But as everyone knows, the ex-Muslim convert to Christianity in Ohio, Rifqa Bary, has nothing, nothing, nothing whatsoever to fear from her Muslim family or from any other Muslim, and those who think she does have reason to fear are greasy Islamophobes.

After this post, I decided to write to Umar Lee (with whom I’ve had some interaction in the past) and ask for an interview.

Here is a very serious message from Muslim apostate Rifqa Bary’s friend Jamal Jivanjee.
