Please help Rifqa Bary: "I am fighting for my life, you guys don't understand...he said he would kill me"

Listen to her carefully. Watch this. Watch it again. It is heartbreaking, and it is true. Send it to everyone you know. I have been trying all day to reach someone connected with her case -- unsuccessfully -- in order to give solid information about Islamic apostasy law, contrary to the lies being spread in court by Islamic authorities. But the threatening of this girl must not be allowed to stand in the United States. Are we still a free people?

You'll note also that this is a girl who was raised as a Muslim, and who knows what Islamic law is regarding apostates. Contrast her palpable fear to the lies of the smooth apologists who claim that Islam does not mandate death for those who leave Islam. Rifqa Bary knows better, and not because she is an "Islamophobe," but from her personal experience.

Video thanks to Pamela, who has a great deal more. Be sure to check Atlas frequently for updates on this case.

Oh my. If she needs another place to hide, she can live with me. I know though that she wants to be where she is. How can I help?

She's right, this is suppose to be a free country to practise any religion but her life is threatened over it...As she says, If her parents love allah more than her, they must kill her that it is the koran. Horrible...

e-mail@columbuspolice.org

My idea is we need to flood this guy's email also, as well as the Columbus PD, and the city's offices..but send each one a separate email, not cc'd.

Sgt. Jerry Cupp of the missing-persons unit of the Columbus police special-victims bureau, disputes Fathima Rifqa Bary's allegation. He said her father, Mohamed Bary, appears to be a loving parent who knew about her conversion to Christianity months ago.

Everyone should ALSO CONTACT THESE AGENCIES, ASKING THEM TO SUBMIT APPEALS on Rifqa's behalf.they have plenty of clout and should be made aware of how muslims parents abuse their services, reporting their kids missing when they are in fear of being murdered.

THERE IS A COURT HEARING IN OHIO AUGUST 20...PLEASE HURRY WITH THE EMAIL CAMPAIGN

Restoring to this thread, the comments that were made while the jihadwatch comments forum was still using IntenseDebate rather than typepad; from my (dumbledoresarmy's) personal record.

JEW LOVER said - Please help Rifqa Bary: "I am fighting for my life, you guys don't understand...he said he would kill me"

Let's hope and pray the courts don't pull an Elian Gonzales which will result in a death sentence.

JOE BLOUGH said - Well, I just mailed this link out to my mailing list.

I hope everybody else did too.

This is America. This is our turf. WE make the damn rules here.
That girl is an American. She's one of ours.
She has an INALIENABLE RIGHT TO LIFE. Period.

The part where she, holding herself as well as a 17 year old could possibly be expected to, had to explain to the obvious incomprehension of her questioner that she was facing an OBVIOUS, REAL AND COMMONLY UNDERSTOOD mortal threat nearly tore my heart out.

There is little in this life worse than speaking into the vacuum of incomprehension.

Doubly so when something really important is at stake.

And we're talking about her life here.

NIGHTLIGHT said - I feel so sorry for this girl. But by converting from Islam to Christianity, hasn't she gone from the frying pan into the fire. She said that she is in God's hands. OK. So if God is all good, all knowing, and all powerful, wouldn't he protect her from her parents if she were to return home? So why is she afraid to go home if she believes in God and believes that she is in His hands? Shouldn't this little girl be place in protective custody and shouldn't an order of protection be file against her parents? With what is known at this point, there is no reason for her parents to be allowed to kill this poor little girl._______


ICESTAR said - I will keep this young lady in my prayers.

The mother and Imam are boldfaced liars. I hope her lawyer is informed enough to counter the lies effectively.

IPSOFACTO said - The young women are the weak link in Islam. The barbaric sharia laws regarding women and apostasy is as desperate a method as the Berlin Wall was.

If defection from Islam can go unpunished Islam will soon crumble just like the police state DDR [communist East Germany] did.

