Katherine Lackey - A court sentenced a pregnant, Christian Sudanese woman to death by hanging Thursday after she refused to renounce her faith, a decision Amnesty International called "abhorrent."

Meriam Ibrahim, 27, was convicted on charges of "apostasy" — the crime of abandoning or renouncing a religion. The court also ordered Ibrahim — who married a Christian man in 2011 and is eight months pregnant — to receive 100 lashes for "adultery" because her marriage is considered void under sharia law. The couple has a child, a 20-month-old boy, who is currently in detention with her.

"The fact that a woman has been sentenced to death for her religious choice, and to flogging for being married to a man of an allegedly different religion is appalling and abhorrent," Manar Idriss, Amnesty International's Sudan researcher, said in a statement. "Adultery and apostasy are acts which should not be considered crimes at all. It is flagrant breach of international human rights law."

Court officials gave Ibrahim three days to recant Christianity and return to Islam. When the deadline expired Thursday, Ibrahim told religious clerics in court in the capital of Khartoum, "I am Christian," NBC News reported.Ibrahim's lawyer said the verdict will be appealed within 15 days, CNN reported.

Amnesty International says Ibrahim was raised as an Orthodox Christian, her mother's religion, because her Muslim father was absent during much of her childhood.

However, the court considers Ibrahim to be Muslim. In Sudan, Muslim women are prohibited from marrying non-Muslims, though Muslim men can marry outside their faith. Children must follow their father's religion.

The embassies of the United States, United Kingdom, Canada and the Netherlands in Khartoum released a statement expressing deep concern over the ruling.

"We call upon the government of Sudan to respect the right to freedom of religion, including one's right to change one's faith or beliefs, a right which is enshrined in international human rights law as well as in Sudan's own 2005 Interim Constitution," the statement said.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

We should pray for this sister in the faith who may be slain for the holy cause of Christ and His glory.

What strikes me at this news report is that these news medias, embassies, etc, are selective in their investigations of any relevant situation. We got brothers and sisters being tortured, martyred, persecuted everyday all over the world. They are selective in their hearts, it is detestable before my own sight.

The religion of peace strikes again. This is just one person which media has jumped on, there are many others who suffer the same fate for just being a Christian in Muslim regions.

I bet you if the law of putting apostates to death was removed, so many people would leave Islam. The only thing holding that cult together is fear,force, and violence.

I remember earlier you referred to Muslims as primitive cavemen so I don't expect you to have anything good to say. :)

People leaving Islam, the facts seem to suggest the opposite. Many westerners are reverting to Islam, despite all the bad press. Imagine what would happen if the actions of a few criminals and corrupt leaders were not applied to the rest of us 1.6 billion.

Drett, You know that you are in the wrong which is why you throw this hand grande into the thread and run away, but just in the off chance you change you mind I will remind you, yet again,that you fail to take into account that in "The West" we are on whole a democracy where people can pick and choose what they want to be and how they want to live without fear of prosecution from the law.

I am sure you perfectly well know that in Islamic states people are not offered this freedom. A Muslim who becomes a Christian in many parts of the world, such as Pakistan is basically giving themselves a death sentence, be it at the hands of angry mobs or the local authorities such as the local Imam

The correct path is not a numbers game, If you saw thousands of people walking off the edge of a cliff would you join them? Or would you follow the half dozen who decide to crawl through mud and brambles to get to other side? So what if people are turning to Islam, that is their choice, if they want to go their way in following an evil religion created by satan, then that is their choice, at least they have a choice to pick and choose. Jesus is the only way for humans to gain entry into Heaven.

Islam is evil that will be destroyed along with all the other false religions when Christ returns.

[h=1]I believe Islam is only a puppet, Globalist is behind Islam and use islam to smooth out his agenda.
All they want is one world government. If you want to build a giant building in the settlement area, you have to level all the houses first.

It is happen if you want to build one world government where countries is established. You have to weaken every country by war, terrorist etc.

for example, in Indonesia, 20 year ago I hardly meet a muslim wearing hijab. Now every where both in the city or country side. Current level of nation education increased many professors say it should make people more moderate but on the contrary more fanatics.

Eric Jon Phelps said according to his research on Indonesian Islamic bigotry funded by Globalist


Arrest of CIA's Davis in Pak Confirms Illuminati Behind Terror[/h][h=1]He Weighs 190 Benches 450 (VolcaNO)

[/h]March 2, 2011
This story is being downplayed because it rips the mask from the US government's face. Our "defenders" are also the terrorists. Davis was working with the same terror groups Western forces are supposed to be fighting


by David Richards
(for henrymakow.com)


The 'war on terror' is a con and in reality the Illuminati play the role of both terrorists and defenders in a dialectic to advance their NWO agenda. The CIA and most intelligence agencies serve the Illuminati bankers, not the countries that fund them.

The recent arrest of CIA agent Raymond Davis in Pakistan reveals that Davis was working with with terrorist groups.

COLD BLOODED MURDERER

Last month, Davis was driving through the busy streets of Lahore when two young Pakistani men on motorbikes drove past him. He opened fire on the men, shooting them in the back through his windscreen. He then got out of his vehicle, walked over to the injured cyclists and pumped five bullets into each man.

