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.
Who said I judged Islam? It's not Islam that matters. It's the actions of its people that matter There are alot of people from the middle east that are so radical they would kill for their religion. In some cases, their own families. You know that it's true. Whether it's "Islamic" is irrelevant. As you lot have said over and over again, it's the culture.
Pure crazyness, can't believe people are actually trying to justify her action
Nobody is trying to justify anyone's actions. I'm following the example of what alot of people have done here in the past. I'm looking at it from different angles. What was her motive for doing so? Was it that she hated her mother/father? Was it because she "loved a boy?" I know many lovers but I can't recall any killing their mother/father. Was it that she knew her family so well that she knew that her life was in danger afterall there are alot of incidents where the daughter is stoned to death for converting in the mid-east? Basically there's not enough information in that article to judge anything. Therefore nobody is in the right to make judgement. Only "Allah" knows laying:
Na Audhubillah, she obviously had no respect for her parents. I hope she learns her lesson and rethinks what she has done. And for those who are saying they probably wanted to kill her daughter, they would have kicked her out or killed her as quickly as possible. Instead the daughter did. You can't go through life making assumptions. Sorry but it wont take you very far, unless of course you want to be one of the corrupt.
*Without Allah, without Islam, life would be meaningless. If I've ever learned patience, it's because of this. Alhamdulillah...*

Kind of ironical that you make the assumption that she had no respect for her parents and learns her lesson when you really have no knowledge what the situation was, and why she acted the way she did.
Killing/trying to kill your parents means having respect for them? You find a less horrific way of dealing with the situation than attempting to finish off their life. If anything, its you guys making assumptions. Dont misinterpret my post, k thanx!

Agreed ^ so none of us need to make any assumptions right? Now that we've sorted that out, try to see who the first person was who made the first assumption on this thread.
lol the non muslims are so funny, and show themselves to be 2 faced hypocrites as usual, here you have a sick girl who wanted to become christian and she goes off and kills her parents like a savage, but the non muslims instead of just accepting it and condemning it they rather justify it and make excuses! oh yeah yeah they say nooo were not justifying it at all! sure your not, your all saying oh well we dont know her position, oh well maybe her parents were bad, oh well maybe her parents would kill her BLA BLA BLA more western hypocrisy.
if a muslim did this, not a single one of you non muslims would say oh well maybe the circumstances made him do that, you would be nagging and screaming evil muslim!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you wouldnt even care to look at the circumstances or anything, now when a non muslim does it they dont stop going on about ohhhhhhh maybe her circumstances made her do that! how laughable you non muslims are.

Well, you are again assuming, that she actually had anyother way of dealing with the situation. What is in the article, is mostly/only fathers side of the story. Only confirmed thing out of her is weeping.
I dont actually wish to guess who is at fault, because we simply dont know. Lets be honest, people can be monsters, some of them daughters, some of them parents.

We don't know the circumstances, so lets not speculate too much. All we do know is that killing her mother was wrong, regardless of the circumstances.
Period.
It is Allah, except Whom there is no God; the King, the Pure, the Giver of Peace, the Bestower of Safety, the Protector, the Most Honourable, the Compeller, the Proud; Purity is to Allah from all what they ascribe as partners (to Him)! Al-Quran 59:23
I said she could have dealt with it in a less horrific way. I never said she DID have one. Like I said, dont misinterpret, its really cheap.
Whats the point of trying to deal with it less horrific way if there isnt one?Like you said, you never said she DID have one.
You also seem to assume that she didnt actually try to deal with it different ways, maybe she tried hundreds of things, and this was just the last desperate attempt.
We simply dont know, so lets not assume she could have dealt it with less horrific way.
Surah Al-Hujjurat (Private Appartments) 49:6:
O you who believe! if an evil-doer comes to you with a report, look carefully into it, lest you harm a people in ignorance, then be sorry for what you have done.
I really am amazed at this thread, a girl killed her mom and so forth, and now we have a discussion about assumption, freedom of religion and so on.
There is reason to believe different views, I mean, she could have felt helpless, but then that would not explain her shouting of die to her parents, then again, she might have gone crazy due to the harrassment, or maybe her parents didnt bring her up properly, who knows?
I am sure there's better things we could discuss?
The path is long but I hope we meet,
After the grave and the Day, in paradise in bliss upon a reclined seat.
A traveler traveling - travelled from shirk to tawheed,
If I'm remembered for anything - let it be the Mercy I seek.
