I pulled my head out of schoolbooks and lesson plans this morning to read this article of Rifqa Bary, a sixteen-year-old who ran away from Ohio to Florida in order to escape an honor killing for getting baptized. The Youtube video linked from FoxNews is truly heart wrenching:
I just want to give that girl a hug! Poor child! Please pray for Rifqa - that no matter where she goes she will be safe and protected.
You can read more about Rifqa and her juvenile case at Atlas Shrugs, which is a great site for information but is very mature due to its frankness regarding honor killings and such. (That means children can't go there, D and S.)

It is so sad that this could happen in America.
Yes, it is.