Knowing he was in trouble, Davis phoned for reinforcements but by the time they arrived, outraged local Pakistanis blocked his escape and secured his arrest.

At the police station, Davis claimed he was being robbed and had acted in self-defense. However, Pakistani police searched his car and found a make-up kit, long-range radio, a GPRS system and a cell phones containing photographs of sensitive target locations. He's a CIA agent.

Obama has claimed that Davis is an American diplomat entitled to diplomatic immunity. However, the US blundered their story from the beginning, first claiming he was an 'employee of the US Consulate General Lahore' and then later a member of the 'administrative and technical staff of the US Embassy Islamabad'.

Then Davis claimed he worked for a security firm called Hyperion LLC, under a contract with the U.S. Embassy in Pakistan. But the BBC reported that Hyperion exists only as a website, and its offices in Orlando have been vacant for several years. The numbers on its website are unlisted. i.e. it is a CIA front.

The men he killed were revealed to be ISI agents who were trying to arrest Davis. Davis gunned them down rather than surrender.

Pakistan is in a furor. The incident is viewed as the intentional and cold-blooded murders of innocent men. Davis personifies the immunity the American military has to murder Pakistani citizens at will. Outside his jail huge crowds have gathered demanding justice. They have burned effigies of him.

To further inflame public sentiment, a widow of one of the dead men committed suicide by eating rat poison. Before dying she told reporters, "I do not expect any justice from this government. That is why I want to kill myself." Her last recorded words were "I want blood for blood."

The public demand for justice is so strong that many fear the already weak Pakistani government will be torn to pieces by it's own people if they hand Davis back to the Americans.


DAVIS' MISSION

We are told we must intervene in Afghanistan and Pakistan to combat terrorists. This high profile story has the potential to smash that paradigm. Davis was working with the same terror groups Western forces are supposed to be fighting.

The Daily Telegraph reported that Davis is the 'acting head of the CIA in Pakistan'. He 'claimed one of his main tasks was to keep the CIA network intact in the tribal areas where al-Qaeda militants operate, and that he was familiar with their local languages.'

'Telephone records suggest he was in contact with Lashkar-e-Jhangvi and the Pakistan Taliban in South Waziristan.'

Lashkar-e-Jhangvi have committed a long list of horrendous crimes. In 2002, two members of the Lashkar-e-Jhangvi bombed the International Protestant Church in Islamabad during a church service, killing five people and wounding 40.

The Pakistani government have claimed that the murder of iconic Pakistani president Benazir Bhutto in 2007, along with the murder of 20 others in Rawalpindi was orchestrated by Lashkar-e-Jhangvi.

Pakistan is an Islamic nation with nuclear weapons so it is targeted for destruction and disarmament by the global power elite. Organizations like Lashkar-e-Jhangvi are designed to create chaos in Pakistan, to fracture the country into smaller, more easily manageable pieces to ease Pakistani's integration into the NWO.

It is also likely that Davis was researching targets for drone attacks. Since 2004, the US military have sent unmanned aircraft to bomb strategic locations in Pakistan. The drones increasingly are controlled by computer game whiz-kids recruited into the army.

Drones attack opponents of military operations in Afghanistan. They also attack conservative regions in Pakistan which are resistance to change.

If you search the drone target lists, one area that crops up repeatedly is South Waziristan. Wikipedia describes the social life of this region:

'The tribes are divided into sub-tribes governed by male village elders who meet in a tribal jirga. Socially and religiously, Waziristan is an extremely conservative area. Women are carefully guarded, and every household must be headed by a male figure. Tribal cohesiveness is strong through so-called Collective Responsibility Acts in the Frontier Crimes Regulation.'

The Illuminati Satanists are waging a war on Islam. The local men of South Waziristan are warriors and refuse to allow the destruction of their culture. Their leaders are assassinated and referred to in our media as 'Al-Qaeda leaders.'

CONCLUSION

Raymond Davis faces an uncertain future. The Pakistani government will not want to anger the US by trying and executing him, because Pakistan receives a $3 billion aid package annually from the US, which no doubt lines the pockets of government leaders.

However, an outraged public may make it politically unfeasible to hand Davis back to the US. The Pakistani government also has pressure from it's own secret services, the ISI, to prosecute him.

The ISI's motivation stems from recent rifts with the CIA. A recent example being the ISI's fury at the CIA implicating them in the Mumbai bombings. The Washington Post recently reported that the ISI is ready to split with the CIA.

Possibly the case will be drawn out over many months until public anger dies down and Davis can be safely escorted home.

This story is huge in Pakistan but it has been under-reported in the West because it is dangerous.

Look at photographs of Raymond Davis and you will see why. He is an all-American looking man. Understanding this story rips the mask from the US government's face. Our defenders are also funding and organizing the terrorists.

---------

Makow comment: In the Western context, false flag terror is used as a pretext by the Illuminati bankers to wage war against the general populace. They must translate their monopoly over government credit into a monopoly over everything. In other words, "terror" is an excuse to enslave us.

Mankind has been colonized by a satanic cult, the Illuminati, empowered by the central banking and associated cartels.Our "leaders" are traitors and collaborators. Selling your soul to the devil, wittingly or unwittingly, is a prerequisite for success.
