MEANDWARF Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 (CNN) -- Meriam Yehya Ibrahim faces a death sentence in Sudan for apostasy after a court ruled she converted from Islam. Now the 27-year-old Christian woman, a wife and mother expecting another child, embarks on a long and unpredictable legal journey. A variety of factors -- Sudan's legal system, differences between its constitution and Sharia law imposed by the sentencing judge, her pregnancy -- ensure there will no execution any time soon. Ibrahim's lawyer argues the sentence should not stand, and an international outcry could pressure Sudan's government to intervene. Even if the sentence stands, Sharia law as practiced in Sudan prohibits carrying out the death sentence on an expectant woman until two years after she gives birth.

The Sisko Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 I wouldn't hold my breath waiting if I were you. *Sigh* I think the best way out of this for her would be for the hubby to suddenly "see the light" of Islam and convert. Once she's free they could then get out of that hellhole (asylum would probably be a snap) and get on with their lives as they were before all this.

Predicto Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Being tolerant of Islam. Oh for chrissakes. The story came out yesterday, and you clowns are jumping to get in your shots in at your preferred targets. Those damn feminists, so hypocritical. Its like when a black guy commits a murder and 15 seconds later conservative start yelling "Where's Al Sharpton!?!?!?!?!?" Pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RansomthePasserby Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Because I've grown up in Europe/America, I can't even comprehend how stuff like this is possible. I know it happens, but it just doesn't compute in my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it happens, but it just doesn't compute in my mind. Sure you can. Go grab a history book that covers European history. Go back 500-800 years. Read. That's essentially where most of the Muslim world is right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing none of us would. It makes zero sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And huge chucks of the southern part of this country today, that I'm sure would quickly revert to such caveman tendencies if we didn't have the structure in place that we do.

Do we wanna compare some ass backwards whack jobs in a free society with entire countries and governments with real power where this stuff is practiced?

I see your point but bass ackward people are the same regardless of where they are. Sudan just happens to have a higher concentration of them.

MEANDWARF Posted May 17, 2014 Author Share Posted May 17, 2014 #whereareamericasproudfemaleleaders? I believe a delegation of Imons from the U.S. may have more influence. But they may be fighting a uphill battle considering Sudan seem to isolate themselves from the rest of the world. Oh for chrissakes. The story came out yesterday, and you clowns are jumping to get in your shots in at your preferred targets. Those damn feminists, so hypocritical. Its like when a black guy commits a murder and 15 seconds later conservative start yelling "Where's Al Sharpton!?!?!?!?!?" Pathetic. You're right, the story is only 3 days old. Did not attend this to be a political thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

visionary Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/08/02/us-sudan-christian-convert-usa-idUSKBN0G202Q20140802?feedType=RSS&feedName=worldNews Sudanese woman who had faced execution for conversion arrives in U.S. A Sudanese woman who was sentenced to death for converting from Islam to Christianity, then detained after her conviction was quashed, arrived in the United States on Thursday. Mariam Yahya Ibrahim arrived in Manchester, New Hampshire, where she has relatives and where she was greeted by a crowd of people from the local Sudanese immigrant community who sang and handed her bunches of flowers. "I can't describe the feeling," said her husband, Daniel Wani, who had traveled with Ibrahim and their two children from Rome, where the couple had been recovering after Ibrahim's release by the Sudanese government. "We are so tired," Wani told reporters at Manchester airport. "The ordeal is over." Ibrahim smiled and waved to the crowd of about three dozen supporters, but she did not speak publicly. Since leaving Sudan after her sentence and detention triggered international outrage, Ibrahim had been in Rome, where she met with Pope Francis along with her husband and two children. She first touched down in the United States at Philadelphia International Airport, where she briefly met with that city's mayor, Michael Nutter.
