Christians throughout America have fallen in love with Rifqa Bary, the young and courageous former Muslim who has risked her life by converting to Christianity and daring to expose Islam for the violent, intolerant religion that it is. Yesterday, she made it to her critical 18th birthday and her parents' rights to having any say in her life.
Get the latest on her legal battles, via Big Peace:

Rifqa is a true testament and inspiration to other young Muslims that Freedom of Religion is a principle that supports the freedom of an individual to believe as they choose.
Unless,of course, those young Muslims choose to continure to be Muslim. THEN, if the Religious Rightwingnuts had their way, the young Muslims would forfeit their right to believe as they choose!
DiogenASS: if the Religious Right had their way, they would convince young muslims that cutting off the ears and noses of young girls or whipping and shooting a pregnant women in the head is not a religion of peace and mercy.
America has reached a sick precipice when teachers make excuses for this kind of barbaric behavior.
Atheist that come in direct contact with children need to have a Psychiatric examination before ever being allowed to teach or instruct any child.
Go ahead and convince anyone of anything you choose, AnonyMouse. You have that right... even if you don't have the ability.
Is it really that difficult for you to understand that there's a difference between (a) allowing people to believe whatever they choose to believe and (b) actually believing what they believe? Actually,now that I phrased it that way, I think I may have stumbled across your real problem, AnonyMouse: You CANNOT understand the difference between those two very different stances. What you believe is what you think everybody else should be compelled to believe.
DiogenASS: allowing someone to believe as the choose doesn't give them the right to torture and kill in the name of what they believe.
There is a humanity and decency factor involved, moron!
AnonyMouse, you're just THAT stupid, aren't you? Nobody -- certainly not me -- said it was OK to kill or torture.
Well, OK, Dick Cheney said it, but that was in a different context.
