Fleeing Sharia Law in America?

The plight of an Ohio teen who fled her Muslim family for fear that her father would kill her for becoming a Christian should be a wake up call to those folks with the naïve "Coexist" bumper stickers.

Rifqa Bary, 17, who took a bus to Orlando in late July, is awaiting a Sept. 3 custody hearing that might send her back to her family, or to Sri Lanka, either of which she says would be a death sentence. In some Muslim circles, the penalty for leaving the faith or dallying with the wrong man is an "honor killing."

Beep..Wrong..
With Millions of Muslims living in North America, how often do you hear of them practising Shariaa law? Do you not think if the issue was as wide spread as you make it seem there would be as many Muslims killing people as there are Christian serial killers?

Muslims in Sri Lanka do not practise Shariaa laws, and Sri Lankan culture has no record of honour killings. The "coeexist" bumper sticker is better than the author's ignorace.

This is a case of a 17 year old who converted to Christianity at 12. She rana way from home because her mother shouted at her for coming home at 4 AM. I would like to see how non-muslims raise their teens. She ran away claiming her father was going to kill her. So the story is as simple as you make it, as anti-islamic as you want to see it.
