    That’s pretty fucked up if your own mother wants you dead just because you’re not wearing religious attire.

    It’s like a Christian mother saying she hopes her daughter dies because she refuses to wear a cross necklace.

      As a parent I just cannot fathom having those radical ideals AGAINST my own children.

        Right? I don’t understand why some people put their beliefs before their kids/family (assuming you had a decent relationship). Like why is it some ancient text is more important than your kid.

      I know many who’s parents lost their damn shit over something as simple as a butterfly tattoo on an ankle. You’d think they killed a person and the family was praying for mercy. All cause of “religious” indoctrination.

      Maybe not the same and certainly not as severe, but just as problematic for confused young adults.

      There’s literally a thing called “honor killings” in some parts of the world. I wish I was joking but wishing someone to die is better than what some people might do.

        Yeah, there have been some highly publicised honor killings (or honor murders) here in Sweden, though it was many years ago when I last heard about it.

      Apostasy is taken extremely seriously in Islam.

      Removing her hijab is seen as a declaration of apostasy.

        No it isn’t. The hijab is supposed to be a choice, which some people fail to recognize sadly

      The Koran doesn’t just tell you how to live. It is constantly describing how the good people behave and how the bad people behave. It’s set up like a constant war. And where the Bible rarely actually mentions hell, the Koran is unambiguous that the bad people will be burned and then their skin restored so they can be burned again, eternally. It’s very black and white, all or nothing. This mother isn’t freaking about the clothing. She’s freaking about her daughter being a “bad person.” And mom has to not only not be bad herself, she has to persecute and run from the bad person. It’s fucked up. Read it sometime.

        Revelations is pretty brutal but your point stands. The ancient Jews either had an afterlife and it was very vague or they had none. It wasn’t until well into the common era that people started working on the dreamlogic. Islam came last so I imagine it got to grab it.

      You don’t think those exist? Might be fringe now, but just wait…
