The Jawa Report last week reprinted a motion filed at the beginning of December by attorneys for Rifqa Bary, the 17-year old convert to Christianity who fled her Ohio family and went to Florida, saying she was afraid her father would kill her because of her conversion. She is now back in foster care in Ohio. (See prior posting.) The motion, by Rifqa Bary's parents, asks the Franklin County Common Pleas Court to enjoin their daughter's attorneys "from passing messages of third parties directly to the minor child without the approval and supervision of Franklin County Children Services." It also seeks to have any cards now in the possession of Rifqa or her attorney turned over to social workers. The Memorandum in support of the motion cites to "hate filled" websites, that are encouraging messages to be sent to Rifqa, through her attorney, under the guise of sending her Christmas cards. It refers in particular to this posting by Atlas Shrugs asking its readers to "Show Rifqa she is not alone. Send her a Christmas card. Tell her you are praying for her." A hearing on the motion is scheduled for Dec. 22.

I feel some of the Christians around Rifqa are using her as a political tool in order to further their demonizibg of Islam :(
I feel some Islam terrorists are making death threats at this brave girl. This is America, not an islamic country. We the People in the USA do not kill those for choosing their religious faith.
Keep those cards and letters coming! That's the American way.
Agree with Anony. I'm astounded that anyone would censor her mail! unless they thought it was blackmail or drug traffick or porn or harrassers.
No, Barb; her mail is very likely being sifted for both death threats and for proselytizing, neither of which is welcome.
"We the People in the USA do not kill those for choosing their religious faith."
Maybe not directly, but some of y'all do send death threats and hate mail. Yup, that's the American way, alright...
Islam doesn't need any help in demonising their religion, their foot soldiers are quite capable.
Rifqa is back in Ohio, the place she ran away from because she feared for her life.
Rifqa has been confined to a form of isolation, so why on Earth should people complain that there are people, globally, who want to reach out and wish Rifqa love and best wishes for Christmas.
It takes a rather devious and suspicious mind to find this act of affection as being anything other than innocent.
How people like yourselves Prof sleep at night baffles me.

Some of YOU'all, Lady J --not us'ns. Speak for yourself about death threats and hate mail. None from me!
Isn't she almost 18? It won't matter to the Muslims; she still won't be allowed any Proselytyzing mail if they are still screening it.
Barb, you will insist on deliberately missing the point, won't you?
