Rifqa Bary, long before she was supposedly “brainwashed” by a fiendish Christian fundamentalist pastor, says:
I am sixteen and I love Jesus, I’m crazy how I found the Lord but, people were blown away but, my parents are Muslims, radical, radical Muslims. You guys don’t know the history of Islam, it’s really hostile towards Christianity and the mere word of Christian can bring such a hatred in them right. I’m a secret Christian, I’ve been hiding for a long time, three of four years. They can’t know of my faith, because if they do know, the consequences are really harsh. Just the culture and background they come from like, is so hostile towards Christianity ….the consequences are great.
Pamela has the video and much important background (go!), including an important warning from Bruce Bawer that goes as much for America as it does for Europe, especially as authorities rush to dismiss the evidence that Rifqa is under threat:
And in many cases they shamefully close their eyes to honor killings. The murders by parents and siblings, of girls and women who in some cases doing no more than looking at a boy the wrong way, have according to Islamic beliefs, soiled family honor. European authorities are so much a prisoner of multiculturalism that they´could actually believe that their obligation in such matters is not to protect innocent children from brutality, but to display sensitivity to cultural difference.
