Muslims Stab each other

A GOLD Coast Muslim teenager, accused of fatally stabbing her mother and trying to kill her father, blamed them for stopping her from moving to Sydney with her boyfriend and converting to Christianity, a court has heard.
Kaihana Tahseen Hussain, now 20, has pleaded not guilty in the Supreme Court in Brisbane to the murder of her mother, 41-year-old Shaheda Hussain, and the attempted murder of her father, Dr Muhammad Hussain, now 52, at Southport on the evening of October 9, 2006.
On the first day of her trial, Crown prosecutor Michael Byrne SC told the court Hussain called her parents into their bedroom and blindfolded them, saying she had surprise gifts for them.
He said Dr Hussain would give evidence she then used a 20cm knife to stab each of them once in the torso.
"He'll tell you that while he was standing in the bedroom he felt something penetrate into his chest or stomach area and he felt a warm sensation,'' Mr Byrne said.
He said while Dr Hussain and his wife were both bleeding profusely, their teenage daughter mocked them.
"She said something to the effect, 'Die both of you now','' Mr Byrne said.
He told the court the "deliberate and violent attack'' was the culmination of Hussain's anger at her parents over their perceived strictness.
The Crown is alleging she attacked her parents because she wanted to convert from Islam to Christianity and move to Sydney with her boyfriend.
However, during his opening, defence barrister Dennis Lynch said Dr Hussain was responsible for the attack.
"The defence case is that Kaihana Hussain did not do any of the stabbing ... it was her father,'' he said.
Mr Lynch implored the jury to critically assess Dr Hussain's testimony, arguing there were discrepancies between what he claimed had occurred and other evidence.
He said Dr Hussain's DNA was found on the knife handle, while there was no forensic evidence his daughter had touched it.
Mr Lynch also said Dr Hussain had denied knowing what had happened to the knife, but that his footprint was found in a pool of blood directly outside the kitchen cupboard where the weapon was discarded.
"There is a powerful argument that he had possession of the murder weapon,'' he said.
"We say that's because he was the one that did the stabbing.''
Mr Lynch said Dr Hussain had also made what appeared to be a confession while he was in hospital being treated for his injuries.
"While he was there, he said words to the effect: 'The daughter did this to me because I hurt the mother (and) I'll have to pray five times a day for what I've done','' Mr Lynch said.
"The credibility of Dr Hussain when he says his daughter is the stabber is the crux of this case.''
