VIDEO: UPDATE ON TEEN CONVERT TO CHRISTIANITY

Fathima Rifqa Bary is a 17-year old cheerleader and honor student from Columbus, OH. She made news when she fled her Muslim parents who she claims threatened to kill her for converting to Christianity. After traveling by bus to Orlando, FL she met up with friends at the GLOBAL REVOLUTION CHURCH and sought protection.

On Friday, August 21st a judge who many expected to rule that Bary be returned to her family in Columbus, ruled instead that another hearing be scheduled for September 3rd. In the interim, Bary will be permitted to stay in Florida.

The ball is now in the court of the FLORIDA DEPT OF LAW ENFORCEMENT as their findings on the veracity of the teen's claims are expected to be given serious consideration by the judge.

Here is a video of Fathima Rifqa Bary explaining why she does not want to return to her parents. Be sure to read some interesting revelations about her father below the video.



It would appear that like the Congressional recess and Obama-care, the delay in the judge's ruling on Bary could be damaging to the party wanting swift action without investigation. In this case, that party would be Bary's parents.

Pamela Geller at ATLAS SHRUGS has been all over this story and has uncovered some potentially very damaging information about Mohamad Bary:

Mohamad Bary and his wife signed affidavits declaring themselves indigent, and that is why the Florida court appointed a lawyer for the father and a lawyer for the mother. Both their lawyers are being paid by the taxpayers of Florida. Worse still, Aysha and Mohamed Bary's lawyer asked the court for more money at the hearing on Friday, so that they could wage a campaign (depositions, legal docs, filings etc.).

The above is a copy of the Dunn and Bradstreet report of filed by Mohammad Bary for his business, Bary Gems. He states his business does $237,561 per annum. The wife, Aysha Bary, makes high-end bridal gowns (that income may be off the books, but she works every day). It would appear that she works for CUSTOM BRIDAL VEIL -- a company owned by Risana Bary. The same Risana Bary who works with Mohamad (Rifqa Bary's father) at Bary Gems.

It has been learned that Mohamad Bary has the support of CAIR.

What to watch for: If this story continues to play in the media and if the Florida Dept of Law Enforcement makes an honest effort to uncover the truth, Bary's parents may decide to back down. CAIR already HAS A HISTORY of doing this when the heat gets too hot.

Jerry Wilson at the HOUSTON EXAMINER, points out another interesting little factoid about Mohammad Bary (Fathima's father):

Bary's father legally dissolved his jewelry business on July 29 of this year. Given that the business was apparently quite successful, with nearly a quarter of a million dollars in annual sales, the question of why he took this action is raised. Geller speculates the reason may be so he could leave the country with family, including Fathima, in tow and return to his native Sri Lanka where there would be no American judicial or religious oversight.
