“Dead girl walking.” That’s how Florida anti-Shariah activist Tom Trento of the Florida Security Council described Rifqa Bary. Bary is a 17-year-old girl who fled to Florida to escape an abusive Muslim family in Ohio out of fear that she would be killed by her father or brother.

[My father] took [a] laptop and waved it in the air and he was about to beat me with it, and he said 'If you have this Jesus in your heart, you’re dead to me. You’re not my daughter.' And I refused to speak but he said. 'I will kill you. Tell me the truth.' In these words, bad words, cuss words. So I knew that I had to get away." Read more ...
