Bolton Slams 'Barbaric' Sudanese Christian Woman Death Sentence: 'Clash of Civilizations'

On Thursday’s “On the Record with Greta van Susteren,” former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton criticized the Sudanese for sentencing a pregnant woman to death for refusing to recant her Christian faith.

“This is barbaric,” Bolton said. “No other way to describe it the crime that she is principally accused of is hypocrisy. That is say leaving Islam and refusing to come back in measure we call switching religions freedom of religion. It demonstrates the risk when sharia law is implemented to the fullest extent. This relates directly to Boko Haram in Nigeria where they focused their activities against Christian missionary activities which is a central tenet of most Christian denominations. This is a mark of the clash of civilizations.”
