Christian Woman sentenced to death for her faith (1 Viewer)

A Sudanese court has sentenced a Christian woman to death for renouncing Islam, her lawyer said Thursday

Meriam Yehya Ibrahim, 27, was convicted by a Khartoum court this week of apostasy, or the renunciation of faith.
The court considers her to be Muslim.

She also was convicted of adultery.

Ibrahim's lawyer Haram Othman told CNN that her legal team will appeal the verdict within 15 days.

According to the rights group Amnesty International, she was convicted of adultery because her marriage to a Christian man was considered void under Sharia law. She was sentenced to 100 lashes for the second crime.
Christian Solidarity Worldwide, another rights group, described Ibrahim's case as follows:

She was born to a Sudanese Muslim father and an Ethiopian Orthodox mother. Her father left when she was 6 years old, and Ibrahim was raised by her mother as a Christian.

However, because her father was Muslim, the courts considered her to be the same, which would mean her marriage to a non-Muslim man is void.

So Obama is Muslim. :coffee:


 
Sounds like Islam is fun
The Sudan is a fundamental Islamist society. That is an extreme form of Islam. We really need to keep making this distinction. There are more moderate forms of Islam who don't believe in any of this ####. The vast majority of Muslims living in the United States, for example, are not Islamist and don't treat women or other religions in this manner.

 
Before we attack all of Islam let's not forget the 20 people murdered by Christians in the Salem Witch Trials right here....all religions - not just Islam - can get a little murdery.

:shrug: they floated. You have to burn them at that point - can't have wet witches going around town cursing everyone.

Whoa! When did that happen?
Probably back when murder for not worshiping the same religion as everybody else was legal.
Good thing some religions are able to get out of the dark ages. :thumbup:
Speaking of dark ages, how did Christian's justify slave ownership in America? Never understood that one.

Now if only they could get out of the 1950s.

Much of what happens among lay people and poor theologians is simply looking for a way to justify their own presuppositions regarding what the bible says. So you see it used to justify all sorts of evil. Sad.

 
Great job GM bringing up stuff that happened hundreds of years ago.
Oh please the Christian Taliban is alive and well in this country. They haven't gotten to executing folks but they sure seem to want to.
Seriously?

NC, We're not living in the Handmaid's Tale. I am sick to death of this moral equivalence by progressives. It's why I could NEVER be a progressive, despite my sympathy with you guys on so many issues.

Look, let's get this straight:

1. The Islamist branch of the Islam religion, which includes the Taliban, the governments of Iran, Sudan, Yemen, a few other countries, and most of the world's terrorist groups, is evil.

2. Unfortunately, Islamism is a large and significant minority within the religion of Islam as a whole.

3. There is NO modern equivalent to Islamism among any of the world's other major religions, including Christianity. None.

You're on fire today. :thumbup:
You guys may need to start paying more attention to what the conservative wing of Christians in this country have been proposing and fighting for. They come right out and say Freedom of Religion is only for Christians. So get mad at me if you want or take back your religion from the losers hijacking it. Same place Islam finds itself these days actually.

Comparing one group's chest beating to another's murdering isn't making you look good.

Your sympathies for the victim are noted

No idea how you can read this and your first reaction is to slam the religion of the victim.
I didn't slam the religion I slammed many of it's practitioners.

I'm not sure if you pay much attention in the religion threads, but I'm just as hard on that wing as you are. And I'm normally a big fan of your work, but you're way off in here in a gross way.

Not a real leap from one to the other.

 
I'm trying to find at least one Christian minister who has called for death to anyone who leaves Christianity for another religion. I'm having some trouble here...

In your opinion. And I suspect that if you took a poll you'd be on the extreme losing end of the results.

Always a weak argument. NC's wrong, but not because a majority disagree with him.

I don't think I am. But there is one place we agree i shouldn't have brought it up here. My apologies for reacting first and thinking second.

Off meds or on? I'm not quite sure...

Self medicated only for better or worse.

I'm glad you brought it up, because it's important. One of the main reasons that there is not enough worldwide condemnation of what the Islamists are doing is that progressives, both here and around the world, refuse to single out Islam as unilaterally having these issues. They (progressives) insist on moral equivalence, and declaring that all religions are equally at fault. And this is simply not true.

Well again wrong place so we should let it go. As I said this is a horrendous crime and I wish we could do more but not sure we have anything we can do.

Holy ****. I totally agree with a Tim post. Wait, I just saw a pig fly past the window. Am I dreaming?
