**Fathima Rifqa Bary: Runaway Ohio teen goes back to court on Thursday:**

Fathima Rifqa Bary, the Ohio teenager who has become a cause célèbre among evangelical Christians for running away from her Muslim family, returns to an Orlando courtroom today.

A judge must decide whether her father -- or anyone else in Ohio -- poses a threat to her.

Meanwhile, Ohio child welfare officials have already concluded it's safe for Rifqa to return. They want to place the girl in therapy and reunite her with her family.

That, however, may not be the conclusion of Florida officials who have had to deal with a flood of e-mail and reaction from thousands of people, many of them including anti-Muslim sentiments, who say the runaway is a hero.

Gov. Charlie Crist has received more than 9,000 e-mails about the runaway, his office said.

For the past two weeks, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement has been investigating whether there are any credible threats to Rifqa, 17, a native of Sri Lanka. Agents will present their findings today, something that could signal what happens next.

If they conclude no threats exist, Circuit Judge Daniel Dawson could send the girl back to Columbus, Ohio, where her parents have agreed to place her in foster care for at least a month.

If agents conclude Rifqa is in danger, the judge could leave her here in foster care, her status since Aug. 10 when another judge ordered her temporarily into the care of the Florida Department of Children and Families.

No matter what FDLE says, Rifqa will fight to stay here until next August, when she turns 18, said her attorney, John Stemberger, a conservative Christian activist. He said Rifqa is in a stable home with a Christian foster family and is happy.

If she is returned to Ohio, he has said, it's just a matter of time until she disappears or is killed.

Rifqa says her father became enraged, confronted her about becoming a Christian and threatened to kill her earlier this summer.

Later, on July 17, Rifqa says her mother discovered a Christian book in the house, challenged her "and told me I was going to have to be sent back to Sri Lanka to be dealt with."

Two days later Rifqa ran away.

Her father, Mohamed Bary, 47, a jeweler and Amway distributor, says he never threatened Rifqa, loves her, wants her back and will allow her to practice whatever religion she chooses.

Eric Fenner, executive director of Franklin County Child Services in Columbus, Ohio, said Wednesday that his agency has investigated the girl's complaints and believe she can safely return home.

"We think by getting the family with a therapist ... hopefully, we can salvage this family," he said.

Rifqa is expected at today's hearing. Her parents are not.

Stemberger filed paperwork on Monday, alleging that the mosque attended by Rifqa's family is home to terrorists and Muslim extremists. He is expected to make the same argument today.

The mosque, Noor Islamic Cultural Center, issued a statement Wednesday to say those allegations are lies and that hate groups are using Rifqa's case to attack Muslims.

Rifqa boarded a bus to Orlando and sought refuge with husband-and-wife pastors Blake and Beverly Lorenz of Global Revolution Church. She met Beverly Lorenz through a prayer book page on the Internet social network site Facebook.

Although Rifqa's family was searching for her and had filed a missing persons report with Columbus police, the Lorenzes kept her for two weeks without notify authorities.

FDLE will not say whether the Lorenzes are under investigation. It is a crime in Florida to shelter an unmarried juvenile for more than 24 hours without the consent of her parents or notifying authorities.

The Lorenzes say they were trying to protect a frightened teenager who was convinced her life was in jeopardy.

Are you kidding me? Did you just say, "Why do Egyptian Christians HATE muslims?"

Do you even listen to the news? Egyptian Muslims are slaughtering Egyptian Christians ALL THE TIME!

Do you physically run into people with those blinders on?

Not to mention, Muslims are giving the entire world MANY reasons to hate them. Pull your head out of your ass man, Muslims aren't ALWAYS the victim.

thanksMr. Walid for some infos. Rifqa is a very smart girl. She knows how to escape in that kind of situation. She's finally out of Islam, a non-loving religion to non muslims. She can worship God through singing, praising & praying right w/o hating her enemies but praying for her family, w/ Jesus she is obligated to pray for her family esp. her father that they will come to know the real God that would not lead them to murder their own daughter anymore but love her w/ an unconditional love..

[mon69alejo]

Praise the Lord! I now know in islam, honor killing is greater than love to family to your wife, children, parents of friends. Islam is not from God, in the bible God is love is there a verse written in qur'an that says God is love? I really praise God, for His love & mercy that He share toward us. God bless you all!!

[JesusChristAboveAll]

It is good to hear that she was still alive after 4 years. May God keep her alive in this world. Oh, if they kill her, she will be a martyr for Christ, but how much more good she will do, if she lives on able to testify to others.

[bestinfadel]

The definition of a "PEACEFUL MUSLIM" is -- A snake in the grass waiting for it's opportunity to strike.

@Fattboy26

Well. Put.

[Fattboy26]

muslims understand civilized people do not and will not tolerate an ideology that denigrates people that don't believe a 7th century pedo is a prophet, one the discriminates against women and minorities, one that has a separate law in treating people, one that treats others as second class, we abhor stonings, honour killings, terrorism and all that goes with islam. You are victims of your own cult and mindset. Don't blame other that need to protect themselves from you.

[Fattboy26]

@Illumirage

muslims are rarely the victims and when they are its usually in response to their aggression. Here is a thing for you muslims to think about but I know you. Imagine the Christian Church adopted sharia law against islam how then would you feel? If you think oh shit that would be bad well think how others feel.
