MidnightWatcher – Prophecy in Motion

“Evidence has again emerged indicting that if Western mainstream media actually reported more on the sufferings of Christians throughout the Islamic world, their lot would likely improve.” Unfortunately, the world continues to do all it can to appease, accomodate and assist the Mother of Harlots …

Revelation 18:3a, “For all the nations have drunk the maddening wine of her adulteries …”

By Raymond Ibrahim, CBN News – “Evidence has again emerged indicting that if Western mainstream media actually reported more on the sufferings of Christians throughout the Islamic world, their lot would likely improve.

Meriam Ibrahim, a woman who is imprisoned in Sudan and sentenced to death on the charge that she apostatized from Islam and converted to Christianity — and who recently gave birth to a baby girl in prison — was reportedly going to ‘be freed in a few days,’ according to a BBC report:

Abdullahi Alzareg, an under-secretary at the foreign ministry, said Sudan guaranteed religious freedom and was committed to protecting the woman.

Khartoum has been facing international condemnation over the death sentence.

In an interview with The Times newspaper, British Prime Minister David Cameron described the ruling as “barbaric” and out of step with today’s world (emphasis added).

Of course, soon after the BBC reported that Ibrahim would be freed, other reports appeared indicating that that is only a rumor — one that the BBC, which regularly tries to minimize the specter of Muslim persecution of Christians, jumped on — that Sudan was merely trying to save face before the international community.

According to the imprisoned Christian woman’s husband: ‘No Sudanese or foreign mediator contacted me. Maybe there are contacts between the Sudanese government and foreign sides that I’m not aware of.’

At any rate, why did Sudan say Ibrahim was going to be released? After all and despite what Sudan’s under-secretary says — that ‘Sudan guaranteed religious freedom and was committed to protecting the woman’ — Khartoum’s Islamist government upholds Islam’s apostasy law, which actually guarantees that born Muslims do not have ‘religious freedom.’

As just one example, back in June 2012 in Sudan, a Muslim woman divorced her husband after he converted to Christianity. The court automatically granted her custody of their two sons (according to Islamic law, children of divorced parents are to remain with the father, but if the latter is an apostate, they go to the mother). When the father tried to visit his children, his ex-wife threatened to notify authorities. ‘They might take the case to a prosecution court, which might lead to my sentencing to death according to Islamic apostasy law — but I am ready for this,’ the Christian man had said. ‘I want the world to know this. What crime have I done?’

And that’s the whole difference: ‘the world’ did not ‘know this,’ whereas the major media did report on Ibrahim’s plight, thereby exposing Sudan to international condemnation.

Precedents of this phenomenon — international outrage prompting Islamist governments to rethink their abuse of Christians — have occurred in other Muslim countries.” Read more.

Meriam Ibrahim’s Brother: She ‘Should Be Executed’ If She Refuses To Abandon Christianity – “Meriam Ibrahim, the woman sentenced to death in Sudan for apostasy, was ‘given a magic potion’ to bewitch her into leaving Islam – and should be executed for doing so, her brother has said. Al Samani Al Hadi Mohamed Abdullah said that he denounced his sister to the authorities because his family are ‘Muslim people.’ … ‘It’s one of two; if she repents and returns to our Islamic faith and to the embrace of our family, then we are her family and she is ours,’ he said. ‘But if she refuses she should be executed,’ he told CNN.” Read more.
