Overview

As counsel for the Rutherford Institute, George Gatgounis represented Robert Hussein, a Kuwaiti citizen during the time of the American liberation of Kuwait, who converted from Islam to Christianity. Mr. Hussein’s wife, a devout Muslim, reported him to a Shia family court judge. The Shia family court judge—according to Shar’ia law—sentenced Mr. Hussein to death. Mr. Hussein, accordingly, fled to the United States. The Robert Hussein case explores the foreign policy implications of American troops defending nations that deny one of our most fundamental freedoms—the freedom to choose one’s own religion.
