"Rifqa Bary is the 17-year-old girl who fled from Ohio to Florida earlier this year to escape being killed by her Muslim father. What was Bary's crime? She converted to Christianity several years ago and kept her faith hidden from her Muslim parents.
"In Islam, converting to another religion is a capital offense punishable by death. Rifqa sought refuge in Florida at the home of a Christian pastor and his wife.
"Tragically, a Florida court ruled that Rifqa had to be returned to Ohio and put into protective care until she reached the age of 18. However, once she was in Ohio, all deals were off."
