Muslim teen fears for life after changing religion
CNN ^ | Sept 3, 2009 | John Couwels

Posted on 09/03/2009 12:30:55 PM PDT by rdl6989

A Muslim teenager from Ohio says her father threatened to kill her because she converted to Christianity. Rifqa Bary, 17, ran away from her family in Columbus, Ohio, in July and took refuge in the central Florida home of the Rev. Blake Lorenz with the Global Revolution Church in Orlando.

The teen heard of the pastor and his church through a prayer group on Facebook. The girl's parents reported her missing to Columbus police, who found her two weeks later in Florida through cell phone records.

The teenager, in a sworn affidavit, claims her father, Mohamed Bary, 47, was pressured by the mosque the family attends in Ohio to "deal with the situation." In the court filing, Rifqa Bary stated her father said, "If you have this Jesus in your heart, you are dead to me!" The teenager claims her father added, "I will kill you!"

Mohamed Bary told CNN a lot of false information has been given and "we wouldn't do her harm." He knew his daughter was involved with Christian organizations.

The essence of evil is found in the irrational.

I’m sorry but this is not news.

This is normal.

The “religion of peace” is intolerant of losing its adherents... so, it kills them. Simple. Clean.

The whole process keeps people in the group... and ironically, doubtful of their eternal destiny.

It's not dumb. It is just that CNN takes the Islamic view that once you are a muslim you are never allowed to leave. Kind of like the mafia.

The headline is insulting. Islam isn’t an ethnicity. If she converted to Christianity, then she’s a “Christian” teen.

"If you have this Jesus in your heart, you are dead to me! I will kill you!"

Charming beliefs are certainly found in Islam.

The behavior of this muslim male further solidifies my faith in Jesus Christ.

The Communists did the precise same thing to anyone who ran away from their ideology, and the North Koreans still practice these same brutal tactics today.

This is why I detest Islam and Communism.

Their twisted beliefs allow the practice of murder if you question or defy their authority.

Shouldn't the headline read "Ex-Muslim teen fears for life after changing religion"?

A mercy killing is mentioned as a possiblity. Scare how they think she should be killed lest she damn her soul even further.

Because they would prefer to remain above ground?

...and the messenger of Jehovah saith to her, ‘Behold thou art conceiving, and bearing a son, and hast called his name Ishmael, for Jehovah hath hearkened unto thine affliction;and he is a wild-ass man, his hand against every one, and every one’s hand against him — and before the face of all his brethren he dwelleth.’
