The religion of peace strikes again.

A Sudanese court has sentenced a woman to hang for apostasy after she left Islam and married a Christian man.

"We gave you three days to recant but you insist on not returning to Islam. I sentence you to be hanged to death," the judge told the woman, AFP reports.

Western embassies and rights groups had urged Sudan to respect the right of the pregnant woman to choose her religion.

Local media report the sentence would not be carried out for two years after she has given birth.

Sudan has a majority Muslim population, which is governed by Islamic law.

The judge also sentenced her to 100 lashes after convicting her of adultery - because her marriage to a Christian man was not valid under Islamic law.

Earlier in the hearing, an Islamic cleric spoke with her in a caged dock for about 30 minutes, AFP reports.

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

Amnesty International said the woman, Meriam Yehya Ibrahim Ishag, was raised as an Orthodox Christian, her mother's religion, because her father, a Muslim, was reportedly absent during her childhood.

In court, the judge addressed her by her Muslim name, Adraf Al-Hadi Mohammed Abdullah.

She was convicted of adultery on the grounds that her marriage to a Christian man from South Sudan was void under Islamic law, as practised in Sudan, Amnesty said.

She was arrested and charged with adultery in August 2013 and the court added the charge of apostasy in February 2014 when she said she was a Christian and not a Muslim, the group said.

Amnesty said she should be released immediately.

She is said to be eight months' pregnant.

If there was a militant atheist faction operating in the area they could intervene. Traffic her to a country of safety. Leaving one religion is a good sign for leaving two.

But... she didn't leave her initial religion in the first place.

Go tell that to a bunch of moronified fanatics... the father is moslem, the mother is therefore assumed to have converted, therefore she is muslim, period, and marrying a christian is apostasy QED.

I doubt they'll listen to anything I, or even most westerners have to say on the matter. Infidels, you know.

Barbarian scum.

[Xamonas Chegwé]

The religion of hate. The religion of Al Qaeda. The religion of Boko Haram. The religion of the Taliban. The religion of a 6th-century, power-hungry, pædophile warlord with classic narcissistic personality disorder.

Fuck them all.

[Xamonas Chegwé]

Oh, and the religion of putting women in bags.
