Rifqa turns 18 this August. Four more months till adult freedom. Stall, stall, stall.

But then let’s say she turns 18 and gets to legally decide her own fate... what’s to stop a fanatic from harming her anyway ? Once an apostate, always an apostate regardless of age.

I've considered that myself. I suspect she'll need security for many years if not the rest of her life.

At age 18, she should go to the nearest US Marine recruiting office and enlist...lets see her family try and mess with her after boot camp...

First, she has to be in a self-defense friendly state, trained and armed. Christians like her are generally unwilling to think about the possibility of having to take the life of another, and if she can't get past that she is in mortal danger. But her reward will be elsewhere, His will be done.
