This is really getting too old. Yes, there are some kooky judges who issue kooky rulings in many parts of the world, including in the US. Yet, it takes one crazy (horrific) case for the Western media to write those sensational generalizations. I know that the White Man receives pleas from people who claim that they are former Muslims and fearing for their lives. ANd you believe them (and many of the get asylum in the US claiming that Muslims who leave their faith are killed on the spot). It is time that you disabuse yourselves of this notion. I was on AlMayadin TV only a few months ago, and I was introduced as an atheist and no one complained: not to me nor to my family. ِِِِAnd regarding this case: " Sudan, however, is an exception. In 1985 it executed Mahmud Muhammad Taha, a 76-year-old human-rights activist and religious reformer." Taha was executed for political and not religious reasons.
