Rifqa Bary, a young woman of 17 who secretly converted to Christianity against her Muslim parents' wishes, has been in and out of contentious court hearings for months, first in Florida and now in Ohio. Rifqa has so far refused to renounce her Christian faith, despite threats against her life. She is being held by the State of Ohio, and is not allowed to have visits or phone calls from friends and supporters.
Pamela Geller at Atlas Shrugs has been standing up for Rifqa and, by doing so, asserting that, in the United States, residents of the United States must enjoy freedom of religion. Pamela has asked Rifqa's supporters to send Rifqa a Christmas card at her attorney's address.
Send your card here:
Rifqa BaryJuveniles held in detention for committing crimes are permitted to receive Christmas mail from well wishers. Will Rifqa, who has committed no crime, be permitted to receive your Christmas card? Can't promise that:

In a stunning development in the ongoing legal saga of Muslim-turned-Christian convert Rifqa Bary, the parents' attorney, Omar Tarazi, filed a motion with the Franklin County courts last week moving to ban on all Christmas cards being sent to Rifqa through her attorneys, and demanding the seizure from her of all Christmas cards that she might have already received.
