AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS (Worthy News) — A well known American scholar who converted from Islam to Christianity has interrupted his tour in the Netherlands because of death threats, an organizer said Wednesday, April 22.

Mark A. Gabriel left Monday, April 20, after the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) advised him to leave Europe, said Jewish-Christian pastor Ben Kok, who accompanied him to Amsterdam Schiphol Airport.

The 51-year-old Islam critic was to have stayed till at least April 25, said Kok in a statement to Worthy News' Netherlands-based news partner Manna-Vandaag.nl

It was not immediately which group or persons were responsible for the threats.

Gabriel, which is not his real name, grew up as a Muslim in Egypt. However he reportedly became disappointed in Islam while working as a teacher and imam at Cairo's Al-Azhar University.

After he became a Christian, Gabriel fled to the United States where he received asylum.

It comes amid mounting concerns about the growing influence of Muslim extremism in Europe.

    Not much one could add to this. Jesus' return can't be far off. Good is being called bad and bad is being called good! Miss California expresses her Biblically based opinion about homosexual marriage
    and gets cursed and ridiculed by a pageant judge who is a homosexual. A student gets expelled for including Jesus Christ in a class project. Christians around the world being persecuted for standing
    up for their faith. A "weak kneed" president apologizing for the United States to people that hate our guts and would like to see our country go down the tubes along with Israel!!

    2 Chronicles 14:7, "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." This applies more today than ever before. Pray Christians like you have never prayed before!!
