I could be wrong, but I haven't seen any allegation whatsoever to date that the court proposes to make any determination based on religious belief or affiliation of the parents. Nor would I expect this to be the case.
You are correct about the court part. My argument is against public opinion that rushes to judgment based on a disfavored religion. Just look at the comments in this forum and others since last week. People were advocating taking her out of her home (or not returning her) based on what they thought might happen based on the religion of the parents. Our laws just don't work like that and thank God they don't.
If this is a case of child abuse, why bring up Islam?
Anyway time will tell. If she was indeed abused, I agree with PapaBear3625: Emancipate her.
Thank you for your patience and your charity, John. I merely wanted my fellow Freepers to ponder the constitutional issues involved. I think it's a valid point: Christianity is under attack in this country.
While my "Whatcha gonna do when they come for you" point still stands, you have made me see this a little differently, especially the part about blaming the wayward daughter instead of the legal system or the state. I am also suspicious about the motives of that facebook church, but that is my skeptical nature. I have no proof.
I have enjoyed this conversation. It makes me wish I could just do this all day instead of only during short breaks from work. :)
