Pregnant Muslim woman to be hanged for marrying Christian man in Sudan

Sudan Woman Faces HangingCan’t leave the Islamic faith or you shall die.

And in the meantime Leftists are mute and there are — oddly enough — no hashtags from the First Lady about it.  She is remarkably silent on the matter.  Why is that?

This Is the Pregnant Woman Sudan Wants to Hang for Marrying a Christian

by Lama Hasan

Lawyers for a pregnant Sudanese woman plan to appeal an Islamic judge’s decision that she be flogged with 100 lashes and then be hanged for marrying a Christian man and converting.

Amnesty International and Western embassies are expressing alarm over the harsh sentence meted out to Meriam Yehya Ibrahim Ishag, who is eight months pregnant.

So far the only concession granted by the Islamic court is to wait until Ishag gives birth before carrying out the sentence.

The judge told Ishaq, “We gave you three days to recant, but you insist on not returning to Islam. I sentence you to be hanged to death.” Officially her crime is apostasy.

Ishaq replied, “I am a Christian and I never committed apostasy.”

And here is the convoluted thinking:

The judge also ruled that her marriage to a Christian man was invalid and not recognized under Islamic law, which means that she had committed adultery. He ordered her to be flogged for that alleged offense.

Ah, the understanding, considerate, non-judgmental, inclusive and loving embrace of Islam, as currently practiced today.  “Islam is as Islam does.”
