Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Sudan: Christian converts from Islam arrested, tortured, forced to recant faith

Nov 7, 2018 8:16 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Sudanese officials raided a house church in South Darfur, Sudan on 13 October, arresting 13 Christians and subjected the converts from Islam in the group to a day and night of beating and torture…Ten of the Christian converts were later released after reportedly being tortured into recanting their faith.

Abuse against Christians and Jews worldwide is tolerated. There are no Christian or Jewish groups in the world that raid mosques, beat and torture congregants and disbelievers/apostates, and there should not be. Nor should Muslims be persecuting religious minorities and apostates with impunity. Discussing Islamic abuses against infidels and apostates (in the name of the Sharia) continues to be shunned in human right’ conversations globally, while merely offending Muslims is vehemently opposed.

Under Islamic sharia law, Muslims who abandon their religion face severe punishment. According to all schools of sharia, men face the death penalty.

“Christian converts from Islam arrested and tortured in Darfur, Sudan,” Barnabas Fund, November 6, 2018:

Sudanese officials raided a house church in South Darfur, Sudan on 13 October, arresting 13 Christians and subjected the converts from Islam in the group to a day and night of beating and torture.

Security agents entered a house in the city of Nyala, known as a Christian meeting place, on the morning of 13 October. They asked the group meeting there, “Are you Christians?” and arrested all 13 when they answered “yes”.

The agents released two believers with Christian backgrounds from the Nuba mountains, the oldest Christian region in Sudan, but detained eleven converts from Islam including the pastor, Tajdeen Yousif.

A Barnabas Fund contact reported, “They tortured them beating them a whole day and night and telling them you face death because you changed your religion.”

Ten of the Christian converts were later released after reportedly being tortured into recanting their faith. Pastor Tajdeen, who is also a convert from Islam but refused to deny Christ, was held for several more days and has since been released. All eleven were required to report daily to authorities, but have gone into hiding for their safety.

Under Islamic sharia law, Muslims who abandon their religion face severe punishment. According to all schools of sharia, men face the death penalty. Sudan’s constitution gives judicial discretion to courts in the application of sharia.

Sudan is one of the few countries in the world today where people have been executed for apostasy. In 1985, Mahmoud Mohammed Taha, a 76-year-old moderate Muslim political leader who had opposed the establishment of sharia by the Sudanese government, was hanged as an apostate for his views. Christian converts from Islam could potentially be executed also. In 2014, a Christian Sudanese woman was sentenced to death for apostasy. Meriam Yahya Ibrahim was raised as a Christian by her mother, but because her estranged father was a Muslim, authorities claimed she was a Muslim by birth and was therefore guilty of apostasy. An international outcry led to her eventual release…..

    (…Sudan: Christian converts from Islam arrested, tortured, forced to recant faith…)

    And pro-Islamist, spineless America just elected a number of islamists into their highest echelons of power ignoring the severe and barbaric persecusions of Christians in the islamic world and rewarding their islamist persecuters like the hijabi Somali woman just elected into the US lawmakers with the ultimate honor!

      I saw that christianblood had commented on this horrible story, and wondered how he was possibly going to spin it so that he could ignore the horrors of Jihad and the persecution of Christians and instead slam America.

      As usual, he does not “disappoint”…

        As far as I can see he is just promoting RS’s posts and not spinning anything, what he says about US voters is the same as many other commenters are saying

          BC, christianblood’s only purpose here is to slam the West. And he has said that the wants to see us conquered by Islam, and lauds Iran and Hizb’allah. It’s very troubling stuff.

      Robert Spencer deals with this madness here:

      “Robert Spencer in FrontPage: Our New Muslim Representatives”

      “https://www.jihadwatch.org/2018/11/robert-spencer-in-frontpage-our-new-muslim-representatives#comment-2011914

      Most of the people who elected these Muslims likely just thought they were being broad minded–in fact, in the case of Rashida Tlaib, most probably had no idea that she was Muslim at all.

      There is, of course, no excuse for such ignorance–but christianblood’s implication that Americans were knowingly and approvingly voting from Jihad and Shari’ia is absurd.

    Sudan: Christian converts from Islam arrested, tortured, forced to recant faith
    ………………….

    These poor people! This is sickening, but should not surprise.

    South Sudan ceded from Sudan largely because their majority-Christian population was being brutalized and literally enslaved by Sudan.

    Again, no one is forced to recant their faith. Pressured, in a number of evil ways, yes, but no one can force you. That part is only up to you. Example: All the Christian martyrs who died in the Coliseum at Rome. (Many examples abound.) Did they suffer? Were they persecuted? Were they tortured? Yes. Did they recant their faith? No. That is how many a martyr is made.

    Not only does Jesus tell us this in Matthew 10; 32-33, and expect us to do it, but He gives us the power to carry it out. For any who doubt, I highly recommend reading books about early Christian persecution. A good place to start is Foxe’s Book of Martyrs (get the updated edition).
    This is not a topic to remain ignorant of, especially these days.

    May the Lord be with you!

    Well, THIS IS ISLAM. Crimes against humanity are allowed. It is a wonder that such system is tolerable by the West.

    “All the Christian martyrs who died in the Coliseum at Rome. (Many examples abound.)”

    In Egypt martyrs are produced for over 1400 years and continue to THIS VERY DAY. It has been said, that if the martyrs of Egypt put on one side of a scale and the rest of the world on the other the one with the Egyptians would tilt in favor of them.
