Someone should take up a collection to bring Farid, his daughter, and the rest of the family out of that wretched place and to safety in the West--provided they repudiate Islam and convert to Christianity. If they don't have sense enough to do that, they can stay where they are.

I agree with this, except the "provided" part. It smacks too much of coercion. And if Christians were to take up a collection for them, I dare say they would have burned into their minds the difference in treatment they received from Christians vs. from their fellow Muslims.

Maybe so, but I oppose allowing any more Muslims into this country, regardless of the reason. They can repudiate Islam or stay where they are.
