The Muslim parents of a young Christian runaway who fears for her life are devout members of mosque with ties to numerous terrorist leaders, the girl's attorney warned today. Fathima Rifqa Bary, 17, an honor student and cheerleader, was raised in a Muslim family in Columbus, Ohio. She became a Christian four years ago as a result of her interactions with children at school.
Bary ran away from home July 19 because she says her family will murder her in what is known as an "honor killing" for converting to Christianity. In Islamic tradition, an honor killing is the killing of a person believed to have brought dishonor upon his or her family. The United Nations tabulates about 5,000 such "honor killings" annually around the world, and they have been documented even in the United States.
Orlando, Fla., trial lawyer John Stemberger, attorney for Rifqa Barry,filed documentation about the Islamic mosque and its connection to terrorism.
