"URGENT ACTION ALERT - Gov Crist, Sec Sheldon, Protect Rifqa Bary" by Esther Levens

Thursday August 20, 2009
Explanation:

Fathima Rifqa Bary exhibits the full extent of the problem with the worldwide introduction of Sharia Law - even in America! A Florida trial tomorrow will decide whether Rifqa, 17, as a new convert to Chrisitanity, will be sent home to her Muslim parents in Ohio where her father has threatened to kill her in an "honor killing" based on Islamic Sharia law. Her plight is becoming a national stage for Americans to learn first-hand about the barbaric attrocities carried out on women of all ages under Islamic "Sharia" law.

Under Sharia Law, "Honor killing" is an accepted form of murder of daughters and sisters who have committed religious "offenses" such as -

- going out of their house without a male chaperone
- uncovering their arms, wrists or ankles in public
- talking to a male person who is not a member of their immediate family
- and (the ultimate crime, according to "Sharia law") converting to another religion - which makes them "impure" and deserving of the death of an infidel.

This is being played out in a Florida court which will decide if she is a minor and required to be sent back to her Muslim home, where Rifqa publicly insists, an honor-killing awaits her.

Curiously, Rifqa Bary`s day in Juvenile Court is August 21st, the first day of the month-long Islamic holiday of Ramadan, during which many attrocities historically have taken place.

To: Governor Charlie Crist
George H. Sheldon, Secy.
Florida Dept. of Children and Families

I am among other citizens of the United States who understand the implications of ignoring Shariah Law and its fatal enforcement by Islamic communities in America. I therefore implore you to not allow the Florida Department of Children and Families to return Rifqa Bary to her parents in Ohio.

Returning her to her Islamic community in Ohio is tantamount to a death sentence. She is now 17 years of age and has explicitly expressed her years of abuse in that community and the idea that her own father, or other family members, would commit an Islamic "honor killing."

I am asking you to act decisively to protect her and to arrest her father for threatening to kill his daughter.

Respectfully,

A 17-year old Muslim girl flees her family to avoid being killed for converting to Christianity. Muslim women overseas have long had to deal with the threat of honor killings, but several incidents in recent years show that the threat has come to American soil. A 17-year old girl named Fathima Rifqa Bary is currently engaged in a custody battle after fleeing her father in Ohio , who she claimed threatened to kill her for converting to Christianity. She is currently living with Pastors Blake and Beverly Lorenz of Global Revolution Church in Orlando, who she became friends with through Facebook. Bary says she took an approximately 30-hour bus ride from Ohio to Orlando in September to save her life. A video of her testimony has been posted on YouTube, where she cries as she explains that her family is required by Islam to execute her and that she’d die within a week of going back to Ohio . Her father, Mohamed, however, is saying she did not flee out of fear, but because of a verbal fight with her mother over her leaving the house without permission and says that the church has brainwashed Fathima. “This is a cult group who kidnapped my daughter and took her away,” he said. The pastors have rejected the allegation, saying she converted to Christianity before they even met...
