Sudanese Woman Freed After Death Sentence!


Sudanese woman beats a deadly rap.

Sudan is in a state of civil war. There's apparently a woman who was going to be sentenced to death after she tried a dose of Christianity in a staunchly conservative Sunni nation.

She managed to beat a serious rap. Some consider nations will sentence individuals to death if they commit any form of religious blasphemy.

According to CNN, Meriam Ibrahim was released after Sudanese court ruled that her sentence was invalid.

"I am a Christian," Meriam Yehya Ibrahim told the judge at her sentencing hearing in May, "and I will remain a Christian."

An appeals court in Sudan ruled that a lower court's judgment against the 27-year-old was faulty, her lawyer, Mohaned Mustafa El-Nour, said Monday. He declined to elaborate.

An international controversy erupted over Ibraham's conviction in May by a Sudanese court on charges of apostasy, or the renunciation of faith, and adultery. Ibrahim was eight months pregnant when was sentenced to suffer 100 lashes and then be hanged.

"I'm so frustrated. I don't know what to do," her husband, Daniel Wani told CNN in May. "I'm just praying." Wani, uses a wheelchair and "totally depends on her for all details of his life," Ibrahim's lawyer said.

Ibrahim was reunited with her husband after getting out of custody, her lawyer said Monday.

Ibrahim gave birth to a girl in a prison last month, two weeks after she was sentenced. She was in the women's prison with her 20-month-old son, but Sudanese officials said the toddler was free to leave at any time, according to her lawyer.

The criminal complaint filed by a brother, a Muslim, said her family was shocked to find out Ibrahim had married a Christian, U.S. citizen Daniel Wani, after she was missing for several years, according to her lawyer. A Muslim woman's marriage to a Christian man is not considered legal in Sudan, thus the adultery charge.

The apostasy charge came because Ibrahim proclaimed herself to be Christian, not Muslim. Her mother, an Ethiopian Orthodox, was abandoned by her Sudanese Muslim father when Ibrahim was just 6 and she was raised as a Christian, she said.

Sudanese Parliament speaker Fatih Izz Al-Deen defended the conviction last month, insisting that claims that Ibrahim was raised as non-Muslim are untrue. She was raised in an Islamic environment, Al-Deen said.

The lower court had warned Ibrahim to renounce her Christianity by May 15, but she held firm to her beliefs while her lawyer appealed the conviction and sentence.

Her sentence had drawn international condemnation from rights groups and foreign embassies in Khartoum, including those of the United States, United Kingdom and Canada.

Limbaugh Piss Parade On #BringBackOurGirls!

The big asshole on the racist right is obsessed like his Republican brethren on Benghazi. He and the racist right can't stand the president and the first lady. No matter what they do, he'll piss parade on it.

The conservative agitator pissed that First Lady Michelle Obama sent a tweet and expressing her outrage to Boko Haram's callous kidnapping of young schoolgirls.

The First Lady went to Twitter.




The terrorist group massacred school teachers and the kidnapped young girls.

The leader is promising that these young girls will be sold into sex slavery.

Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan has ordered the Nigerian military to go after the extremists. He also applaud the U.S., Britain and Franch intelligence authorities for getting involved.

The racist right is all upset over the selfie by the First Lady's posting on the social networks.

Well lets first start with this conservative asshole.
That asshole said that the low-information universe -- will say, "Oh, Mrs. Obama! At least they care, and at least they're trying to do something."
He went to radio last week to declare that it was pathetic for people to use the hastag .

I can't believe this. We are one of the few people talking about the 300 or more Nigerian girls kidnapped by Boko Haram, which, when I hear that name I think of A Whiter Shade of Pale, Procol Harum.  That's not who it is. This is a terrorist bunch. Hillary's State Department refused to designate them a terrorist bunch.

From The Daily Beast: "Hillary’s State Department Refused to Brand Boko Haram as Terrorists -- Under Hillary Clinton, the State Department repeatedly declined to fully go after the terror group responsible for kidnapping hundreds of girls." And that means they are what?  They're African.  They're black.  It's a strange article to see in The Daily Beast. You think maybe The Daily Caller or Breitbart, but this is in The Daily Beast.

On the activism of First Lady Michelle Obama.

Like the guy at Mozilla, Condi Rice at Rutgers, things like that, and it's all made possible by [President Barack and First Lady Michelle] Obama. Every bit of it. And he cites a specific -- it's all emanating from universities, and he cites a specific compromise ruling at a specific university involving Title IX that sent the signal to every university in the country that they are free to engage in this fascistic behavior. So that's coming up, too.

But this picture is of the first lady. It's about what Boko Haram did, and it is a plea to try to get the kidnapped girls returned.  This is Mrs. Obama in the diplomatic reception room in the White House. I've been there many times. It's one of those popular entrances used for diplomats, guests, friends, and so forth. 

You go through the diplomatic reception room, take a left, and there's the elevator to the residence.  It's real close there. It's where Obama comes out and gets in the helicopter, all the presidents do.  That's the diplomatic reception room, most cases. That's where the picture is taken, looks like. 

I just think this is pathetic. I'm just stunned. We got 300 Nigerian girls kidnapped by an Al-Qaeda group, and nobody cared or talked about it for a while. Hillary wouldn't call 'em a terror group. 

