Sudan - Meriam Yehya Ibrahim Ishag

Abu Loren wrote: The world has gone MAD! I just wish that these people would look into her background without condemning her as acting as judge, jury and executioner. Even if she was a practicing Muslim woman there is no evidence in the Qur'an or the Sunnah that a person who leaves Islam should be killed. They rely on a 'weak' Hadith which is not enough to take the life of another human being.

Greetings Abu Loren,

Glad to know that you feel as I do.
asalaam,
CH

Sentenced to hang for apostasy.

I would like to hear what muslims here say about this.

Is it right for this woman to be killed... for her children to be deprived of their mother... for a legitimate, dedicated, devoted, husband and father, to be deprived of his wife and his children?

"Meriam Yehya Ibrahim, 27, was born to a Muslim father but was raised a Christian by her mother after he walked out on the family when she was just six years old. 

but because her father was a muslim...

She was sentenced to hang for apostasy after marrying a Christian man and is also sentenced to receive 100 lashes for adultery because the court will not recognize her marriage to a Christian man from South Sudan due to Islamic law.

The 27-year-old, who is heavily pregnant, was given three days to recant her faith but refused, after which the court in Khartoum upheld her conviction.  "

Father walked out, so why should his religion of choice, or birth, play any part, exert any right or claim over this adult child?

This woman is a physician, someone who contributes good to the community.  Her husband is a physician... also contributes good to the community.
Does it make sense for her to be killed for such reasons?
Is this islam?
If it is not islam as you know it and support it, then what must be done to change things?
Do you support such actions?
Does it make sense to support such actions?

Shukran and salaam.
