IS THIS WHAT WE CAN EXPECT UNDER OBAMA
Teenage Convert to Christianity Fears for Her Life
You may have heard the story of Rifqa Bary, the 17 year-old girl who fled her Muslim home in Ohio out of fear that her father would kill her for becoming a Christian.
ABC’s “Good Morning America” covered the story this morning. To view the two minute segment please click here.
Rifqa is now in the custody of Florida state authorities who are investigating the allegation. Not surprisingly, the father denies that he wants to kill his daughter. Is he telling the truth? Or is he practicing “taqiyya,” the Islamic doctrine of deception? How will state authorities know for sure?
The pastor who Rifqa sought out is convinced Rifqa is telling the truth. So is the attorney who is representing Rifqa. Rifqa is clearly very, very frightened.
Over the past two years we have seen at least three different “honor killings” perpetrated in either Canada or the United States. The most recent was this past February, when the founder of a Muslim outreach television network beheaded his wife, who was seeking a divorce from him.
Violence against women and against those who convert from Islam is not uncommon in most Muslim countries. For instance, in 2008 the Iranian Parliament voted overwhelmingly to institute the death penalty against those who convert from Islam.
According to a 1999 Amnesty International report, as many as 90% of Pakistani women are subjected to violent treatment by men.
This is the fruit of Islamic shariah law, in which women are treated as the property of men and “apostates” from the faith can be put to death.
And this “fruit” is becoming more and more commonplace in America. Unfortunately Rifqa’s story will likely not be the last.
