1Opinion of the Court
LYNCH, Circuit Judge.
Said Guirguis Khalil is an Egyptian native and citizen who entered the United States in 1996. He applied for asylum in 1998 based on both past persecution and a fear of future persecution, arising from his membership in the Coptic church. An Immigration Judge found that Khalil did not have a well-founded fear of persecution and denied his request for asylum and withholding of deportation, but granted voluntary departure. The Board of Immigration Appeals affirmed the Immigration Judge’s decision. Khalil petitions for review of the denial of asylum. We affirm the denial.
