible for a Malay in Malaysia. Here as you are born as Malay, you are automatically a Muslim.After Baptism on November 2003,I submitted an application to change my name and religion as a Christian (which has not been approved to date).I was then called by the the Religious Department for a strict and continous counselling (which sometimes even sounds like a threat). On my last counselling on August 2005,my parents were called upon by the Religious Department to be informed and to get their permission for me to convert...and that was the beginning of everything. My son was taken away from my custody as I am no longer a Muslim.I was threaten by my own father to burn me alive if he ever seen me again.I wanted to fight for my son, but i don't have the right.According to the law,a non-muslim parent does not have the right to have his/her muslim child...even if the child is a baby. My son is now 3 1/2 years old.My sister used to bring him to me secretly.I plan to get my child and leave this country, but i don't know where to go.Please, i need advice and assitance...I really don't know what to do.
