Victory and Delay for Rifqa Print E-mail
Wednesday, 23 December 2009 18:05

Rifqa Bary is a seventeen year old Ohio teenager who fled her home because her father, a devout Muslim, threatened to kill her because she converted to Christianity.Rifqa Bary Muslim honor killings are perpetrated on thousands of women every year.  

 

An Ohio family court just met to determine Rifqa’s fate. The court previously ordered Rifqa and her family to attend counseling together, but Rifqa has refused. So the Judge ordered Rifqa seek individual counseling instead.

Rifqa has been isolated within the foster care system and isn’t even allowed to speak with a minister. So Christians across the US have sent her encouraging Christmas cards, but her Muslim parents asked the judge stop her from receiving them. Thankfully the judge is allowing the Christmas Cards to be delivered.

The critical issue of Rifqa’s custody was postponed until January 19th.  TAKE ACTION: 
  1. Pray for Rifqa’s court appearance and safety for January 19th.
  2. Contact Governor Strickland today and demand that he allow Rifqa to have pastoral guidance.

One point that needs be emphasized is that Christians and Muslims DO NOT worship
the same "god." There are apparently some Christians who believe that
they worship "Allah" the same as Muslims. I am certain that Rifqa
would, if she could, tell everyone that Allah is a false god under Satan's
guidance, and that Jesus Christ is the Son of the One, Living and True God whose
name in Hebrew is Yahweh (or Yahveh).

The authorities are keeping her under
