“There were no details on what led to the 27-year-old’s departure from Khartoum, and there was no immediate comment from the Sudanese authorities.” But as she “arrived at Rome’s Ciampino airport with her family and Italy’s vice minister for foreign affairs, Lapo Pistelli,” it would appear — at least on the basis of this story […]
Sudan: Muslim family drops suit against “apostate” Christian woman
“The case was brought by 27-year-old Meriam Ibrahim’s Sudanese Muslim father to formally establish her as his Muslim daughter” — so that she could be executed as an apostate from Islam. The dropping of their suit means that one significant obstacle to her leaving Sudan has been cleared away. But she is not safely away […]
Muslim cleric: “Islam recognizes no distinction between regular armies and civilians”
He is specifically referring to Americans — “American taxpayers” — for supposedly abetting the shedding of the blood of Iraqi children. In any case, if any Muslims heed his words and are in a position to act upon them, more American blood will be shed. These statements are also noteworthy in light of Hamas’s recent […]
Sharia Sudan demolishes church, bans construction of new churches
Islamic law forbids the Christians who live as subjugated dhimmis under the hegemony of the Muslims to construct new churches or to repair old ones, so that their communities will remain in a perpetual state of decline. “Sudan bans construction of new churches,” Pravoslavie, July 13, 2014 (thanks to Filip): Sudan has prohibited the construction […]
Sudan: Christian woman’s family to go to court to prove she was Muslim
If her family succeeds in proving that she was once a Muslim, she will almost certainly be killed, as per Islamic law’s death penalty for apostates. Why would her family want that fate for her? Because Islam is paramount over all other loyalties and affections. The Qur’an’s 60th chapter depicts Abraham telling his pagan family […]
U.S. and Sudan negotiating over Christian woman sentenced to death for leaving Islam
“There are talks going on currently between Sudanese and American officials to try to find a way for Mariam and her family to leave the country.” Maybe Sudanese officials will settle for a bit of jizya in lieu of her head. The honor of Islam would thereby be preserved, even if she were released. “U.S. […]
Sudanese Christian freed, “safe and well” in US Embassy
One would hope that even in this age of Obama, Meriam Ibrahim can safely get out of Sudan now that she is in the US Embassy. Still, free people and those who oppose Sharia can breathe easy only when she is out of the country. “Sudanese woman Meriam Ibrahim ‘safe and well’ in US embassy,” […]
Sudanese Christian just released from prison rearrested with husband at airport
Meriam Yahya Ibrahim is accused of apostasy because her father was a Muslim, and so she is a Muslim. Her profession of Christianity makes her an apostate, and under Islamic law apostasy is punishable by death. She is an adulteress because Islamic law forbids Muslim women to marry non-Muslim men. Thus both of the charges […]
Sudanese woman condemned to death for leaving Islam walks free from prison
“Tony Blair called the case a ‘brutal and sickening distortion of faith.” In reality, the Sudanese authorities were acting in accord with classic principles of Islamic law. Muhammad commanded: “Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him” (Bukhari 9.84.57). Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, the most renowned and prominent Muslim cleric in the world, has stated: “The […]
Sudanese court orders release of woman sentenced to death for leaving Islam
In light of the fact that Abdullahi Alazreg said that she would be freed several weeks ago, and then that statement was retracted, this ruling is just empty verbiage unless Meriam Yahya Ibrahim is actually freed. Nevertheless, it does show that international pressure can work even against Sharia supremacists. “Sudanese court orders release of woman […]
