Rifqa Bary Free - Unless Obama Demands Her Deportation

Christmas arrived early this year for this brave, young ex-Muslim convert to Christianity. Judge Mary Goodrich in Columbus, Ohio, has just decided that Rifqa, who will turn eighteen in five days, does not have to return to her family (all of whom are here illegally from Sri Lanka).

Goodrich also said its not in the girls best interest to return her to her native Sri Lanka. Bary is (also) an illegal immigrant. The ruling allows her attorneys to file for a special immigration status to allow her to stay in the U.S. while she continues medical treatment following recent surgery for uterine cancer.

Without going into details, allow me to note that this decision is a triumph of committed pro bono lawyering. Rifqa is both young and poor; nevertheless, she found a legal team able and willing to represent her for no money indeed, to go up against a legal team funded (and/or morally supported) by CAIR, the Council on American Islamic Relations.

Rifqa, like our earliest founding ancestors, will now be able to freely practice her chosen religion. She converted from Islam to Christianity. This is a capital crime among Muslims and could lead to her death, either at the hands of her own family or at the hands of any righteous Muslim. Rifqas lawyers have defended her right to convert to Christianity without having to die for her choice.

#1 This girl ought to be protected from a criminal and terrorist conspiracy (islam). Her life is in danger. Put her in the witness protection program. We put all sorts of others such as drug dealers, snitches, gang members, etc. in the protection program.

Thought this girl was diagnosed with cancer awhile back?

#2 I missed it--she was operated on for cancer.
