[quote]A Sudanese court has sentenced a woman to hang for apostasy - the abandonment of her religious faith - after she married a Christian man.
Amnesty International condemned the sentence, handed down by a judge in Khartoum, as "appalling and abhorrent".
Local media report the sentence on the woman, who is pregnant, would not be carried out for two years after she had given birth.
Sudan has a majority Muslim population, which is governed by Islamic law.
"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.
The judge also sentenced the woman to 100 lashes after convicting her of adultery - because her marriage to a Christian man was not valid under Islamic law.
This will reportedly be carried out when she has recovered from giving birth.
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."[/quote]

Edited by MattallicA09lol: 5/15/2014 10:54:27 PMIslam literally disgusts me. Not just because of what happens in 3rd world countries. That would happen with any religion or even atheism because they a 3rd world countries. But because everything about it. I disagree with most religions, but Islam particularly grinds my gears. Not that I hate Muslims or something. Just their religion.

Just a few things here, no country in the world follows Islamic law 100 percent. Not a single one, if you think that Africa the most ass backwards place in the world actually follows the teachings of Islam correctly then please come off the cloud you've been living on. Just a little bit of history of how this whole apostasy thing started. When Muhammad was in Medina it was his army that did all the fighting, and his army was responsible for protecting Medina including all of her citizens whether they be Muslim, Jew or Christian. There were a lot of trouble makers from the Jewish clans who would pretend to accept Islam and leave, and then come back and leave, doing it as a joke. They would try to convince the newly converted Muslims who were soldiers in the army to leave Islam. Since they were part of the army, they knew the battle tactics, and could tell the enemies where the Muslims are camping. Muhammad always had to be on alert from a Meccan attack. If the people who kept coming to and leaving Islam go side with the enemy than this is treason since they had an agreement with Muhammad that everyone no matter what you follow has the responsibility of protecting the city of Medina. Also the Jews who kept trying to convince new Muslims to leave were trying to cause destabilization in the region, Muhammad couldn't afford to worry about outside attacks, and deal with issues in the city. A city he has sword to protect so to avoid this the rule was made that whoever does this will be put to death. So what if there is no war and you're just converting? This is fine since the Quran says there is no compuilsion in religion but if you live in a Muslim country you're not allowed to propogate your faith. Do you think Sudan knows why the rule of apostasy was put in place? I don't think so. You can convert as a personal choice. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fU5rTpLDuq0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wp9K3qlcE4I Just some small videos on the subject.
