A Sudanese court has sentenced a woman to hang for apostasy after she left Islam and married a Christian man. ''We gave you three days to recant but you insist on not returning to Islam. I sentence you to be hanged to death,'' the judge told the woman, AFP reports. Western embassies and rights groups had urged Sudan to respect the right of the pregnant woman to choose her religion. Local media report the sentence would not be carried out for two years after she has given birth. Sudan has a majority Muslim population, which is governed by Islamic law. The judge also sentenced her to 100 lashes after convicting her of adultery - because her marriage to a Christian man was not valid under Islamic law. Earlier in the hearing, an Islamic cleric spoke with her in a caged dock for about 30 minutes, AFP reports. Then she calmly told the judge: ''I am a Christian and I never committed apostasy.'' http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-27424064 |

Amnesty International said the woman, Meriam Yehya Ibrahim Ish*g, was raised as an Orthodox Christian, her mother's religion, because her father, a Muslim, was reportedly absent during her childhood. In court, the judge addressed her by her Muslim name, Adraf Al-Hadi Mohammed Abdullah. She was convicted of adultery on the grounds that her marriage to a Christian man from South Sudan was void under Sudan's version of Islamic law, which says Muslim women cannot marry non-Muslims. The woman was originally sentenced to death on Sunday but given until Thursday to return to Islam. On Tuesday, the embassies of the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands issued a joint statement expressing ''deep concern'' about the case and urging Sudan to respect the right to freedom of religion, AFP says. The woman was arrested and charged with adultery in August 2013, and the court added the charge of apostasy in February 2014 when she said she was a Christian and not a Muslim, Amnesty said. The group called for her immediate release. She is said to be eight months' pregnant. |

Maybe the woman found her happiness in Christianity. She should have the freedom to chose what makes her happy.

There are complex theological Reasons for my statement. Reasons I cannot go into in a lay environment. Maybe amongst philosophers and other deep thinkers. |

@ nolisto1 - 15.05.14 - 02:24pm There are complex theological Reasons for my statement. Reasons I cannot go into in a lay environment. Maybe amongst philosophers and other deep thinkers. So deep religious reasoning is exclusive to a select few ....that seems totally wrong .... |

@ ummati - 15.05.14 - 04:24pm oh no, this is not good. Ummati. You're too nice to be associated with scandal after scandal because you're a Muslim. The logical thing is to leave Islam and embrace Christianity. I mean, ben20 alone should give you every reason to flee. |
