H/T Counter Jihad

The  Rifqa Bary case is making huge waves in the US. The major networks finally started reporting on to the abominable practice of honor killings. Pamela Geller from Atlas Shrugs has done invaluable work to bring this out in the open and most likely saved this girls life.  But of course none of this could have anything to do with Islam or the prophet Muhammad, who reportedly said “Kill him who changes his religion”. (Recorded in hadith collections of both Bukhari and Abu Dawud. There is also a consensus by all four schools of Sunni Islamic jurisprudence (i.e., Maliki, Hanbali, Hanafi, and Shafi’i), as well as Shi’ite jurists, that apostates from Islam must be put to death). Nah, nothing to do with Islam, right Solkhar?

• Is the death penalty for apostasy in the Qur’an? Yes it is, sweet little Rifqa

Muslim family: Problems with Rifqa Bary began with laptop gift

Atlas Shrugs:  Dhimmi Orlando Sentinel Blames Rifqa’s Laptop “I was threatened by my dad, he took that laptop and waved it in the air and he was about to beat me with it…If you have this Jesus in your heart, you’re dead to me. You’re not my daughter” said Rifqa

Mohamed Bary is a doting Muslim father, intent on giving his daughter the best education he can. But he says he made a terrible mistake last October: He bought her a laptop computer.

Because of that laptop and access to the Internet, he says he lost his daughter to Christian extremists.

Fathima Rifqa Bary, 17, is 800 miles away, living with a Christian foster family in the Orlando area. She is a runaway who has become a cause célèbre among evangelical Christians. She fled Ohio last month, saying her father had threatened to kill her because she had converted to Christianity.

Not true, Mohamed Bary said.

Fitzgerald: “No, it’s not, sweet little Rifqa” or, The Obscene Condescensions of Salam Al-Marayati

“In an exercise of intellectual honesty it would have been appropriate to link to Salam Al-Marayati’s entire column instead of selecting one quote then launch into a rant. It would have been even more appropriate if Al-Marayati’s latest column on Rifqa Bary, your most recent ‘Let’s-Save-the-Muslim-Teen-Girl-From-the-Bloodthirsty-Muslims’ poster child (Mmm, it’s always teen girls, isn’t it?), was included.” — from a Jihad Watch poster here.

If what I had selected to discuss had been a passage ripped out of a context that endowed it with a meaning different from what it so clearly is, then this charge might, just might, have some validity. But the passage in question, that I chose to hold up for inspection, was not ripped out of such a context. It was, in fact, a perfect example of an attempt to deceive Infidel readers, the readers at the Huffington Post for whom Al-Marayati has such contempt. For he assumes they not only do not know, but will remain so permanently incurious as not to be moved to find out, the relevant contents of the Islamic texts — Qur’an, Hadith, and Sira — and the rulings of Muslim jurisconsults. His attempt to wrap-Islam-in-the-flag-of-American-patriotism is absurd, for in Islam Believers are inculcated with the clear idea that they owe their allegiance, their sole allegiance, to Islam, and to fellow members of the Umma.
