The parents were coached how to appear to the media after the story broke. The threats were real and in keeping with the Koran. Rifqa could easily have been another Amina and Sarah.
regardless of whether that is true or not, there is VERY little evidence that they were Sharia law abiding Muslims preceding this entire ordeal. You don’t think it’s funky that these “fundamentalist Muslims” allowed their daughter to be a cheerleader? Why isn’t she wearing a hijab if they’re “so extreme.” ?
And there are more questions like that I have.
So was Rifqa.
