Sydney - A teenage girl who wanted to convert from Islam to Christianity stabbed her parents after blindfolding them on the pretext of presenting surprise gifts, an Australian court heard on Thursday.
The girl's mother died in the attack - during which 17-year-old Kaihana Tahseen Hussain shouted "Die both of you now" - her father told Southport Magistrates Court.
Bangladesh-born Muhammad Hussain, 49, said that after he and his wife were blindfolded in their bedroom, he felt something penetrate his stomach, followed by the warm sensation of blood flowing from the wound.
"Then she told me: 'This is your surprise,'" he said.
Hussain said the attack came two days after his wife and daughter had returned from a trip to Bangladesh and during the Islamic observance of Ramadan, the national AAP news agency reported.
He told the court he heard his wife say: "Tahseen has stabbed me. She was screaming: 'I'm dying' in Bengali."
The girl twice shouted "Die both of you now" - once in English and a second time in Bengali, Hussain said.
"In response, I told her: 'What mistake we have done for us to die?'"
Disorientated and losing blood, Hussain said he went for help outside, struggling in the process with his daughter as he went to open the front door.
Under cross-examination by defence lawyer Dennis Lynch, Hussain said he was "very angry" his daughter planned to convert from Islam to Christianity and disapproved of her relationship with an Australian university student.
The teenager frequently broke down in tears while her father gave evidence.
The hearing to decide whether she should face trial will resume in October.
Such a tragic story!
I can't help but feel that such incidents could be avoided, if people were allowed to exercise their religious freedom ...
I wonder what kind of pressure that young girl was under to feel that killing her parents was her only escape route ...
I pray for peace and healing in this family.
Peace glo
Here I stand.
I can do no other.
May God help me.
Amen.

very bad, I know a case which happened close my neighborhood, the son was a drug addict, and he asked her mom for money, she didn't give him, and he stabbed here till she died.
what a tragedy a son/daughter to kill his parents. Astagfirullah
Shame. Perhaps her parents would have killed her for converting to Christianity therefore she got to them first. It happens all the time.
Do you have any knowledge on what type of people they were? Have you met them? Talked to them? Do you know what they were going to do that she was converting to christianity? What kind of person are you that you make these type of statements? Be more kind, killing parents is never, ever the choice. Yes, you can get away from them, or anything but not kill them. Your thoughts seems to be pretty rotten for a person like you who claims to be civilized.
SubhanAllah... That's just plain sick. Crazy girl, ya Allah save us from such madness.

Perhaps. But this is not the case and there's no reason whatsoever for us to get hypothetical and start commenting, "what if...". This is a tragic happening, similiar things happen too often for too many "reasons" around the world.
Ameen to all the duas...

Why did you delete Barney's post? It wasn't off topic... It was a good point.
England, stop acting like you know it all. You're far from it, and so is barney. You know what i said to him when i deleted his post? I said an Islamic State is required to apply Islamic law, and there is no Islamic State today as it's been Prophecised.
If you really want to act like you're some next level hero who 'knows it all', then give it up, cuz you're not doing a good job of it here.

Even if she had killed them both she probably would have been caught anyway, and since she was sobbing i'm guessing she wouldn't have been able to live with it. Moment of madness? Girls in general are too highly strung imo
You don't either init? Because the irony is that wherever you've thrown a claim which you copied and pasted from an anti islamic site, we refuted it and then you chose to run away. So i don't think it's me who's afraid of the challenge.
Regards.

Reason: sp.
Just trying to think of what she could have been thinking at the time.
I never can understand what could possibly enrage someone enough to make them kill someone else.
I think it's mentioned in the article that she knew of a guy in uni who probably was a christian, and he probably wanted her to become christian too since they had a relationship:
Hussain said he was "very angry" his daughter planned to convert from Islam to Christianity and disapproved of her relationship with an Australian university student.
So it's probably her feelings for the guy which made her do this, since we know that in Islaam a muslim woman can't get married to a non muslim man, and similarly in some christian denominations they can't get married to non christians. And Allaah knows best.

Just because there isnt Islamic State that is required to apply Islamic Law, doesnt really prevent people from trying to apply Islamic Law.

Why would anyone kill their parents simply because they want to convert to Christianity? What makes 17 year-old-girl whose father was "very angry" for her trying to leave Islam to act this way towards her parents?
Since its okay to assume that it was because of the boy who wanted her to turn to Christianity why this tragedy happened, I dont see why what Barney posted was deleted. What if she killed her mother and tried to kill her father because of how they wanted to apply Islamic Law and she felt really threathened? Why cannot we explore that possiblity aswell?
