ICC Note:

The case of Meriam Yahia Ibrahim, a 27-year-old mother of two and wife to an American citizen, is only the “tip of the iceberg” with regard to persecution of Christians under radical Islam. Whether subjected to the mandates of Sharia law, physically armed by armed Islamists, or barred from spreading the gospel under “anti-forced conversion” and “blasphemy” laws, Christians throughout the Islamic world are repressed, oppressed and persecuted for their faith.

06/15/2014 Sudan (CBN) – 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.

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.
