A Sudanese judge on Thursday sentenced a woman to death for converting from Islam to Christianity, despite Western appeals calling to respect freedom of religion.

"We gave you three days to recant but you insist on not returning to Islam. I sentence you to be hanged to death," Judge Abbas Mohammed al-Khalifa told the woman, addressing her by a Muslim name, Adraf Al-Hadi Mohammed Abdullah.

Her Christian name is Meriam Yahia Ibrahim Ishag.

Khalifa also sentenced her to 100 lashes for "adultery".

Ishag, who rights activists say is pregnant and 27 years old, reacted without emotion when Abbas delivered the verdict at a court in the Khartoum district of Haj Yousef.

Earlier in the hearing, an Islamic religious leader spoke with her in the caged dock for about 30 minutes.

Then she calmly told the judge: "I am a Christian and I never committed apostasy."

Still going on after thousands of years. Why does everyone insist their religion is the only "right religion" and everyone else is wrong?

Wow. Lash her and then hang her. That will teach her.

I sense trouble in your future... I bet you gonna get some attention all this

I posted an interview one time with a well known Muslim Cleric who justified hitting ones wife. It got deleted and got admin action

You are dangerously close to criticizing Islam

Perhaps the same fate will await the schoolgirls at the end of their slave days.

I would think that kinda comes with the package when one's religion assumes its God is the only God by definition.

Sad.

As a Christian though, I think it takes great courage to stand by her faith. I would do the same.

This is like pre-Roman adoption of Christianity when Christians were persecuted.

I'm not an immigration expert but my city has the second largest Somali population after Minneapolis. How do they get here? Are they on some kind of exception list I don't get it. Just curious bc it seems certain groups from various countries have a harder time to immigrate. I always joke that someone gave these Somalis the wrong map, coming to two cold States. Seems like they would want to move some place hot like Nevada or Arizona

I've made a list of things that I avoid as they are known to be harmful to a persons health:

1. Tobacco

2. Swimming with sharks

3. Unprotected sex with multiple partners

4. Intravenous drug use

3. Organized religion

But #3 is so much fun. I told someone . I am 50. If you get the Aids you got 25+ years anyway, so what the hell

After I got done being single as hell and was about to become monogamous I went to my Doc and got all the tests

He did not tell they don't give results over the phone due to Hippa

They called me and told me to come in so the doctor could explain my results .

I was negative in all but he scared me to death

[deleted-05292014 331]

I made it to 40 and did all of that except IV drug use. Diving with sharks will make organized religion more palatable to you I'm sure

Can't wait until next time I'm in Pinas. Great diving there

My point being that many people have lost their life in the name of one god or another yet the flocks still flock.

The Somali immigrants are here because of the Somali Civil war in the 90s.

I read that they are not integrating well. Some from Minnesota went back home to join the terror group al-Shabab.

Stupid question...What do Somali immigrants have to do with the original post?

The Somalis are refugees placed in certain communities by international refugee relocation organizations.
