The lengthy article concludes with a Call to Action which I urge all to read.
That deal that they made “behind the scene” was a bone-headed retarded mistake. Seriously, Muslims should never be trusted because Koran permits Al-taqiyya.
Al-taqiyya is what they call lying to infidels.
The Call to Action being?
If the girl was married wouldnt all this go away someone from the church should marry the girl and in a year or two get annuled or divorce.The solution is so easy
Please contact Franklin County Children Services, and the Ohio governor’s office at the following addresses and let them know that you want Rifqa to be able to have the basic freedoms to communicate to the outside world, and that she needs to be protected from her parents & the radical Islamic community:
Franklin County children services can be reached here:

The Ohio governor’s office can be reached here:

Also, Governor Strickland is up for re-election. Here is his opponent's contact information:

The mere fact that her parents are here illegally should have been enough to let her finish out her 17th year in the relative safety of a Florida foster home.
re: They trusted Rifqa’s parents
That was probably a big mistake.
You must be 18 in Ohio to marry without parental consent. The only other way for a minor child to emancipate themselves from their parents is to join the military, which of course also requires parental consent.
Having said that, this article is alarmist nonsense, just nonsense. She's a minor child. Her parents are alleging that she's being manipulated, or undo outside pressure is being applied. So, the family court referee writes an order limiting or monitoring her communication. That's fine. She's a minor. I certainly monitored my kid's internet and phone access when they were minors.
This will all be settled in family court. Both sides - parent and child - will be heard and psychological evaluations will take place, and ultimately, whatever is best for the child will be determined and ordered. Rifqa isn't going to be murdered, and so long as there is even the slightest hint of any kind of danger, she won't be around her parents without court-ordered supervision.
She's a runaway. We don't get to ignore federal and state laws because we don't like Muslims, or because the girl has been "saved". The only thing the judge in Florida could do, is to follow the law. And, the laws relevant to runaways demand that she be returned to her home jurisdiction, where the courts will make a determination for the child's appropriate domicile.
If in fact her parents are in the US illegally, they should be deported.
If her parents are illegal aliens, as the story claims, that makes Rifqa an illegal alien or an anchor baby.
And that raises the question of if the United States should deport illegal aliens and their anchor babies?
So, you believe "anchor babies" should be permitted to stay in the United States and not be deported?
I'm not absolutely sure, but I believe she was born outside the US, ergo she's illegal. So, she clearly can be deported.
If, OTOH, she was born the US, her citizenship - via jus solis and the 14th Amendment - would be absolute. She would be "un-deportable", to coin a phrase.
I hope you don’t have to eat your words....
I do hope you are right on the other hand!
Well, there are many people here that believe that we should not only deport all illegal aliens but also “anchor babies.”
And it would appear, from this well written article, that Rifqa is either an illegal alien or an anchor baby.
I'm an Ohio attorney, from the Columbus area. I know the courts a little around here. They are hyper-sensitive to the safety of children. This child will never be around these parents without court-ordered supervision. It's just not going to happen.
Now, what happens after she turns 18, or if she is deported, is another matter altogether. If she was returned to a Muslim country, it very well may be a death sentence - which would bolster any claim of asylum she might eventually make.
And Rifqa"s father has sold his business and seems to be pulling up stakes. And according to the article, the parents are going back on a deal to just "leave her alone" in foster care for 10 months. I note a court hearing is set in Ohio for November 16.
But she'll probably be OK.
Irrespective of what people believe, children who are born here "and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside." This is long settled law, and because of stare decisis, it isn't going to change without another Constitutional amendment.
You cannot "strip" citizenship acquired via jus soli, and you cannot deport a US citizen.
re: So, you believe “anchor babies” should be permitted to stay in the United States and not be deported?
Not as a rule, but this situation is far from ordinary. As much danger as she’s in to be killed in an honor killing she would be in even more danger back in a Muslim country.
IMHO, the whole family should be sent packing if they are here illegally.
Yes, I understand that all people born in the US are natural born citizens.
Under the circumstances it would do no harm to keep her in the safety of a Florida foster home until she turns 18.
My opinion has nothing to do with her salvation or my like or dislike for Muslims. We have example after example of honor killings that happen without warning. She expressed a fear of that. Those honor killings are all done by one religion and it's not Southern Baptists or the Amish, it's Muslims and they consider it their Allah-given responsibility to kill someone who in their opinion has disgraced Allah.
If the law were as cut and dried as you say she would simply have been bundled up on day one and shipped back to her parents.
