It appears the parents of the runaway muslim turned Christian girl are asking some very interesting questions.
For one they are asking why the girl had to run all the way to Florida and why a pastor was open to a minor running away to his location.
Another is how she could afford to get from Ohio to Florida without help.
Some very valid questions.
The fact that these questions are newsworthy has me asking some questions.
Would a case like this be getting media attention if say a 17 year old girl ran away and said she was afraid her strongly Christian father was going to beat her or kill her? Would that father even be given a chance to ask questions before he was arrested?
Wouldn't a girl saying she wasn't allowed to fully explore any religion she wanted to by her father be grounds enough for any abuse center or law enforcement agency to immediately accuse the father of abuse?
I am not denying that the father in this case has some valid questions. I am simply pointing out that this case seems to be getting extra attention and more equality in "protocol" because it is a Muslim family.
In a Christian setting all a 17 year old girl has to do is scream abuse and the father is arrested and charged for a hearing.
Or at least it seems that way to me.
I do seriously hope this case doesn't turn out to be some quack luring underage girls to his home and claiming to be a Christian pastor while doing so.
Well, sadly if things turn for the worst and she IS murdered, I bet the same media won't even report it.
ReplyDeleteI imagine you are correct there Amateur. :(
ReplyDeleteWell, it doesn't have to end in capitulation. That makes our job(s) important. The goal of the media is to make sure no one knows the outcome in such a case. We can easily change that by spreading the word once SOMEone finds out what happened, murder, lawsuit, or victory.
ReplyDeleteWe can beat this thing.
Yep and I will be on the look out for more follow ups.
ReplyDeleteLet me know if you hear of anything please.
They are most interesting questions to be asking. The other thing is that sometimes parents do make empty threats to scare their kids into things. Death is a rather severe one, though. We'll all be watching, then.
