From Pamela Geller – http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/ Pamela -
The unceasing acts of attrition in the Rifqa Bary case go on and on, one after another. It would be comical if it weren’t so dangerous. The Islamic machine is attempting to wear her down, grind her down by this constant friction and mental abuse. The persecution is so obvious and so mundane that no one seems to take notice. The banality of evil.
Why is American jurisprudence crumbling before our very eyes? Modernity bowing to Islam, and it is systemic, nationwide. Rifqa was betrayed in Florida just as she is being betrayed in Ohio. Her hapless legal counsel in Florida was almost slapstick in their ineptitude. Ohio counsel is proving to be more of the same, if not worse.
Wasn’t a Muslim psychiatrist assigned to Rifqa in Florida? How cruel and inhuman. That should never have happened. And now the Barys’ CAIR appointed lawyer is asking the court to hold her in contempt to force her to attend counseling sessions with a Muslim counselor.
There is no counsel in Islam, just absolutes. Leave this girl alone. The latest warning is that Brian Williams, a missionary and the Pastor in Ohio who baptized Rifqa, may very well be arrested. He was, at one time, a big brother to her (unlike the hooligan Rilvan). Brian Williams may very well be arrested. And he has been so warned.
If you missed my interview with Brian Williams back in early September – go here for audio. The Barys, in league with the Islamic machine, will prosecute the pious, straight A honor student with their fallacious charge of “unruliness”. Further, they will prosecute any friend of Rifqa’s who helped her. Why? Because she converted out of Islam.
Why is the US government coming down decidedly in favor or Islamic (sharia) law? Justice is blind except in the case of Islam. Then it is bowed. Is that where this leftist Islamic cabal has taken America? How many runaway girls are selling their bodies on the street in full view of law enforcement and yet go unmolested (pardon the pun), unafraid that they will be rounded up, arrested and sent back to their parents?
Look at how CAIR (front for the Muslim Brotherhood in America) is marshaling all of our legal safeguards and laws to stifle this lone voice, to suffocate Rifqa. Where are decent elected officials? Why aren’t are the Feds protecting Rifqa’s civil rights? Instead, the federal government spends millions on corrupt, racketeering organizations like ACORN that aid and abet child traffickers, child prostitutes and sex rings (and continues to fund them even after they’ve been busted). But they get tough with Rifqa’s Christianity.
Think about it. Why is Rifqa so special, so deserving of this manhunt? Because she converted out of Islam. Anyone who helped this girl is being threatened with prosecution. The pastor who took Rifqa in and provided her shelter is constantly being threatened by CAIR appointed attorneys with some drummed up charge. Why? Clearly to discourage anyone from helping apostates escape Islam.
Across the world, free men and women are going on trial for our unalienable human rights. From obscure trials like Christian convert Nishan in Ohio to Geert Wilders, world’s leading statesman ion trial for hate speech, these are our proxies, fighting our fight, for our civilization.
THE BRIAN WILLIAMS INTERVIEW WITH PAMELA GELLER TRANSCRIPT
Atlas: Can you tell me a little bit about her home life, what she was living with, during those four years she was a Christian? What was she dealing with at home?
BW: From the moment I met her, she shared her story about that at home, she had to hide the fact that she was a Christian from her parents. And she would have to sneak out and go to church services on the weekend, when most kids are sneaking off to party, you know, she was sneaking to go out to prayer meetings and church services as a kid. But she was telling me stories of how her father had found little evidences of traces of biblical writings or things around the house, and that each time he would find those things he would get progressively more upset with her, and at times he would tighten up on her, you know like send her to the mosque and make her attend these classes on the weekend, I think she told me that these class last four or five hours on Saturday.
She told me about an instance where I think he found a Bible or some kind of Christian book, picked up a laptop, cornered her, and was about to hit her with the laptop and told her that he would kill her, if she was a Christian. She told me about sexual abuse that happened, and I kept these things under a tight lip just because I don’t think that anyone wanted to wrestle with it, and I just think that in America that so many people are in denial that this is happens all over the world. When you approach people about it and kind of how you see it in the media, people just don’t want to believe it, but it’s true, it happened, people really died, blood really gets spilled.
And she was constantly in fear of that, and I think that the whole time that I’ve known her, is really why the reason I’ve kept in contact with her, because she would email me and just from her stories about the things her father and mother would say to her, that had her terrified. So I just kind of tried to be there for her.
Atlas: You see the reason why I’m asking these questions, I know that it’s painful, I know that it’s a painful subject, I know that it’s difficult, but frankly, no one is discussing Rifqa. No one is discussing Rifqa’s story, no one is discussing the real fears that Rifqa has and the real threats that she faces. And I’m sure Brian that you see that this is being played out in the media to a very hostile press. A press that in Florida particularly, because they’re the ones covering it, painting her out to be some kind of trollop with the dark red fingernail polish and the hand blown kisses.
I was in the front row and she wasn’t blowing any kisses, she was actually weeping but that’s something else. But I must saying that the people that are not there like me or like you, where we know what’s happening. They’re getting this tripe, they’re getting this propaganda from the media, and so it’s very important, while it may not be very comfortable for you to talk about the threats she faced, what abuse she suffered. I have to tell you that it is incumbent upon you to tell her story. Because she can’t. You know she can’t because it’s the DCF that controlling everyone that talks to her now, the Lorenzes have been restricted. And I see the new lawyer is really trying to isolate her from everyone that she trusts, She was crying when they said that the Lorenzes were restricted. They are trying to get John Stemberger removed as her lawyer, all the people that she relies on, all the people that she trusts.
[...]
Let me ask you, Is that not what it’s about, it not about apostasy in Islam and what a egregious thing, what an egregious crime it is, a shame it is on the family, and in this particular case, unlike Amina Said, Aqsa Parvez and the other girls in the West that have been murdered, this is a crime against Islam?
BW: Yeah and you know that Rifqa comes from a family that has a strong Muslim heritage, I believe she told me at one point that her father, ah not her father but her grandfather was an Imam and that she was the first Christian in the history of her family that’s known and that any anyone in her relations have been a Christian, so for her the issue of apostasy is incredibly shameful to her this family, and they tried to turn this issue into being what kind of Muslims live in Sri Lanka and that her family are liberal Muslims and that’s totally not the case at all.
Her grandfather was an Imam, so think that this is something that people need to pay attention to as far as apostasy is concerned. This is happening all over the world, it’s spread through Europe, this situation in the UK has escalated to epic proportions and now you’re seeing things starting to infiltrate over here in the United states. So I think that it is something that America needs to wake up.
