Send a Christmas Card to Rifqa


I saw this one via Gerbil Droppings, who got it from Atlas Shrugs, and I see it was picked up by the The Crescat.

But the story is this: Rifqa Bary is a convert to Christianity who ran away from home, fearing retaliation from her Muslim family for her action - and I am not talking about merely being grounded, young lady, but death for the "dishonor" she brought on her family.

Now, anyone of us might assume this is a story from an oppressive desert sheikdom but no, it is happening right here in the United States. And here is the kicker - CAIR has provided her family with a lawyer to enjoin (that's legalese for "stop") people from sending her Christmas cards and seize those that she has received.

Hello? We have courts of American law, not shari'ia law, and American law has this thing called the US Constitution with First Amendment rights. So, if you would like to show a bunch of eedjuts - including the CAIR lawyer, Omar Tarazi - what our freedom of speech and freedom of religion is all about, send a card to Rifqa at the following address:

Rifqa Bary
c/o Angela Lloyd
255C Drinko Hall
55 West 12th Avenue
Columbus, OH 43210

Merry Christmas, sweetie - stay strong!

When does Rifqa turn 18?

Her best hope may be to fight against this until she's a legal adult and then disappear.
