Yemen, Oct. 11, 2007 (CWNews.com) - The Palestinian newspaper al-Quds al-Arabi is reporting 2,000 conversions from Islam to Christianity in Yemen.
 
 Many of the converts are reportedly living abroad fear for their lives. Yemen adheres to Shari'a law, which forbids conversions from Islam on pain of death.
 
 The World Muslim League has appealed to Yemen’s government to stem the tide of conversions, placing the blame on schools administered by foreigners.
