Her crime? Converting to Christianity. "Saudi man kills daughter for converting to Christianity," by Mariam Al Hakeem for Zawya, August 13:
Riyadh: A Saudi man working with the Commission for Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice recently killed his daughter for converting to Christianity.
According to sources close to the victim, the religious police member had cut the tongue of the girl and burned her to death following a heated debate on religion.
The death of the girl sent shockwaves and websites where the victim used to write with various nick names have allocated special space to mourn her, while some others closed temporarily in protest.
According to the Saudi Al Ukhdoud news website, the victim wrote an article on the blog of which she was a member under the nickname "Rania" a few days before her murder.Interesting choice of names. Was she inspired by Jordan's "hip" queen Rania -- the woman devoted to proving to the world that, among other things, honor/apostate killings are totally alien to Islam? Wonder who knows Islam better: the Saudi father (and member of the Commission for "Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice"), or shoulder-exposing, Western educated Rania (the queen, not incinerated girl)?
"She wrote that her life became an ordeal after her family members grew suspicious about her after a religious discussion with them.
She said that her brother found some Christian articles written by her as well as a cross sign on her computer screen. Since then he started to insult her and blamed the internet for pushing her to change her religion.
The "Free Copts" website published a message which it received from a friend of the victim, revealing that the killer is in police custody and that he is being investigated for an honour related crime.
Saudi religious scholars have frequently warned against the dangers of Christian internet websites and satellite TV channels which attract Muslim youngsters to change their religion.Odd how one never hears Christian societies warning Christians from watching Muslim programs lest they convert in droves. Indeed, willing conversion is usually the last thing those who begin honestly searching into Islam are ever in danger of.
They decreed that watching these channels or browsing these websites which call for conversion to Christianity by various means is against the teachings of Islam.
True that. The Islamic prophet did decree, "Whoever leaves his religion, kill him."
OPINION:
A twisted, dark version of “peace” that I just don’t recognize as peaceful.
That’s right. The Internet made her do it, not her murderous father and fanatical brothers.
Islam-list
If people want on or off this list, please let me know.
Merciful god, may her soul be welcomed into heaven with all the holy saints and martyrs. And may her example be a means of converting others.
She lived in a Demonic spciety ruled by the Followers of Satan.
God Damn the Saudis for what they really are - no better than Russians.
There are more than a few in the United States who want to elect a muslim President. The answer to your second question is yes.
Bbbut haven’t we been told that “islam is a religion of peace”?
In short, the Saud family religious Gestapo.
Charming.
It is a sad state that the world seems to starting to become. So much hatred and anger is being brought onto Christians, the non-radical Muslims, and the peoples who believe in freedom and a free nation in which to live. Almost makes me sick to my stomach, especially when I hear things like this.
Looks like my only job is to go out and convert the heathens, funny part is I live withing a few blocks of the biggest mosque in Chicago.
And just because some Bible quotes seem relevant.
Jesus wept. (John 11:35)
From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force. (Matt. 11:12)
Blessed be the Lord my Rock, who trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle. (Psalm 144:1)
