I guess I’m among the cursed here because when I watch the video of Rifkqa, I see a little girl who looks like she’s been brainwashed.

If she chose Christianity freely and because God moved her heart, God bless her, but let’s be honest: she’s claiming she became a Christian at 14. I was raised a Catholic Christian, and if I at 14 decided to become a Buddhist, a Muslim, a Baptist, even an Episcopalian or any other denomination, my parents would have - rightfully — gone bat-sh!t crazy on me. Because: I’m a 14-year-old CHILD. It wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest if this girl’s parents went equally bat-sh!t crazy on her. But they certainly weren’t radical Muslims, just looking at the way the daughter dressed in videos and in Facebook images.

And just imagine if a couple of years later, you'd disappeared, and been found a thousand miles away in another state, being harbored in the home of "pastor" of your new religion, who hadn't bothered notifying authorities that he'd been harboring a minor interstate runaway (whom he'd met and befriended and lured via the internet) for over two weeks, until he got a call from another "pastor" who'd physically assisted you in running away by driving you to the bus station to catch an interstate bus and buying your ticket, warning "pastor" #1 that police were on their way because "pastor" #2 had been threatened with arrest if he didn't reveal your location.

Fine bunch of "Christians". I don't believe for a second that this girl's parents ever had any interest whatsoever in killing her, but I sure wouldn't blame them if they were feeling homicidal towards these "pastors".
