Muslim Father Burns Christian Daughter to Death

SAUDI ARABIA: Father Burns Christian Daughter to Death

A Saudi man cut the tongue of his daughter and burned her to death for converting to Christianity, according to a report by the United Arab Emirates based Gulf News. The victim frequently wrote on various website blogs about her conversion from Islam. It is believed that she turned to Christianity after being exposed to its teachings on the internet and through Christian media.

Writing under the nickname of “Rania” just a couple of days before her murder, the girl wrote that her family members grew suspicious after she had a religious discussion with them and her brother found some of her Christian articles and a cross sign on her computer screen. Her father is a member of the Commission for Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, a powerful police unit commissioned to ensure the good moral behaviour of the citizens of Saudi Arabia.

“Many viewers in Saudi Arabia watch our Christian TV programs,” said Arab Vision’s international director. “We know this because a number of them contact us, and like ‘Rania’ want to know more about how they can follow Jesus Christ. It is very humbling to see how much they are willing to risk and sacrifice for the Lord.”

The Gulf News report explains that “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. 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.”

Sources close to the victim have said that the father is being investigated for “honour killing” rather than “murder”, because it is deemed that he had to “wash the shame of dishonour” on his family brought about by the unbecoming behaviour of the daughter.

A fine example of barbarity from the practitioners of Islam. In the words of Ali Sina:

Accept nothing short of the total eradication of Islam. This disease must be wiped out. There can’t be a moderate Islam just as there is no such thing as healthy disease or sensible insanity. Islam is extreme. To fight Islamic extremism you have to fight Islam. There is no middle ground. Either you eradicate Islam or Islam will eradicate you. The choice is yours.
