Please read and send a copy immediately to the Governors office for immediate attention. Cry out for the oppressed and may the Lord touch and protect Rifqa Bary who dare come to Christ in a supposed free land that her own father came to for freedom. Honor killings are a very serious and real part of Islamic culture regardless of the country they live in.

Subject: Rifqa Bary, 17 year old whose life is threatened.

Dear Governor Crist,

As a concerned citizen and one that has just returned from Pakistan and has provided training and support for U.S Military for twelve years I humbly ask you to intervene on behalf of Rifqa Bary, a 17 year old girl whose parents are from Sri Lanka and came to the Untied States for freedom but under the guise of Islam would deny that for their own daughter and possibly according to her, even threaten her life for converting to Christianity from Islam.  She is currently in your great state of Florida and facing the possibility of being forced to go back to Ohio were she fears certain reprisal due to her faith in Christ. I have witnessed first hand the plight of any who would dare follow the Christian faith in many Islamic countries and worked with the State Department on the establishment of a panel on religious persecution and have worked in this arena for twenty years testifying before congress on issues such as “honor” killings and the open persecution by governments and or citizenry of Islamic countries that make conversion from Islam to any other religion a crime punishable by death. I just finished an assessment of two villages in Pakistan that were subject to planned attacks by a radical  and outlawed Islamic group (SSP) who systematically burned, raped and looted over 150 Christian homes over an alleged accusation that paper containing Quranic verses we thrown on the ground. This accusation was later proven to be false but the devastation caused by the mobs and allowed as the police and local authorities withdrew is appalling. I felt helpless as my team toured the destruction and witnessed the people living in the streets with no shelter.  To think that this same pressure could be exerted against a 17 year old teenager whose parents came to this country for freedom is reprehensible, to convey it mildly and outrageous at best. I have deep respect for your governance and your commitment to the core values that frame this nation and the great state of Florida. Please inquire and intervene, not simply for a teenager but for the very values of freedom and dignity that are the foundational stones of what the United States of America is to all those who look from foreign shores to a “shining city” that continues to be a beacon of hope to the oppressed of the world.

Sincerely,
Kevin J Turner

Please take a few minutes and stand up for the very people who came to the help of Christians after being burned alive by Muslim mobs in Gojra and Korian villages in Pakistan. For those of you who have not heard. Muslim mobs descended on two Christian villages in organized and pre-planned attacks, burning, looting, raping and now we are finding out, kidnapping 30 young girls who have been missing since the attacks.
Strategic world Impact has just returned from a fact finding mission to this very area and has been actively supporting both Christians and Muslims in Pakistan for twelve years. From providing for housing after devastating earth quakes, refugee support and education, we have assisted and stood with the people of Pakistan. The recent attacks in Pakistan against Christians while horrific, is not an isolated incident with four attacks similar to these mentioned taking place in the last four months. Militant Islamic groups are responsible for almost three thousand acts of terror in the past twelve months throughout Pakistan. While not all these attacks have been directed towards Christians, we would be remiss if we did not point out that Christians are constantly under attack via the system in Pakistan as well as the militant population that continues to single out any who dare follow Jesus Christ. Weather the court system or the tribal system some of the most persecuted people in the world are the Christian citizens of Pakistan. They are not responsible for blowing up Hotels, Schools or Mosques and have never targeted the government nor government entities other than to have prayer meetings or peaceful protests. Under the current laws of Pakistan the 295 b and c laws have been used to terrorize and imprison any Christians who would prosper in business or any other venue of life. Any dispute between Muslims and Christians that would favor the Christian will instantly turn to an accusation of defamation of Mohammed or the Koran and in one case even the image of Mohammed’s feet as a baby, printed on stickers that fell to the ground when Muslims attacked a Christian boy and while beating him, their sticker of Mohammed’s feet dropped in the dirt thus paving the way for this young man to be charged under the present laws of Pakistan. Muslims through these stickers in the trash when they are done with them but if a Christian had one of them in his trash he would be put in prison with a death sentence. After seeing these incidents first hand over the years I take comfort in Gen. 18:25 “shall not the judge of all the earth do right”!

Now more than ever the Church needs to lift the lamp of Liberty through Jesus to a world wracked in turmoil and laden with refugees. The words of Emma Lazarus ring with prophetic tone for this world gone awry and reeling under the weight of sin.


The New Colossus

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,

With conquering limbs astride from land to land;

Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand

A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame

Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name

Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand

Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command

The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.

"Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she

With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,

Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,

The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,

I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
