CALL TO ACTION Rifqa's life is in great danger (Now in Ohio)

To all those who value life,

Please take a few minutes to consider the life of our sister in the faith Rifqa Bary, which is once again in grave jeopardy. On Tuesday October 27’th, Rifqa Bary was handed over to Ohio authorities for placement in foster care in Franklin County. Over the previous weekend, a very unfortunate deal was made by Rifqa’s former Florida Guardian Ad Litem, Krista Bartholomew, with Rifqa’s parent’s attorney David Colley that allowed Rifqa to be transferred back to Ohio. The gist of this (behind the scenes) deal was the following:

1. Because Rifqa’s parents are in the U.S. illegally, they refused and defied numerous court orders to produce documents detailing their immigration status. As a result, Rifqa’s parents were in danger of being arrested for contempt of court. The Florida judge who had emergency jurisdiction over the case said that even though the jurisdiction is transferred to Ohio, he was not going to release her until they produced the proper documentation that satisfied the court.

Well, in order to have the immigration issue go away for Rifqa’s parents, Mohammad Bary’s attorney, David Colley, cut a ‘behind the scenes’ deal in which the Florida court would drop the contempt of court issue regarding their immigration situation in exchange for an assurance that they would leave Rifqa alone and let her stay in foster care for the next 9 months until she is 18. This sounded like it was too good to be true, and it was! As soon as Rifqa was transferred into Ohio custody and the Florida court gave up their emergency jurisdiction over Rifqa and the immigration issue, Rifqa’s parents fired their own attorney that made the deal! Simply put, now that Rifqa was in ‘favorable’ hands in Ohio, all deals are off! They trusted Rifqa's parents hoping they would live up to their word, and because of this, Rifqa is in a dangerous situation and there is nothing the Florida court can do now because the (G.A.L.) gave the entire house away! Let this be a lesson about Mohammad Bary's real intentions.

In my opinion, this was all part of a premeditated plan on the part of Rifqa’s parents and the organization called C.A.I.R. who has been advising them according to the Florida department of law enforcement report released to the public. They have since hired a Muslim activist attorney named Omar Tarazi that is no doubt influenced by the mafia like C.A.I.R. organization whose sole agenda is to paint a positive picture of Islam in America at any cost. (The slander of the Lorenz family and the slander of 17 year old Rifqa’s own character by releasing her prayer journals to the media are perfect examples of how C.A.I.R. ruthlessly operates to accomplish their agenda.)

They completely went back on the agreement that they made to leave Rifqa alone, and I believe they now are planning to continue to pursue to get her back against Rifqa’s will. C.A.I.R. wants her silenced both now, and in the future, because they know that Rifqa’s story of abuse is common among many Muslim families. Apostasy in Islam is not something they want to shine a light on. They know that as her story gets out there, there will be a massive exodus of Muslims just like her. Indeed, it has already begun!

2. If that was not bad enough, Rifqa went back to a hostile environment in Ohio right away. In an article posted on Saturday October 24’th, three days before her return to Ohio, the Columbus Dispatch reported that Eric Fenner, the executive director of Franklin County Children Services, has said that he has stated that he “has no reason to believe that Rifqa wouldn’t be safe with her parents.” Remember this is coming from the very person who has charge over protecting her!

Rifqa then arrived back to Ohio on Tuesday October 27’th. Upon her arrival came a new set of restrictions that her parents and Muslim attorneys have been trying to impose on her from the beginning…solitary confinement! While Rifqa was being protected in Florida, they repeatedly tried to separate Rifqa from other Christians that she leaned on for strength and encouragement. Rifqa’s Muslim parents have been saying from the beginning that they don’t believe that Rifqa became a Christian on her own accord, rather they believe that her real problem is that she has been brain washed by other people through facebook and over the phone.

Immediately upon Rifqa’s arrival to Ohio, came new draconian measures to limit her freedom already! Franklin County Juvenile Magistrate Mary Goodrich put these restrictions on Rifqa at the request of the Franklin county children's services agency immediately upon her arrival back to the state of Ohio. “Bary's use of Facebook was one issue that led to the situation, said Jim Zorn, a children's services attorney, who asked Goodrich to restrict Bary from using the Internet and her cell phone. "What we want to restrict is the other people, the other organizations, the other forces, that have interjected themselves into this case inappropriately, and has caused the additional problems that we've seen," Zorn said.

Zorn’s account of Rifqa’s situation is absolutely false! Where is he getting his information? It seems as if the Ohio director of children’s services in Franklin County is reading right out of the C.A.I.R. and radical Muslim playbook for this case. Facebook did not in any way lead to this situation. What led to this situation was the fact that a very bright and intelligent girl decided to leave Islam and become a Christian. According to numerous passages in the Qur’an and other Islamic scriptures, this is called apostasy and is punishable by death. Like many others all over the world, Rifqa faced this threat of death, or even deportation back to Sri-Lanka by her own family along with pressure from the Columbus Ohio mosque that her family was actively apart of.

What crime did Rifqa Bary commit that she would be held with such restrictions from communicating to the outside world? While it is legal for 17 year old girls in this country to have abortions without parental agreement, this 17 year old girl is forbidden to have unrestricted access to her phone or facebook friends of her choosing! Is she under house arrest because she is a Christian? This sounds like Sharia law in Ohio!

Actually, if she was born in the US she, like all anchor babies, are citizens of the United States.

And I am not all that sure that this case is far from ordinary as any illegal alien can claim that their lives would be in danger if they were deported to their home country.

So, should we permit all illegal aliens who claim their lives would be in danger if they were to be deported to stay in the USA?

"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. "

Have you ever heard of due process? It was afforded to the minor child in the Florida court, as it should have been. Because of the allegations of threats and physical harm to the minor child, the Florida authorities were required to investigate and make a determination with respect to the veracity of those allegations. That investigation and subsequent hearing was held, and those threats were deemed to be without merit.

The FL judge followed the law. She had to be returned. Judges don't get to make it up as they go along - that's what liberals want.

Just because the parents are Muslim, or are here illegally, they have an equal right to due process as well. As I said, both parties will have their day in court, which is all anyone can ask.

Rifqa was born in Sri Lanka and the stated reason her parents moved here was to have her treated for an eye injury.

Are all three of them in the country illegally?

re: permit all illegal aliens who claim their lives would be in danger if they were to be deported to stay in the USA?

We do it all the time. The immigration courts are chock full of people seeking asylum based on the fear they will be killed or imprisoned or otherwise treated badly if they are forced to return to their home country.

The very base of out judicial system is that those involved will tell the truth. The truth is a very elusive thing when it comes to Muslims. Their holy book tells them they must lie if telling the truth would interfere with their responsibility to Allah. The parents have already shown they have no respect for the law by being here illegally. Why should the court take anything else they say seriously.

I just don’t think this is your every day run-of-the-mill custody situation. But I could certainly be mistaken, goodness knows I have a nasty habit of that!

Perhaps, but an American court is not going to rule that a Muslim cannot be telling the truth use that for a basis to rule against him.

Their immigration status was under review when the judge made the agreement that he wouldn’t pursue it (the contempt citation for the father not providing proof of immigration status) in return for a guarantee that she would be left alone in foster care until she reached 18. I believe all three are illegal, but IMO she would have a good case for asylum with her conversion to Christianity and the history of killing of those who convert or are Christian in countries with a Muslim population.

The country needs to wake up to the fact that Islam encourages Muslims to lie.
