Rifqa Bary is a 17 year old girl from a Muslim family in Columbus, OH. She secretly converted to Christianity 4 years ago and she had to hide the fact from her family. She had to go outside to pray. She had to hide her Bible. When her father found out about her conversion to Christianity, she says he threatened to kill her.

Rifqa says her local mosque found out about her conversion through clues on her Facebook page and ratted her out to her parents, so she fled to Florida to stay with a pastor and his family that she had contacted on-line. They agreed to give her shelter. Her parents have been trying to get her sent back to Ohio where she fears she will become the victim of an honor killing. So far, the State of Florida has agreed to give her protection and placed her with a foster family.

There have been a slew of honor killings by Muslims in the West over the last few years, both here and also in Great Britain and Europe. The last one to get any media attention was the story of the two girls murdered by their father in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area – the father has never been caught.

This video will break your heart, but I urge you to watch it and listen to it. Listen to Rifqa Bary and ask yourself, ‘Is my faith this strong?’. Pray for this poor girl, this sister in Christ. And remember while you’re watching the video – this isn’t happening overseas in some far away country. This is happening in Ohio and Florida.
