Bary is a middle-class jeweler with no documented history of abuse and no record of radical actions or beliefs. Whatever his disagreements with Rifqa — and what parent of a teen hasn't had his or her share? — he obviously had invested a lot in her care and upbringing.

Yet last month — long after learning she had become a Christian — he suddenly decided to kill her over it.

And Rifqa had to flee for her life to the Lorenz family, whom she first met on Facebook. By coincidence, her flight apparently followed a confrontation with her mother over her coming home late.

Not content to just be rid of their apostate daughter, the parents immediately contacted police to bring her back so Mohamed could carry through with killing her. Mom and dad put on a good act, fooling the investigators, who reported they were like any typical, concerned parents worried about their daughter.

Obviously, this murder wouldn't be a whodunit. So Bary would wind up on death row, leaving behind a wife, sons and life he worked hard to build for his family in America.

Nobody would possibly believe such a scenario if not for the fact Bary is a Muslim.

I pretty got raked across the coals here on DU for suggesting that there was an anti-Muslim bias behind this.

1. I don't know enough about it...

but something doesn't seem right. I mean they have pictures of her cheerleading wearing normal teenaged girl style clothes. I would think if they were that hardcore, strict, extremist muslim they wouldn't have allowed any of those things.