Securing Human Rights to the fugitives from Islam and provide an effective guarantee for their safety is in my view more effective than fighting open ended wars against the Islamofascist in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere.

We must exploit the weak links in Islam instead of fighting where Islam is strongest!

MAXPUBLIUS said - This is going to be good. Fox says she is a non-citizen. She is likely a illegal alien. If she is granted asylum, it has to be on the basis that Islam kills apostates. That could knock the door down. She is not just threatened by her family, but by any Muslim. She could end up like Salmon Rushdie, needing lifelong protection, now that this is international news.

Political vermin like Fairfax County's Gerry Connolly who slurp from the trough of Islamic bribes are to blame for hiding this for too long, and expanding odious entities like the Islamic Saudi Academy under the false meme, Islam is Peace.

TAPROOT said - " The truth about Islam is out !!" ?

Knowyourrights [another poster], unfortunately exposing a case of Islamic abuse in one form or the other, now and then has been going on for sometime.

Even more unfortunately it doesn't seem to reach the general public very often.

When a citizen does hear about it , it is taken as an isolated incident, rather than an example of what is going on all the time.

The problem is- that the public is so shamefully ignorant of what is going on with Islam and it's swarm of immigrants crawling over all the borders all around the globe ,that it may mean the devestation of our own Democratic culture.

Once again--our duty is to try hard to shake things up and spread the word. I am mad as hell and will never remain silent about radical Islam.____

And about the Koran and whether it mentions how an apostate should be treated- why don't we ask an expert ? Mr Spencer ??

UNDHIMMI said - Re: apostate girl:

Whilst I'm deeply concerned about honour killings and the plight of apostates of Islam (in fact I don't know why I'm bothering to say it), there's something about this clip that doesn't sit right with me. Whilst I could well be wrong, the whole thing looks contrived and almost 'staged'.

She is crying, yet there are no tears in her eyes. She also seems precociously assertive and confident; yet at times appears to hold onto the gentlemen she is standing with, like a small child. I'm not convinced. I'd certainly appreciate the benefit of more background.

Would a real Muslim confuse 'Halal' with 'Haraam'? Is it just me?

Any young female apostate of islam would rightly fear for her life. But she simply does not strike me as a girl who fears for her life.

-IPSO FACTO said - I must admit I also had some mixed feelings about the authensity. If the girl was truly fearing for her life then it seems counterproductive to reveal her face to the public as she did. The responsible thing to do would be to keep her face and story out of the media, give her physical protection and hire an advocate to protect her legal rights.

The whole thing look a bit too staged to my taste. True Christian compassion and help to the fellow man in need must be done in secret without bragging about it. Saint Pauls ode to love comes to mind:

"Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful;
it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;
it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right.
Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things."

-UNDHIMMI said - Take a look at the video again - stop it almost as soon as it starts (about 01:00), where she surges forward and says 'hi' to the reporter/interviewer with a big confident smile on her face. Now watch how that expression switches almost instantaneously to a fearful, passive expression and she retreats rapidly to the protective arms of the man over the next 3-5 seconds.

It was that rapid switch in such a short time that first concerned me, then the other signals I mentioned earlier. It just doesn't stack up for me.

If her story is genuine then she must he helped - and I wouldn't deny her that in the least - I'd help her too. But my alarm bells are ringing here and I want to know more.

-IPSO FACTO said- The "Hi" and smile is at 0:01 - the first second of the video not the first minute.

That makes it look staged but on the other hand the girl is put into an impossible stressful situation going public by the request of the Christians helping her against her instinctive desire to hide from the world, the Muslims and most of all her family.

I just hope I am wrong!

-UNDHIMMI said - Yes, 'min' should have read 'sec' - sorry my mistake. I'd sure hope to be wrong about this too, but there's nothing wrong with a little healthy scepticism on the other hand.

FLOWERKNIFE said - Testimony the Press cannot support without exposing the big LIE!

