Murder about the Town

We just heard this town news from our maid today: a teenage boy murdered his own mother by gagging and tieing her to a tree and stoning her to death. Maybe that's not so strange to hear nowadays, particularly in the USA.

However, the reason the son killed his mom was different - it was because, in his words, "My mother was not dressing properly (covering up her head and body) in hijaab." In other words, he felt religiously correct in his deed. Afterwards, he turned himself in to the police.

Upon further questioning by authorities, it was revealed that his mother dressed "immodestly" in the house and that was why the son was offended, ashamed, and religiously outraged enough to carry out this "honor killing."

Go figure this one out.
