So why are they living here if they abhor our culture and lifestyle? Utterly stupid idiots. -

Re: "My mother hired a hitman to kill me..."It wasn't random evidence anyway, but if you want your evidence that it wasn't religion, she herself says that Islam means peace, and the article is about her being abused. So if she was blaming religion she wouldn't have said that, she blamed how it was interpreted, not how it is. Just because her parents believed that what they did was right religiously doesn't mean it was.(Original post by .eXe)
Back your claim up with some evidence relating to this event.
Don't pull random evidence from other incidents...use the information here in this story to back your claim up.
Because if you tell me that it's "always" the case that it's cultural then you are committing the hasty generalization fallacy. -

If Islam is just fully open to interpretation like that, then how do you know that the parent's interpretation was wrong? It would seem that they have as much chance of being right as anyone else if the book is open to interpretation like that? -

Re: "My mother hired a hitman to kill me..."If you don't know what's right or not, you can't blame religion. If the parents had the support of the Islamic community, then you could argue that religion was to blame, but seeing as they didn't it's more than likely that their interpretation wasn't right.(Original post by .eXe)

There is a reason why honour killings and **** like this pre-dominantly happens in Islam. You can't just ignore that... -

Re: "My mother hired a hitman to kill me..."Something like that would have been mentioned in the article. And besides, if that would have been the case then the local Imam would have been involved in the case, which he wasn't.
Honour killings don't happen in Islam, they happen in Islamic countries. There are no accounts of honour killings in the Qu'ran, they happen in those countries due to the culture. -

Re: "My mother hired a hitman to kill me..."It doesn't have to be in the Quran to be related to Islam you know. The Quran isn't some master book of everything.(Original post by Hummi_C)

There are a lot of things that are not in the Quran but are automatically linked to Islam...for example: niqab/hijab (which many muslims argue has nothing to do with the Quran as they are mentioned in the hadiths) -

Re: "My mother hired a hitman to kill me..."I suppose, but no matter where you look does it mention honour killings as being just; they happen due to clashes of culture.(Original post by .eXe)

Lol!(Original post by Kim-x)
I have no words for that... :/
For a moment I wondered if this was a title of a Jeremy Kyle story.
Unfortunately it's real.

Re: "My mother hired a hitman to kill me..."Naa why should I. There are more worthy people in the world that deserve my sympathy.(Original post by Dee Leigh)

Re: "My mother hired a hitman to kill me..."I do feel a bit sorry for her, but I feel glad that she managed she change her life around. It's hard. Things like that can have a detrimental effect on a person for the rest of their life, but she's now living the life she's dreamed about.(Original post by xXxiKillxXx)

I do admit though, the fact that she doesn't date Asian (or Muslim) men is a bit much...but I guess that's more of a subconcious thing as a result of her upbringing. -
