Meriam Ibrahim sentenced to lashing and death in Sudan for being a Christian… #Christianity #MeriamIbrahim #Sudan #JohnKerry

So where is Meriam Ibrahim's hashtag?
I did a Separated at Birth over this matter, but its own separate post is warranted. Meriam Ibrahim's case warrants the international community rising up and saying no, yet our State Department is doing nothing. Her husband is an American citizen. She is sentenced to death over her faith (because she was raised Christian even though her father was a Muslim). This is an outrage. Under Sudan's theory*, Barack Obama is guilty of apostasy too (like Meriam Ibrahim, his father was a Muslim). Perhaps President Obama and Michelle can address that.  

As Breitbart notes:
Ibrahim, a physician who graduated from the University of Khartoum Medical School, refused to renounce her Christian faith. The Islamist Khartoum regime claims that Ibrahim is a Muslim because her father, who abandoned the family when she was six years old, was a Muslim. Ibrahim, however, embraced for herself the faith of her Ethiopian Orthodox Christian mother…

According to Morning Star News, “Ibrahim’s nightmare has included denial of bail, insufficient medical care for both her and her unborn child, beatings in prison, and a U.S. Embassy that has offered little help.”
Ace and Allahpundit are right, where is Meriam Ibrahim's hashtag?  

* The judge's ruling is correct under Sharia. This reminds me of that story about the British General Charles Napier's reaction to Indians burning widows alive:
"Be it so. This burning of widows is your custom; prepare the funeral pile. But my nation has also a custom. When men burn women alive we hang them, and confiscate all their property. My carpenters shall therefore erect gibbets on which to hang all concerned when the widow is consumed. Let us all act according to national customs."

Update:
This is not an isolated case. It is common in the Muslim world.

  1. I like to think that they've decided to keep their mouths shut and put some behind-the-scenes pressure on whoever the fuck runs that shithole.

    Call me a dreamer.

  2. The apostasy issue is why Boko Harem converted their captured girls to Islam. Now, if they girls ever try to go back to their normal lives (if they even get out alive); any muslim by their belief will have reason to kill the woman without any other regards. But as you say, Barack Obama is technically guilty of apostasy, yet rather get out in front of the issue, he'll take the easy route by hoping his media supporters will keep this story out of the view of moral democratic voters. They exist, but they are sorely ill informed.

  3. I would just like to point out that I am a Christian and a very vocal critic of Islam and no one has locked me up, threatened me with death, or otherwise tried to deprive me of constitutional or civil rights. That's because I don't visit places where things like that happen. If I did visit such a place, I certainly wouldn't then cry about what happened to me afterwards. Only in America can blacks go to a "Whites Only" lunch counter and expect to overturn the system. Only in America does Rosa Parks not get beaten to death.