INDIAN TIGER said - There is clearly fear in her eyes and voice. Her words completely trash islamic taqiya of "islam is peaceful". islam is a violent cult, period.

Now, we wait for Abdullah Bullah and Yoms to spew lies and justification.

Does anyone know how we can help this little girl?

JAU JAU said - I wish they would have not publicized this. Doesn''t anyone remember Elian Gonzalez?

AL2313 said - Why is the media not covering this story?

JOSEPHINE2 said - Robert, I hope that you are somehow able to communicate with people who can help this young girl.

The video made my blood run cold.

PATHOSLOGOS said - Oh lovely. IntenseDebate is getting rather annoying, clumping all the comments together...I had posted:

'America needs to WAKE UP to the threat of Islam. This is not a religion of peace--it is a religion of enslavement. Rifqa's fears are real and valid. She said it herself: They must kill her. Just look in the Qur'an.

My heart truly goes out to this girl. I broke down crying for her; I'm absolutely frightened for her and I'm not even the one in that situation...she's so much braver than I could ever be. It's all in God's hands.'

-SUPRKUFR said - You're right - it is in God's hands.

However, God also expects us to do everything in our power to help this brave young woman and all those in her dreadful situation.

For a start, there needs to be a legal defense fund to which we can all contribute. A good lawyer needs to be retained for her, who will immediately seek a restraining order prohibiting her family and and all other moslems from having any contact with her.

Then she will need safe shelter and assistance in changing her identity.

Further down the road she will need help in establishing herself in the adult world and fulfilling her potential academically. There are real, practical ways in which we can help Ms. Bary and her yoke-fellows; up to now we've been talking the talk, but we haven't been walking the walk.

Surely, at some point we must establish an "underground railway" for these victims of the religion of peace, and support it with our wallets and our physical help.
The thought of this lovely young woman falling into the clutches of these disgusting people is too horrible to contemplate.

{A posting was made - of some significance, but the writer then deleted it and I will not reverse the person's decision, as the posting might have affected the poster's safety}.

-DUMBLEDORESARMY replied - Welcome! Thank you for coming here. Tell your friends. Bring your friends. There is anger expressed here, vocally, from time to time; sometimes people 'vent' a bit; but hang in there, for you will meet many interesting and intelligent and well-informed people from all over the world, and gain a new perspective on many news stories. You will learn how to read 'islamspeak' and decode it.

At present IntenseDebate, which hosts this forum, is screwing up magnificently; ignore it, for we will presently be packing up and finding new - and, hopefully, bug-free - premises. In the meantime: do please click on the link at the top of the main page that is entitled 'Islam 101'. It will tell you everything you need to know about this lethal - and hostile - ideology.

I share your concern for Rifqa, and I pray for her (I can't do much more, for I live far far away, in distant Australia).

-DUMBLEDORESARMY added - Further note, to [poster]. I don't know how much you know about Islam, but it is a fact: Muslims are supposed to kill anyone, even a member of their own family, who leaves - or tries to leave - Islam. That's been the case, ever since Islam was invented.

You and your friends might like to find and read the following books - all of which are written by women who left Islam and became Christians. Hannah Shah - 'The Imam's Daughter'. Gulshan Esther - 'The Torn Veil'. Bilquis Sheikh - 'I Dared to Call Him Father'. Two - Imam's Daughter, and The Torn Veil - are by women who made that move when they were teenagers.

You might also enjoy reading - if you haven't already - Ayaan Hirsi Ali's 'Infidel'. It has a heap of stuff in it about her life as a child and a teenager, which is great reading if scary and sad at times; and it offers a lot of insight into how and why a person raised as a Muslim can screw up the courage to leave; in her case she has become an atheist (people who flee Islam sometimes do this, because the god they've been enslaved to, is so horrible, they don't want to get involved with any god ever again; sort of like a woman who flees a horribly abusive husband, she is reluctant to marry anyone else)."

END of record of original comments.
