Muslim Family In Tennessee Charged With Beating Son For Converting To Christianity: Police

 A Muslim family in Tennessee was arrested this week for allegedly beating a family member for converting to Christianity.

The Metro Nashville Police Department responded to a welfare check on Monday and discovered a juvenile family member who was “cut haphazardly” on his face with lumps and bruising, according to a report from Fox 17 Nashville.

The victim, whose age and name were not given, told law enforcement that he was attacked because he recently became a Christian. Police said in the arrest warrant that the family members were all Muslim.

“The victim told officers his mother, brother and father repeatedly punched him and spat in his face,” the report said. “Arrest records show his mother then took a knife and scratched the back of his right hand with it.”

The victim told police that the attack did not stop until they arrived at the house for the welfare check. Police performed the welfare check after they were tipped off by the victim’s employer that something was happening to him.

The family reportedly demanded that the victim renounce his Christian faith and convert back to Islam.

 

The father, Nick Kadum, and the brother, John Kadum, were charged with domestic assault and bodily injury while the mother, Rawaa Khawaji, was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
