Allam, who has been outspoken about the conflict in the Middle East, in 2006 organised a demonstration in Rome in support of Christians in the Muslim world.

Does there happen to be a text of Mr. Allam’s profession of Christianity available anywhere. It might be interesting (or disturbing?) to read it.
