COLUMBUS, Ohio | A teenage girl who converted to Christianity and ran away from home is being blocked by her Muslim parents from fighting the possibility of deportation, her attorney told a judge Monday in an ongoing custody dispute.
Rifqa Bary, 17, who fled home last year and stayed with a Florida minister whom she met on Facebook, is an illegal immigrant and does not want to be returned to her native Sri Lanka because she fears being harmed or killed. All four major schools of Islamic jurisprudence recommend death as the penalty for conversion from Islam.
This from the "religion of peace".

I received the following in an email, the author is not known. The lesson from this will be self evident.
THE LETTER FROM HELL
One day a woman named Louise fell asleep in her bed, and dreamed
a very fitful dream. She dreamed that someone in Hell wrote a letter
to her, and it was to be delivered to her by a messenger.
The messenger passed between the lakes of burning fire and
brimstone that occupies Hell, and found his way to the door
that would lead him to the outside world. Louise dreamed that the
messenger walked to her house, came inside, and gently but firmly
woke Louise up. He gave her the message, saying only that a friend
had wrote it to her from Hell. Louise, in her dream, with trembling
hands took the letter and read:
My Friend, I stand in Judgment now,
And feel that you're to blame somehow.
On earth, I walked with you day by day,
And never did you point the way.
You knew the Lord in truth and glory,
But never did you tell the story.
My knowledge then was very dim;
You could have led me safe to Him.
Though we lived together on the earth,
You never told me of the second birth,
And now I stand this day condemned,
Because you failed to mention Him.
You taught me many things, that's true,
I called you "friend" and trusted you,
But I learn now that it's too late,
You could have kept me from this fate.
We walked by day and talked by night,
And yet you showed me not the Light.
You let me live, and love, and die,
You knew I'd never live on high.
Yes, I called you a "friend" in life,
And trusted you through joy and strife.
And yet on coming to the end,
I cannot, now, call you "My Friend."
Marsha
After reading the letter, Louise awoke. The dream was still so real in
her mind and sweat dropped from her body in pools. She swore she
could still smell the acrid smell of brimstone and smoke from her
room. As she contemplated the meaning of her dream, she realized
that as a Christian, she has failed in her duty to "go out to all the world
and preach the gospel." As she thought of that, she promised herself
that the next day, she would call Marsha and invite her to church with
her. The next morning she called Marsha and this was the conversation:
"Yes, Bill, Is Marsha there?"
"Louise, you don't know?"
"No, Bill, know what?"
"Marsha WAS KILLED LAST NIGHT IN A CAR ACCIDENT. I thought you had known."
Fellow Christian, is this your testimony? Are you witnessing to your
friends that you are with everyday? Or will there be a friend of yours
in hell, asking you why you did not tell them about JESUS?

Logical Expressions deals with nearly any topic. Some of the items are not necessarily topics that belong in our Baptist City Blog. Nothing you see there will be obscene or otherwise inappropriate, just items that fit better in a general blog rather than a venue that is intended to promote our Lord Jesus Christ.
Occasionally we post the same item in both blogs because it is very important.

The main stream media has been playing an interview with Stupak where he is complaining about harrasing phone calls. His wife has to turn the phone off at night because calls come at two in the morning. He claims they use words that neither he, his family or staff should have to hear. They threaten him. The media of course blames Republicans and the Tea Party.
The truth is that this interview and the calls were last week before he flipped his vote to the pro-death (abortion) position. Who do you suppose would have been threatening him at that time? Certainly not the pro-lifers! It was members of his own party.
The Obama administration plans to overhaul how it is tackling the foreclosure crisis, in part by requiring lenders to temporarily slash or eliminate monthly mortgage payments for many borrowers who are unemployed, senior officials said Thursday.
What gives The One the right to tell private business to nullify legal contracts and essentially give money away???
