  6. Ayman Raafa, a 23-year-old Christan Egyptian, speaks during an interview with Reuters in Cairo December 6, 2009. Raafa was nine months old when the father he never knew converted to Islam. Raafa was raised a Christian but the state says children automatically become Muslim on a father's conversion, a policy that places dozens of people in limbo in a society that does not -- in practice -- recognise conversion away from Islam. Raafa is one of a group of 40 facing the same identity conundrum and now filing a lawsuit to have their Christian faith recognised, touching a raw spot in relations between Muslims and 10 percent of Egypt's 77 million people who are Christian.
