Send Rifqa Bary a Christmas Card

'Tis the season, but the CAIR attorney for Ms. Bary's parents (who claim to "respect" her choice in religion) has decided that Christmas cards to Rifqa are propaganda.

Barbarossa from My Pet Jawa appears to have a mole inside CAIR. I’ll bet they’re turning the place upside down by now looking for the leak.

Said mole reported:

the parents’ attorney, Omar Tarazi, filed a motion with the Franklin County courts last week moving to ban 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. And yet her parents still make representations to the media that they intend to honor and respect her Christian faith, while their attorney files sealed motions stating that Christmas cards are “dangerous to her health and safety”.

This news and a copy of the motion were provided to me from a source inside CAIR, who noted that CAIR has raised funds for the Bary’s legal jihad to have the courts return the 17 year-old to her allegedly abusive Muslim family. According to affidavits filed in the case, Rifqa states that her father threatened to kill her for leaving Islam, which prompted her to flee her Ohio home and take refuge with a pastor and his family in Florida. In an interview with Florida investigators, her father admitted to the incident, but denies threatening her life. The family also attends the terror-tied Noor Islamic Cultural Center in the Columbus area. Both she and the ongoing legal case have since been transferred from Florida back to Ohio.

Since posting this information, the blogger has been accused of making this story up. So he has posted Attorney Tarazi’s motion:

IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, FRANKLIN COUNTRY, OHIO DIVISION OF DOMESTIC RELATIONS AND JUVENILE BRANCH

IN THE MATTER OF:

FATHIMA RIFQA BARY,

AN ALLEGED DEPENDENT CHILD

Case No. 09 JU 11 14895

Judge: GILL

Magistrate: GOODRICH

MOTION TO ENJOIN COUNSEL FROM PASSING MESSAGES OF THIRD PARTIES DIRECTLY TO THE MINOR CHILD

Wherefore, now come Mohamed Bary and Aysha Risana Bary, the parents of Fathima Rifqa Bary, by and through counsel, Omar Tarazi, and move the Court to enjoin Fathima Rifqa Bary’s attorneys from passing messages of third parties directly to the minor child without the approval and supervision of Franklin County Children Services; Petitioner moves the court to order Fathima Rifqa Bary and her attorneys to turn over all such communications in their possession or control to FCCS; that third party adults are not to be allowed to communicate with Fathima Rifqa Bary until an approved list is determined by FCCS after consultation with all parties. This motion is supported by the attached memorandum of law.

Omar Tarazi (0084165)

If you scroll down that post you’ll see this attorney’s “MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT” of his filing.

By the way, he’s a local Columbus Ohio attorney, this Tarazi. He wouldn’t be on the case except for CAIR’s deep pockets.

I believe he also belongs to the same Noor “Cultural Center” as do this girl’s parents, though the Google search information was tenuous.

What’s the problem with Christmas cards? If Dad is so willing to let this “child” practice her religion why are the attorneys threatened by Christmas cards? But that’s CAIR for you. No end of double-talk and double-dealing. The fact that they’re involved speaks volumes for this farce, this potential death sentence on a seventeen year-old girl.

You want to send a Christmas card anyway?

You can. Until December 22nd, when the next court hearing begins, no ruling will be made on this motion. Meanwhile, Ms. Bary remains unable to speak to or receive any communication from those not on her approved list. As far as I can tell, it’s a very short list: Mummy, Daddy, maybe Brother? I hope the guardian ad litem talks to her.

Here’s the address, with zip code corrected:

Rifqa Bary
c/o Angela Lloyd
255C Drinko Hall
55 West 12th Avenue
Columbus, OH 43210

Ms. Lloyd appears to be Ms. Bary’s guardian ad litem and will be the one receiving the cards. I’d suggest a return address so you’ll know if Ms. Bary ever gets her greeting.
