Miracles Happen: She Did Get Away



In my earlier post, The One I Hope Got Away, I prayed that Fathima Rifqa Bary, was able to save her life by fleeing her home.

As it turns out she did just that. She managed to make it all the way to Orlando, where she was able to find a safe haven in a Pastor's home.

Now the hard part has begun. Fathima is in a custody battle for her life. If she's forced to go back home, she'll be certainly be sentenced to death for apostasy. Hopefully, people like Robert Spencer and friends of honor killing victims will speak on her behalf. Rosa Gonzalez, Fathima's lawyer, stated that "She (Fathima) says her life is in danger and she could be killed in an honor killing. Unfortunately it happens every day in the U.S." (HT Atlas Shrugs):

The One I Hope Got Away




I have reported in earlier posts about the senseless "honor" killing of young Islamic girls, mostly by their fathers. In this case, Fathima Bary, pictured above, hopefully ran away and hid. She was in the process of converting to Christianity from Islam, a no-no punishable by death in a Muslim household.

According to news reports in Ohio, The teenager's cell phone has been turned off and her Facebook account deactivated. Not a good sign, but no evidence of foul play has been found either. This is one story to keep an eye on in the coming weeks. (HT AtlasShrugs):
