A 17-year-old girl who fled to Florida after converting from Islam to Christianity will almost certainly be forced to return home to Ohio, experts say -- despite her fears that she will become the victim of an honor killing for abandoning her parents' faith.
Rifqa Bary, who hitchhiked to an Ohio bus station earlier this month and took a charter bus to Orlando, remains in protective custody with Florida's Department of Children and Families. A judge is expected to rule Friday on the jurisdiction of the case, but several legal experts contacted by FOXNews.com say the girl is bound to be sent back to Ohio

Honor killers rarely care. Their burning hate and lust for blood is greater than their fear of reprisals.
It’ll never happen. A father that killed his 2 daughters, here in America, is still free and on the run. Muslims will protect him and the government will look the other way.
It would be quite easy for them to simple take her back to Sri Lanka and kill her there.
Except with a difference. Elian was a trophy for Castro, he wasn’t going to kill him, just brainwash him. This girl will simply be murdered.
She TRUSTED this so-called pastor who sold her out. PRAY for her.
Florida has a pretty pi$$ poor record regarding the protection of a human in trouble ... Terry and Elian being the more famous.
Others of the Scientology sect also come to mind.
I'm no pedaphile, but I'd suggest a mature, Christian man marry this girl and bring her under the protective umbrella of another state and the marriage.
If she can’t run away, her only hope is to bash someone over the head enough to get herself a year’s detention. Then she’s 18 and they can’t send her home.
You are so right, in fact I did not read it at all. (Having read half a dozen others about her today.) Emancipation is out. Therefore the old standby should apply: protective services dragging their heels until she’s 18 and they can cut her loose. A few months in foster care and it’s all over.
Instead, it says she will likely be returned to her parents’ home.
It’s absurd to send her back to a place where she says she’s been threatened with killing.
Protective services in the spotlight are very unlikely to go out on a limb and risk placing her in mortal peril.
It just goes to show that when you're running for your life, trust no one. You don't have to lie, but you don't have to tell anyone your life story, either. Sad story.
Horrors! But if it had been an abortion, that would be her own business, right?
There’s an idea. Marry someone, and you’re an adult...even in Ohio. I think.
That should be the situation. I know that here in Oklahoma, the courts will emancipate 16 and 17 year olds who are in bad home situations. There is even a charity that provides assistance to emancipated kids who want to stay in school.
Yeah, surrre they will. They’ll claim she ran away again and her body will be found. Gosh, who could have done that????
You’ll see, and it will be too late for the girl.
In Florida, as in most of the country, under-18 marriages require parental consent.
bad, bad move
That's not worth anything. Its an honor killing... honor, get it. The father will gladly turn himself in and be crowned a hero by the muslim community.
“They love God more than me, they have to do this,” Bary told WFTV.
.
Here again we are equating God and allah — they are NOT the same. As long as America does not understand this fact it is ripe for the plucking by Islam.
Maybe a judge would be a better target
You should check out Phyllis Chesler - she is an expert on the subject of Muslim honor killings and she is truly fearless.
