Female Saudi convert to Christianity leaves Lebanon to Turkey



Female Saudi convert to Christianity leaves Lebanon to Turkey.(AA).A 28-year-old woman believed to be a Saudi citizen, who made headlines escaping to Lebanon after converting to Christianity, has now left for Turkey, UAE daily Gulf news reported on Monday. “The Lebanese government has informed the Saudi embassy in Beirut that the girl has left the country for Turkey,” Awadh Aseeri, the Saudi ambassador, said. “The Lebanese authorities said that they were not sure whether the woman would settle in Turkey or would move on to another country,” the Saudi daily Al Sharq. She had allegedly been living in Beirut with assistance from a Saudi national and a Lebanese national. Her case became known, when her father filed a lawsuit against the two men for what he claimed was their role in influencing her and in helping her leave Saudi Arabia without his knowledge.According to Gulfnews, the Saudi envoy said the family had tried to convince the woman to return home amid assurances that she would be safe. Aseer added that were was no evidence indicating that she had converted to Christianity. Reports that she had been living in a church in Beirut were quickly dismissed by local Christian groups. Mariam appeared in video on youtube religious channel called jesussetmefreet talking about how god showed her that Christianity is the right religion in her dreams. She says” I have asked god to show me the truth in my dreams and within a week god showed me that Jesus is his son , if you are uncertain about your religion, if you feel lost, ask god to guide you and he will”
The above video shows Mariam talking to guy who was also Muslim and converted to Christianity. The video is in Arabic with no English subtitles.If Mariam brought back by the Saudi government, she will be charged for apostasy, and she will be given 3 chances to return to Islam, if she didn’t she will face death plenty, in other term ” beheading”.Saudi Arabia adheres to a strict interpretation of Sharia law where committing "Ridda" (the religious term for when Muslims denounce Islam or convert to other religions) can be subjected to the death penalty.Hmmmm....A pity the Obama Admin report on 'religious freedom' missed this.Read the full story here.
