AMAL FARAH: I RENOUNCED ISLAM, FAMILY THINKS I SHOULD DIE…….

 

No dissent in Islam.

The black shirts of Islam, street vigilantes, the core of which, is comprised of the intended victim’s own family members.

I renounced Islam, so my family think I should die

Apostasy is not just something that scandalises people in far off lands. Harriet Alexander hears the story of a British woman whose life was turned upside down when she left Islam – echoing the plight of Meriam Ibrahim, who awaits a death sentence in Sudan for the same “crime”

If Amal Farah were not living in Britain, she believes she might well be dead.

For the 33-year-old financial manager had carried out an act so heinous, her family felt she deserved to die.

Her crime? She had renounced her Islamic faith – “and within my community, that’s a capital offence,” she said. “They believe you deserve to die.”

Mrs Farah, who was born in the Somali capital, Mogadishu, but now lives in Britain, has never told her story before.

She was too afraid; told that, even in the UK, it was safer for her to keep a low profile.

But when earlier this month the case of Meriam Ibrahim came to light – an eight-month pregnant Sudanese woman, sentenced to death for refusing to renounce her Christian faith – Mrs Farah felt she had to speak out. “I had to do something,” she said. “I am so fortunate to be here, and I am in a position to be able to shout and scream and say this is wrong.” Her voice quavering, fighting back tears, she said: “I read her story and thought: ‘That could so easily have been me.’”

Meriam Ibrahim with her husband Daniel Wani Ms Ibrahim currently awaits her fate in a cell in Khartoum, shackled by the ankles, having refused an offer from a judge to renounce her Christianity. She also faces 100 lashes for “adultery” – the court does not recognise her marriage to a Christian man, Daniel Wani, who has American citizenship.
