Fears held for Christian convert
The husband and friends of an Iranian woman missing from Dandenong for almost a month fear she has been abducted by Muslim hardliners because of her attempts to convert Muslims to Christianity.
Mandy Ahmadi disappeared from her home on the afternoon of December 16, taking her phone but leaving her handbag, money and credit cards.
Her husband, two sons, and other relatives – including a brother released from a detention centre five days later – have heard nothing since.
The Ahmadis, themselves refugees from Iran, arrived in Australia in 1999.
Both were Muslims but Mrs Ahmadi converted to Christianity five years ago and her husband, Nathan, a year later. They co-founded an agency four years ago with the Cornerstone church in Dandenong to help refugees.

I was initially surprised to read about the fear of Mrs. Ahmadi being kidnapped by ultra-Muslims, given that she resides in Australia where freedom of religion (sometimes translated also to be freedom FROM religion) is part-and-parcel of the law.
But given what has happened in the US (the case of Rifqa Barry, who had to flee from her parents home in OH to FL–due to her parents calling for her murder; also several grotesque "honour-killing" murders, especially that of Aasiya Zubair Hassan in 2009 by her husband Muzammil), I should not have been.
-DevasahayamWestern societies cannot investigate fully until they have more facts in missing person cases. Knowing they were Muslims formerly, should send up a red flag. Over 30 years ago, I had Libyan friends who harassed my roommate, when they found out

I have cousins who are half Syrian, whose father remained a Muslim to his death. Now, I would not tell Muslims about them.
Death is the punishment of apostate Muslims, even their innocent children. The recent "Santa Claus" murders in Texas, was
an estranged Muslim husband who killed his wife, children, in-laws, & himself, due to his daughter dating non-Muslims.
Such an evil religion is this Islam that one might expect resposible western govt.s would be doing something to reduce its influence, e.g. making more readily available information about its dangers to society.
-Bud MacGuireAs weak as the authorities are in response to these throwbacks I fear that this sort of disappearence will become more frequent. I am surprised that any media have covered the disappearence at all, Our only hope to protect fellow Earthlings is for a general awakening of the masses …….. that ; however will only occur if we turn to The Eternal Sovereign. That, though seems highly unlikely given the preoccupation with hedonistic and self absorbing activities and thought.
