Meriam Yehya Ibrahim Ishag (Khartoum, Sudan) A Sudanese woman has been ordered to be flogged then hanged after converting to Christianity and marrying a Christian man.

The case has received little media coverage in the United States, there have been no hashtag selfies or Hollywood outcry.

Amnesty International called the court’s ruling “truly abhorrent.” Because the Islamic country does not allow people to convert, it sees Meriam Yehya Ibrahim Ishag’s marriage as a form of adultery.

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.” The organization’s Sudan researcher Manar Idriss said that “adultery and apostasy are acts which should not be considered crimes at all. It is flagrant breach of international human rights law.”

The court has decided to allow Ishag to give birth before her hanging. Amnesty International reported Ishag was raised as an Orthodox Christian, her mother’s religion, because her father, a Muslim, was reportedly absent during her childhood.

Terrible that this is happening, but I never get why people say this.

I think he's trying to point out what seems to be the selectiveness of the outrage in the media.

Christians were eating Muslims at one point in parts of Africa. Religious persecution is a daily occurrence there.

Even if it was selective, it happens so often that a statement is asking a little much.

She has actually been a Christian her entire life. Her mother was a Christian and her father a Muslim. The father left the mother and the girl was raised a Christian.

Sudan says she is a Muslim because her father was one. She is considered to be an adulterer because she had sex with a Christian,for which the penalty is death.

Sudan is a fricked up country.

Lolz at that Huffpost writer.

Eta: McVeigh (who the Huffpo writer defined as a Christian) said his religion was science and that he was an agnostic.

Brevik is pretty much in the same category. He saw Christianity as a cultural means of preserving a European identity. He said himself he didn't have a relationship with Jesus or God.

"I ate his leg, the whole thing right down to the bone - with bread. That's why people call me Mad Dog.”

""People started attacking him, kicking him. They smashed a rock against his head. They kept going even after he was dead."

He went on: "They set the body on fire. There were about 20 youths. They cut a whole leg off. Then one of them started to eat it. He bit into it four times and swallowed. It was raw, not burned.

"This was right in front of the Burundian peacekeepers. One of the soldiers vomited. Then he chased people away with his gun."

LINK -- second story, with pictures.

Apparently America doesn't care when Muslims are beaten to death, burned and consumed by violent Christians.

Anyway, Africa's a giant shithole and anyone who thinks that you can be outraged at all of the stuff that happens there is just taking potshots.

It has been awhile since we have had a good ole religious battle royale on this board. (Atheist threads don't count)

It is well known that poverty, ignorance and disease are a dangerous triad. This deadly ignorance was again demonstrated on the 28th of August 2011, as Birom (Berom) Christians were recorded in these videos, eating Muslims they had killed and roasted.

The event occurred when Christians surrounded Muslims observing their Eid annual holy devotion. Due to a miscommunication with the police, there was no usual requested security at the venue, a necessity in polar Jos. Christian youth surrounded the praying Muslims, burned their cars, pelted them and then killed, roasted and ate some.

-- 2011.
