This story comes to us from Undhimmi and details an account where a 17 year old Somali girl was habitually tortured by her muslim family for embracing Christianity and finally, the young girl was able to escape and find refuge with relatives. Not long after her escape, she was shot in the head and in the chest by two men - hmm....can anyone say, "honor killing?"
From the report:
A 17-year-old girl in Somalia who converted to Christianity from Islam was shot to death last week in an apparent “honor killing,” area sources said.
Nurta Mohamed Farah, who had fled her village of Bardher, Gedo Region to Galgadud Region to live with relatives after her parents tortured her for leaving Islam, died on Nov. 25. Area sources said they strongly suspected that the two unidentified men in Galgadud Region who shot her in the chest and head with a pistol were relatives or acting on their behest.
“Reports reached the relatives in Galgadud that Nurta Farah had converted to Christianity,” one source said. “The suspicion that the family is responsible is a solid one.
The sister was killed in Abudwaq, a district in Galgadud Region, and the place where the incident took place is about 200 meters from where the sister was staying with relatives.”
Relatives buried Farah, sources said. Her parents had severely beaten her for leaving Islam and regularly shackled her to a tree at their home, Christian sources said. She had been confined to her home in Gedo region in southern Somalia since May 10, when her family found out that she had embraced Christianity, said a Christian leader who visited the area (see “Family of 17-Year-Old Somali Girl Abuses Her for Leaving Islam,” June 15).
What this story reinforces is something basic about Islam - it is a perversion against nature. One of the strongest drives in nature, whether dealing with animals or humans, is the drive to protect your young. We have countless accounts of acts by fathers and mothers who have given their very lives to protect their children from harm - it is a basic of nature. But in Islam, we see how the brainwashing is complete - it is so pervasive that a father and/or mother will not only turn away from the protection of their offspring, they will literally hunt them down and kill them.
I profess here each and every day that Islam is NOT a religion - and so I ask once again...what "god" would seek a parent to murder his/her child? This isn't some test of faith - this is a commandment of protecting the honor of a fake god and fake prophet - this is about the ego of a madman from the 7th century.
A 17 year old girl is dead. Her family killed her. And her death sentence was simply sealed by her turning her back on an ideology of death and embracing a religion of life and love and forgiveness.
Teenage Girl Tortured and Shot Dead for Leaving Islam – by Her Parents
NAIROBI, Kenya, December 3 (CDN) — A 17-year-old girl in Somalia who converted to Christianity from Islam was shot to death last week in an apparent “honor killing,” area sources said.
Nurta Mohamed Farah, who had fled her village of Bardher, Gedo Region to Galgadud Region to live with relatives after her parents tortured her for leaving Islam, died on Nov. 25. Area sources said they strongly suspected that the two unidentified men in Galgadud Region who shot her in the chest and head with a pistol were relatives or acting on their behest.
“Reports reached the relatives in Galgadud that Nurta Farah had converted to Christianity,” one source said. “The suspicion that the family is responsible is a solid one.
The sister was killed in Abudwaq, a district in Galgadud Region, and the place where the incident took place is about 200 meters from where the sister was staying with relatives.”
Relatives buried Farah, sources said. Her parents had severely beaten her for leaving Islam and regularly shackled her to a tree at their home, Christian sources said. She had been confined to her home in Gedo region in southern Somalia since May 10, when her family found out that she had embraced Christianity, said a Christian leader who visited the area (see “Family of 17-Year-Old Somali Girl Abuses Her for Leaving Islam,” June 15).
Her parents also took her to a doctor who prescribed medication for a “mental illness,” he said. Alarmed by her determination to keep her faith, her father, Hassan Kafi Ilmi, and mother, Hawo Godane Haf, decided she had gone crazy and forced her to take the prescribed medication, but it had no effect in swaying her from her faith, the source said.
Traditionally, he added, many Somalis believe the Quran cures the sick, especially the mentally ill, so the Islamic scripture was recited to her twice a week.
She had declined her family’s offer of forgiveness in exchange for renouncing Christianity, the source said. The confinement began after the medication and punishments failed.
Area Christians had reported that Farah was shackled to a tree by day and put in a small, dark room at night.
Somalia’s Transitional Federal Government generally did not enforce protection of religious freedom found in the Transitional Federal Charter, according to the U.S. Department of State’s 2010 International Religious Freedom Report.
“Non-Muslims who practiced their religion openly faced occasional societal harassment,” the report stated. “Conversion from Islam to another religion was considered socially unacceptable. Those suspected of conversion faced harassment or even death from members of their community.”
The Messenger of Allah said, “Whoever changes his (Islamic) religion, kill him.” Al-Bukhari 6922
No matter what apologists for Islam may tell you, the penalty for apostasy for Muslims is death. Whether that’s a stranger, a friend – or a member of your family.
Male or female – Islam is an equal opportunity murderer when it comes to leaving Islam. Child or adult – age has no bearing whatsoever.
It doesn’t matter that this particular incident occurred in lawless, Islamist-controlled Somalia, either. It can and does happen in the West, too – the Islamic imperative to obey the will of Allah all too often triumphing over the risk of a life imprisoned.
Exactly what sort of belief system is it, that has at its heart such intolerance, darkness and intrinsic violence?

if you were any bit religous you would know to watch your mouth and let god deal with those who are wrong, you would know to respect othere religion, if you dont why would you even dare to expect it from them?
