International Pressure Reverses Shariah Court Death Sentence for Sudanese Christian Mother
  Be the first of your
friends to like this.Earlier today, an appeal court in Sudan overturned Meriam Yahya Ibrahim Ishag's death penalty and released her from jail.Ibrahim is the woman who had never embraced her absent father's Muslim faith and whose mother brought her up as a God-fearing Christian. Shariah law demands that such a woman is an apostate and demands either execution or "reversion" to Islam. That, Meriam refused to do. She was willing to die for her faith. This was her only crime—a refusal to convert or revert to Islam. This exceptionally beautiful woman was arrested and brutalized in a medieval fashion: Chained up in a dark dungeon and forced to give birth on the filthy floor of that very dungeon in chains. The fact that her husband is an American citizen and that her two children, including the daughter born while she was imprisoned, are also American citizens did not sway the Sudanese authorities. What has? It is hard to say. International human rights groups and Christian groupslaunched campaigns on her behalf. An internet campaign which I quickly joined seems to have gathered some momentum, but internet campaigns do not open cell doors. Many articles were published, including mine at Breitbart, but that, too, does not usually open cell doors. » CONTINUE READING
