WIGGINS, Circuit Judge:

Hamed Elnager, a native and citizen of Egypt, appeals the Board of Immigration Appeals (the “BIA”) denial of asylum and withholding of deportation relief. He contends that the BIA applied the incorrect legal standard to his asylum petition and that the decision was not supported by substantial evidence. We AFFIRM the decision of the BIA.
