Christian woman in Sudan sentenced to death for her faith

May 15, 2014

(CNN) -- 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.

Wow, seemingly harmless actions here in the USA can get you put to death elsewhere.

This is Sharia.

Get used to it.

Apostasy (leaving the faith) is a capital offense.

This is Sharia.

Get used to it.

This is 'Merica and I don't have to get used to barbaric happenings on the other side of the world.

And, while you are thinking about it:

"What Rights, under the US Bill Of Rights,
would you have under Sharia Law?"

Had the Sudanese woman been a Muslim, she should have been executed anyways, or else get shunned.

So you support the idea of her getting executed for converting to Christianity?

"shunned", not likely. They're not Amish.

Flogged until she died? Possibly.

Imprisoned until... well, same outcome. Now you're onto something.
