Rifqa to the rescue (OneNewsNow.com)

Ever wnder what hapened to the Muslim girl from Ohio who was fleeing her parents in fear of an "honor killing," which is happening more and more in America, as Islam grows and gains legitimacy. Honor killing is sanctioned in the religion of Islam through Sharia. Rifqa Bary survived and turned 18 last August. But now the attorney who defended her case pro-bono is being sued by the Muslim attorney in Ohio who defended her parents.

As previously reported by OneNewsNow, Islamic attorney Omar Tarazi of Ohio has filed a $10-million defamation of character lawsuit against Orlando attorney John Stemberger, as well as a grievance against him before The Florida Bar....

Now Stemberger says Bary has come to his aid by releasing her first public statement since she turned 18 years old last August."

She basically is outlining all the bad things that he did during the course of the case, which have not come out publically," Stemberger accounts. "So it's kind of inside pool on what actually took place. [She is] also thanking me publically for my contribution, pro-bono representation, as well as the other lawyers involved."Bary's affidavit also refutes several of the allegations Tarazi brought against the Orlando attorney in the bar complaint.

Somali Girl, 17, Shot to Death for Embracing Christ

"They will make you outcasts from the synagogue, but an hour is coming for everyone who kills you to think that he is offering service to God. 3 "These things they will do because they have not known the Father or Me.  John 16:2-3 2

It seems another young person, this time a 17 year old Somali girl, has been tortured, and then put to death in an "honor killing" by her parents for leaving Islam and embracing Christ.  Christian post reports that:

“Reports reached the relatives in Galgadud that Nurta Farah had converted to Christianity,” one source said. “The suspicion that the family is responsible is a solid one. The sister was killed in Abudwaq, a district in Galgadud Region, and the place where the incident took place is about 200 meters from where the sister was staying with relatives.”


Relatives buried Farah, sources said. Her parents had severely beaten her for leaving Islam and regularly shackled her to a tree at their home, Christian sources said. She had been confined to her home in Gedo region in southern Somalia since May 10, when her family found out that she had embraced Christianity, said a Christian leader who visited the area.

Another example of this "religion of peace."  But fortunately for Nurta, she found true peace, the only lasting, eternal peace.  And when she stand before her God, she will have the honor of her Lord Jesus Christ, who died for her, shed His own blood as a propitiation, for her sins. 

"And God made Him who knew no sin, to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in HIm."  2 Cor. 5:21