Now, all of a sudden, for some reason, we're on a big push to get 'em back and this is how...? Well, you can't read the writing. It's a plea for people on Twitter to get in gear and bring the girls back.  It's #BringBackOurGirls.

 Apparently there's a Twitter... What do you call 'em, handle?  It's the number sign
"BringBackOurGirls." It's a hashtag, okay.

Anyway, there's Mrs. Obama looking sad and grim, and the sad thing here is that the low-information crowd that's puddling around out there on Twitter is gonna think we're actually doing something about it. 

Is that not pathetic?  What the hell message does that send? Imagine if bin Laden were still alive. Imagine Ayman al-Zawahiri. Can you imagine? They're laughing at this over in the huts and so forth wherever they are.  It is just unbelievable.  #BringBackOurGirls. They're Nigerian, unless there's something that we don't know.

But are we really this powerless?  The correct way to look at this is the audience that will see it -- the Twitter, low-information universe -- will say, "Oh, Mrs. Obama! At least they care, and at least they're trying to do something."  If somebody -- sadly, unfortunately -- had a family member kidnapped, this is might be what they would do, right?



National Screwview went to task. This glorified b----, Christine Sisto wrote that [everyone] can breathe a sigh of relief. Our girls will be returned because Michelle Obama has tweeted a picture of herself looking sad and holding a sign.

This b---- added, how does the United States react to this terrible neglect of human rights, brought about by a group that is evil personified?
Christine Sisto
National Screwview writer Christine Soto claims that First Lady Michelle Obama's activism is pathetic.
“Holding up a sign that says something profound while looking solemn” is a popular trend in the Twitter-verse, especially on websites like The Huffington Post and BuzzFeed that specialize in “Click here!” journalism. The content tends to be short, often written in a “listicle” format. It features some kind of schmaltzy human-interest story or liberal political message, and the headlines often claim that the content of the article is “hauntingly beautiful” or “powerful” or will “take your breath away” or “make your day.”

If [First Lady] Michelle Obama had held up that sign and then scheduled a trip to Nigeria, or spoken to the families of the kidnapped students, or met with President [Goodluck] Jonathan, urging him to take action, or donated some of her personal money to a Nigerian non-profit,  her gesture might have been credible.

Okay, b----!

As you probably Google yourself to find out who's talking shit about you, listen here!

Here's what you and your racist right friends would do next!

You will say that First Lady Michelle Obama (by the way) would spend taxpayer money to travel over to Nigeria to say a speech about nothing. You would say that she would take vacations.

You can't be satisfied!

You and that asshole on radio are so fucking lucky. You live in country that gives you the freedom to piss parade on every attempt to do something good. Just like your , the American people feel very concerned about these young girls.

The world has condemn this horrible event. I know you and that conservative asshole do have some sympathy towards this event. But to turn every freaking thing like this into politics, you people are pathetic.

Pope Francis even went to the social networks to show solidarity.




Are you going to complain about Pope Francis jumping into the campaign?

The Republican Party and its allies of the racist right have created so many controversies, President Barack Obama's allies can't stop them all at once.

Republicans aren't capable of fixing the economic turmoils. Although the Republicans do share at least some of the sympathy for this event, they really have no compassion for these young girls.

This is a part of the ongoing culture war that continues to tear the party and America apart. No longer I will sit here and watch this stuff continue.

As long as I am alive, I hope the best for those young girls. They didn't deserve this type of fate.

I will continue to stand independent of the situation and offer my honest opinion of issues that matter.

Nigeria To Global Powers: Save Our Young Girls!

Nigerian authorities and the Western authorities are trying to find missing schoolgirls kidnapped by extremists.

The United States intelligence is working with Nigerian authorities to rescue schoolgirls who were kidnapped by the Boko Haram militants. This militant far right group are lslamic extremists. They're threatening to sell the young women into sex slavery (forced marriages).

276 female students were kidnapped from the Government Secondary School in the town of Chibok in Borno State, Nigeria. The kidnappings were claimed by Boko Haram, an Islamic Jihadist and Takfiri terrorist organisation based in northeast Nigeria.

The Government Girls Secondary School in Chibok, Nigeria. They broke into the school, shooting the guards.

A large number of students were taken away in trucks, possibly into the Sambisa Forest. Houses in Chibok were also burnt down in the incident.

The school had been closed for four weeks prior to the attack due to the deteriorating security situation, but students from multiple schools had been called in to take final exams in physics.

Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau claimed responsibility for the kidnappings emerged. On the video, he claimed "God instructed me to sell them ... I will carry out his instructions."

He said the girls should not have been in the school and instead have gotten married. It was unclear if the video was made before or after reports emerged that some of the victims had been sold.

What a heartless bastard. I hope the Nigerian government get a hold of those responsible. I hope that justice is swift and quick.
Abubakar Shekau (center) is placed on the United States most wanted terrorists list.
This is the stuff you hardly hear about on Loserville. This started get major attention after Human Rights Watch made note of the media blackout over this.

Instead of talking about Benghazi, how about Republicans talk about sex slavery and human trafficking.

Nigeria's president Goodluck Jonathan popularity is waning after this event. Many families are frustrated with the lack of response from law enforcement.

Interpol, the FBI, the CIA and British intelligence are working diligently to save the women from death.

We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences and prayers to those affected by this horrible tragedy.
