That's right, she would be wise to take the threat seriously. It's a huge thing for them to reject their religion.

Nothing to fear at all, they probably don't subscribe to those radical beliefs...of course if her father starts planning a family trip out of the country, it might be different.
| Where? Back to Sri Lanka where there aren't many Muslims, and Sharia law is as illegal as it is here?
Just because someone has dark skin doesn't mean they come from a country which makes it illegal to convert to Christianity.

I don't doubt the seriousness....but if she was in fear for her life, WHY post it on Facebook of all places?
-----Added 8/13/2009 at 03:45:04 EST-----
I don't doubt the possibility of being coached either...it happens. Think of all the kids who thought Satan was after them just from hearing Mike Warnke.
May the truth come forth and I pray the Lord's protection on this young girl.

In the Toronto area last year we had a Muslim Parent kill their daughter for associating with Jamaicans. He felt that she had ""betrayed"" the family's honour. How would a Muslim parent react to a child converting to Christianity?
I would rather err on the side of caution on this one.

I didn't watch the clips, but have NO doubt that it is true.
