Christian Activists Draw Attention To Rifqa Bary Case At Public Rally

COLUMBUS, Ohio—Dozens of Christian activists descended on Columbus Monday morning to rally in the name of Rifqa Barry, the central Ohio teenager who converted from Islam to Christianity. Bary fled to Florida during the summer, saying she feared her father would kill her because of her conversion.

Bary is now back in Ohio under foster care. Her case is moving through the legal system. A hearing scheduled for Monday was postponed until December 22.

Rally-goers said they are worried about Bary’s safety if she is returned to her parents.

“There is the larger question of, ‘Is Aamerica going to protect religious freedom at this time and allow this girl to make a choice in conscience to be a Christian, rather than a Muslim,“ asked Robert Spencer, a co-organizer of the rally.

A group of Christian activists that traveled to Columbus from Florida wore t-shirts criticizing the Islamic religion. Bary’s parents hope to regain custody.

Investigators in both Ohio and Florida have not found a credible threat to Rifqa Bary’s safety.

Rally for Rifqa! Monday November 16Th

I just wanted to alert the readers here that Pamela Geller, will be leading a rally for the endangered but very brave Rifqa Bary, this November 16Th. For those that think that this story is being blown out of proportion, this is what Islamic law has to say about leaving Islam.

Rally for Rifqa!

Pamela Geller in co-operation with Robert Spencer and Dr. Andrew Bostom are organizing a Rally for Rifqa on the day of her dependency hearing in support of the reinstatement of Rifqa's rights and freedom of religion. Some of the warriors coming to our rally.........

Simon Deng - ex-slave from Sudan

Nonie Darwish - Executive Director, Former Muslims United

James Lafferty - chairman of the Virginia Anti-Sharia Task Force

Joyce Kaufman - Talk Show Radio Host

Jamal Jivanjee - apostate, Pastor and Rifqa's friend

Honor killing victims' family members


Rifqa Bary's civil rights are being violated. She is being held prisoner: no phone, no internet no public school .........house arrest in accord with sharia law. Female apostates are imprisoned until they recant.

Ohio is practicing sharia law. Where are Rifqa's civil rights? Where is her freedom of religion? Why isn't Obama fighting for her right to NOT wear the hijab?

Her parents, here illegally from Sri Lanka, perjured themselves repeatedly and abused Rifqa for years. They are devout Muslims. The punishment for apostasy in Islam is death. Why can't Rifqa choose her own attorney? She is up against an array of legal talent and her parents have changed lawyers as frequently as toddlers change diapers.

Would anyone from the Islam is "tolerant" crowd care to chime in?

Somalian Muslims Hunt Converts to Christianity

Just minutes ago I posted an article about the persecution of Christians in Egypt.
We now see just how "tolerant" Islam is in Somalia. This is a worldwide problem that has come to our shores as well. Will we sit silently and let them takeover or we will defend our freedoms and fight Islam? It is time for non-Muslims to rise up and take a stand against Islam.

Islamic extremists in Somalia hunting Christians


Somalia (MNN) ― Somalia's Muslim militants are hunting down converts to Christianity. According to Voice of the Martyrs Canada, Al-Shabaab members have murdered 14 believers since July 15.

Compass Direct News reports the September 15 shooting death of 69-year-old Omar Khalafe, an underground Christian who had Bibles in his possession.

On the day of his death, Khalafe was carrying 25 Somali Bibles he hoped to deliver to an underground fellowship in Somalia. At a checkpoint controlled by al Shabaab--a rebel group linked with al Qaeda which has taken over large parts of the war-torn country--bus passengers were ordered to disembark for inspection.

Voice of the Martyrs Canada and Compass Direct reports agree on the events following the discovery of the Bibles.

The assailants used photos they found to determine if they could match the faces to any passengers. When they noticed a resemblance to Khalafe, they asked if the Bibles were his. The radicals shot and killed him when he did not respond.

Militants then displayed his body in Merca along with the Bibles as a warning to others. Later that day, a militant reported Khalafe's death on a radio program.

Khalafe, who had been a Christian for 45 years, was active in sharing the Good News and baptizing converts from Islam.

Khalafe's family is in mourning, but due to the risk of exposure, his wife and seven children were unable to participate in his burial because of the risk of being killed by militants, reports Compass Direct.

Despite the shock and brutality of Khalafe's death, the hope of the Gospel is still going forward through the underground church. Keep praying for wisdom for the workers who continue to follow Christ.

Fla. Police: No Credible Threat to Runaway Convert

Besides being verbally attacked by the Arab News, now the Florida police will not even protect her. When it comes to Islam they are as uninformed as the NYPD and LAPD are.

Fla. police: No credible threat to runaway convert

ORLANDO, Fla. — An investigation by Florida authorities has found that there were no credible threats to a teenager who ran away from her Ohio home because she says she feared for her life after converting to Christianity from Islam.

A summary of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement investigation into Rifqa Bary's (RIF'-kuh BEHR'-ee) allegations was unsealed Monday. The probe found no reports of threats against Bary in Florida or Ohio.

The 17-year-old girl is in foster care in Orlando, where a judge is deciding whether she should be returned to Ohio.

The girl ran away from her parents' suburban Columbus home in July, saying she feared being killed for changing religions.

Ohio:17 Year-old Apostate of Islam Pours her Heart out~Video

I encourage all readers to take the time to watch this short video in which 17 year-old apostate of Islam Rifqa Bary, pours her heart out to the world as her own father told her "that if you have this Jesus in your heart, you're dead to me. You are not my daughter. I will kill you". She also states that if she has to return back to the Muslim community in Ohio she will be dead within a week. If there are any Islamic apologists reading this I strongly suggest that you watch this video. You might learn something about the harsh reality of Islam. May God watch over this brave young girl.
