My Mother Hired A Hitman To Kill Me: The Shocking Story Of A Muslim Woman Whose Parents Disapproved Of Her Western Lifestyle

By Sofia Hayat

03rd September 2009 Ordeal: Sofia Hayat [Pic in URL] was imprisoned and her mother threatened to kill her because she led a Western lifestyle.

The text message forwarded to me from my younger sister Saira was concise and chilling: 'Mum's sent a hit man to kill you,' it read. 'Be careful.'

As I read those words, my first instinct wasn't fear or even shock, but simply survival.

I'd become accustomed to behaviour like this from both my parents - behaviour that anyone else would find abhorrent - and I was emotionally numb to their threats.

But I also knew that my sister's warning was deadly serious and my life was in real danger. I'd been in hiding for several weeks when I received the text.

I was born in Gravesend in Kent in 1974 and brought up there in a devout Muslim family with three sisters and two brothers.

the last bit of the article.......in the end, this is HER claim:

“I blame the fact that Islam has become so distorted and warped. I don’t believe that the Muslim religion condones any sort of violence; Islam literally means ‘peace’.

The greeting from one Muslim to another - ‘aasalamolaykom’ - means: ‘Peace be with you.’ If only people would actually read the Koran for themselves, they would see the love and peace it radiates and the equality among men and women it promotes.”

I felt bad for this girl all the way to the end of the article. How can she say that Islam is a peaceful religion, but people are misinterpreting the Koran? There are passages in the Koran that tell people to harm those that don't believe in Allah... The Taliban are doing EXACTLY what the Koran is telling them to do.

Ohhhhh, now I get it... Yeah, the Taliban are pretty peaceful.

Just ask her one simple question. Was Muhammad a peaceful man?

He wrote the Koran. If he wasn’t peaceful, how can the Koran be?

At least Christians and Buddhist who say that violence distorts their religion have a leg to stand on, the founders of both of those religions were actually peaceful to the extreme. Muslims who try to steal the same line just don’t have any legs to stand on.

Islam doesn’t mean peace at all, and anyone who says it does doesn’t have a good grasp of the languages or is trying to deceive.

The more accurate translation of “Islam” is submission.

I will NOT submit.
