Christian Teen Flees Home, Says She Fears Honor Killing by Muslim Father

From ABC News

An Ohio teenager who secretly converted from Islam to Christianity has fled to Florida because she claims her father threatened her with an "honor killing" for abandoning her Muslim upbringing. The girl's father has gone to Florida where she sought refuge with a church that she found online. Although the father insists he is not a menace to his daughter, a Florida court has placed the 17-year-old girl in foster care until her claims can be investigated.

Editor's Note: This story also popped up on several Christian sites, such as CBN.com, but I wanted to provide a mainstream article here.

i can see overlap between this article and the "MTD" discussion. this one sort of falls into the enforced conformity to worldview aspect of that discussion.

How can this be in this country of one "nation under God?"
