Fathima's Fears
IBD Editorials ^ | September 21, 2009 | INVESTORS BUSINESS DAILY Staff

Islamism: A Muslim teen who fled from Ohio to Florida after becoming Christian swears her father will kill her if she goes back home. Florida authorities appear willing to take that chance.


The state believes her fears are unfounded after talking to the devout Muslim father and his lawyers, who work for the Council on American-Islamic Relations. And it's expected to return her to his care.

Florida conducted a juvenile hearing after the father sued to regain custody of his 17-year-old daughter — Fathima Rifqa Bary — who sought shelter with a Christian family in Orlando after he allegedly threatened to kill her for changing her religion.

In their report, Florida authorities found: "Ms. Bary's concern that she may be killed because of her conversion from Islam to Christianity remains a subjective and speculative concern."

Based on the facts of the case — along with prior Muslim father-daughter "honor killings" inside America — we would argue that the concern is, on the contrary, very real. Consider that:

• Bary swore in a court filing that her father confronted her in her bedroom and said: "If you have this Jesus in your heart, you are dead to me!" And then, picking up a laptop as if to hit her, he allegedly added: "I will kill you!" A friend reported the incident to local police.

(The father, Mohamed Bary, admits grabbing the computer but says he meant only to throw it. He denies threatening her life.)

CAIR - good organization to put your faith in.

17 years old ... most children at that age are adults. They can form complete sentences and have coherent thoughts ... despite public education. Maybe the judge should listen to her.

Simple solution to this problem. She walks up to the judge in court and punches his dumba$$ in the mouth. Gets sent to jail for X number of months and is 18 once she gets out.

“The father, Mohamed Bary, admits grabbing the computer but says he meant only to throw it. He denies threatening her life.”

Funny, isn’t he trying to convince the court to send her home because he loves her and will not stand in the way of her religious conversion.

She needs to run away again. I guess she needs a woman’s shelter until she is 18. Then she needs a name change. She needs to live in a state where she can arm herself.

Here are some recent prayer requests I have received:

1. A pastor in XXXXXXstan who was fined and his congregation who have been forbidden to meet because he openly preached the gospel.

2. A pastor, wife and son in XXXXXXstan who are fleeing following the beheading of their two older sons. He had been preaching in a dangerous area. Pray for comfort in their loss, protection, any continued ministry.

2. 5 new converts from Islam who were arrested during a government raid on a house church in XXXXXX. Church members have been unable to learn where their brothers are being held.

3. A young Christian man who has been brought before the revolutionary council in XXXXXX. His pastor father’s murder was ordered by the same council.

4. 3 Christian ladies who were just released after six months in an XXXXXX prison for sharing their faith with Muslims; they refused to disavow Christ while jailed.

5. 400 kids in XXXXXX who received children’s Bibles; for their salvation and spiritual growth

6. Pray for the family of an XXXXXXan Christian found floating dead in the RIVER 9 days after being kidnapped and tortured by a group of Muslim men.

This is the “religion of peace.” The girl is not exaggerating the threat to her.

I say hold the judge accountable. See if the judge is willing to forfeit his life if he’s wrong.

Florida has a horrible record when it comes to protecting kids. What happens if they send her back and she ends up dead? Who is responsible if this happens?

Return her to big daddy mo and if he can’t get away with killing her, she will be trundled off to some idiotistan and given to a 97 year old rug merchant as consolation for the death of his beloved fourth wife, and in return for various and sundry considerations generously and yet spontaneously granted to the pious parents of the nubile young wayward that old fellow is agreeably taking custody of as wife 4.10.

You don't know how correct you are. Here is about 7.5 minutes of her amazing thoughts from several months ago. Rifqa's testimony.

Can’t she simply apply for emancipated minor status (don’t know what it’s called in Florida...)?

Solid Testimony. May God protect her from the enemy and grow her to influence many, many others. May the LORD of creation bless her.

Amen.
