Magdi Allam, Italy's most prominent Muslim commentator, is baptized by Pope Benedict XVI during the Easter vigil mass in St. Peter's Basilica, at the Vatican, Saturday, March 22, 2008. Allam, who has long spoken out against Islamic fanaticism and received death threats as a result, converted to Roman Catholicism. Allam, 55, is the deputy editor of the Corriere della Sera newspaper and writes often on Muslim and Arab affairs. He was born a Muslim in Egypt, but was educated by Catholics and says he has never been a practicing Muslim.
