A young Christian woman has been sentenced by a court in Sudan to 20 lashes and a fine for "indecent dress," her lawyer said. Her crime? Wearing trousers.

Fardos Al-Toum, age 19, was one of 10 young women students arrested outside a church in Khartoum on June 25 for wearing jeans and long shirts, according to the group's lawyer, Muhamad Mustafa.

When Al-Toum showed up to court to answer the charge, the judge said the clothing she was wearing then was also indecent and sentenced her to an additional fine, plus 20 lashes, the lawyer said.

The vast majority in Sudan are Muslim, with Christians making up only about 3% of the population, the rights group said.

It’s not the first time the treatment of Christians in Sudan has sparked international controversy.

Last year, Mariam Yehya Ibrahim was sentenced to death in Sudan for refusing to renounce her Christian faith, after she was found guilty of charges pf apostasy, or leaving Islam and converting to Christianity, and adultery.

It makes me so angry we are the only superpower in the world, and we refuse to simply inform the Sudanese govt in a meaningful way that they can understand, they had better not even think of carrying out that sentence.

...Miriam Ibrahim sentenced to death because she was christian.

“If the world hates you, you know that it has hated Me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, because of this the world hates you. Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A slave is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you; if they kept My word, they will keep yours also. But all these things they will do to you for My name’s sake, because they do not know the One who sent Me. If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin. He who hates Me hates My Father also. If I had not done among them the works which no one else did, they would not have sin; but now they have both seen and hated Me and My Father as well. But they have done this to fulfill the word that is written in their Law, ‘They hated Me without a cause.’ “ (John 15: 18-25

Conservatives should be spreading this story around to the libs who wish to import these people into the U.S. Explain to the libs that this kind of stuff goes on under Sharia law all the time.
