Saudi man cuts daughter's tongue, burns her to death

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."

A true martyr, not one of those demonic usurpers using the title.

The guy will likely get an award by the Saudi judiciary and assurances by the local imams that he is guaranteed to incur more blessings from Allah in heaven.

I am the father of two daughters, both of whom are Daddy's girls and have me completely wrapped around their little finger. This is just beyond imagination to me. I just can't fathom how any father could do this to a daughter.

That’s because you aren’t a Saudi inbred who had his last braincells burnt by the sun.

Yes.

A father doing this to his daughter is unthinkable.

Revelation 6

9 When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained. 10They called out in a loud voice, “How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until you judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood?” 11Then each of them was given a white robe, and they were told to wait a little longer, until the number of their fellow servants and brothers who were to be killed as they had been was completed.

An innocent Lamb is slaughtered. She will be part of the resurrection that is to come. Death and pain will no longer be.

Apparently a lot of muslims find it not only very thinkable, but quite doable as well.

Demons.

REAL Prophets climb mountains to be closer to God.

Mohammed crawled into a cave to hear the hissings of The Serpent.

You know, my reaction is totally inappropriate, but the plethora of similar stories about “small” atrocities all around the world, predominantly from Islami Salafism types, overwhelm one and one loses any sense of sorrow or compassion.

Comfortably numb, you might say.

And my reaction, LOL! What a father. What a mindset. And what coldbloodedness, to do this to your own flesh and blood.

What a testimony to the diktats and strictures that could even compel a man to conduct such a personal savage atrocity.
