Pamela Geller (Atlas Shrugs) has uncovered some explosive information about Mohamed Bary, the father of the most famous convert from Islam to Christianity, Rifqa Bary -- who fled from her father's home after she says he threatened to kill her for her apostasy. It seems that the Barys are in the U.S. illegally, and that Mohamed Bary has sworn to contradictory statements on his visa applications -- in other words, he has clearly committed perjury.
The family could therefore be deported, with Rifqa -- which would leave her at the mercy of the Islamic community in Sri Lanka, many of whom no doubt believe devoutly in the Islamic death penalty for apostasy that Rifqa's detractors in the U.S. are so avid to deny. Rifqa, however, could apply for asylum. And certainly she could make a strong case that her life would be in danger if she returned to Sri Lanka....

If this is true, then I believe that the judge here in Florida should be able to keep her in Florida because the parents do not have legal standing in Ohio.
Oh ho!
Open-and-shut case for asylum right there!
And I’ll bet Rifqa has a sponsor. Buh bye illegal Bary’s!
It'll be okay...it's just me that's being screwed...my congresscritters will retire in luxury.
7.6% of the Sri Lankan population.
Also, the obvious thing for her to do would be to pursue emancipation. She’s 16, and all she has to do is petition a court to determine that emancipation is in her best interest. Once she is emancipated, she then could petition to stay here without her parents, who, one hopes, will be deported back to their native Islamic hell hole. Then she could return to Florida and live with those who were sheltering her while she was there.
Her lawyers need to start pleading for aslyum for her now.
It might be logical to assume that, but that's not the way child custody law works. It's far more complicated, and the immigration status of the parents isn't a consideration for family court. In fact, the possible immigration problems of the parents could potentially make it even harder for the FL judge to rule any other way, as he would then be guided not only by US/FL law, but also a number of treaties and international conventions that the US is signatory to.
Of course, if this is indeed true, and her parents are facing possible deportation, it might bolster her argument for emancipation in the family court, and her conversion to Christianity might then give her grounds to file an asylum claim with INS.
A) Call CAIR who will say that he is being unfairly targeted because he is a Muslim, and deserves instant citizenship and welfare.
2) Behead his wife to demonstrated how harmless Islam actually is.
Hope it works out for the poor girl.
They recently showed a film clip at church of her telling her story...
The girl is precious.
Emancipation is not available in either FL or OH
I hope she is not sent to Sri Lanka, but her parents should be. Apparently 7.6% of the population is enough pollution to make the whole place sewer-like. We need to get the muslim population here to about 0.0000001 % max.
“We need to get the muslim population here to about 0.0000001 % max.”
Way too high!
According to this site,"Sri Lanka Buddhist Militants Attack Churches And Pastors, Investigators Say."

Maybe it's extremists among the 70% of Sri Lankans who are Buddhist.
Not ALL religious persecution is committed by Muslims. Hindus have attacked Christians in India, Buddhists in Ceylon, etc. Christians have a long and bloody past history of similar activity.
In fact, it seems to me that Christianity has had its name invoked in support of violence, war, cruelty and intolerance to a very significant degree. Certainly one of the league leaders in that regard. If Christianity today reverted to Medieval Times or the Dark Ages, perhaps it would be a serious issue. As far as I know Islam is unique in holding to those grand old traditions like "honor killing". If you want to read about a Jewish woman being stoned to death, check the Old Testament. For a Muslim woman? Check yesterday's newspaper.

Actually, that is her first story, there were two. I tried to post a link to the second story, above.
I agree 100%.
Our ancestors’ participation in unsavory activities shouldn’t lead us to be unwilling to denounce those activities today.
That the US only 150 years ago held millions of slaves doesn’t mean we can’t denounce those who enslave people today.
Christians put together some pretty serious religious persecution campaigns as recently as the 50s and 60s in such places as Greece, Spain, Quebec and the Dominican Republic.
Interestingly, Greece, Quebec, Spain and other fairly recent persecutors are today among the most post-Christian of all societies.
Okay, I’m just trying to link them all up by entering the keyword ‘rifqabary’.
Why does this not surprise me?
