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.
Dumb headline. It is a Christian teen is fearing for her life.
Why don’t all mussie women come over to our side?
I’m eating more pork for Ramadan.
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.
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.
I cannot think of anything more evil on this planet than Islam.
A mercy killing is mentioned as a possiblity. Scare how they think she should be killed lest she damn her soul even further.
Scare = Scary
Islam is the scourge of civilized man.
Because they would prefer to remain above ground?
“Muslim teen fears for life after changing religion”
Yo, CNN!!! She’s CHRISTIAN now. Do try to keep up!
...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.’
Got it!
thanks
