This story about "Nashville parents" who, along with one of their sons, reportedly beat and slashed another son who had converted to Christianity really makes it seem like there's something bizarre happening in Tennessee.

As WSMV reported last Tuesday, the victim told police that his mother, father and older brother attacked him because they disapproved of his conversion. The family members charged in the incident were Nick Kadum, 57, Rawaa Khawaji, 46, and John Kadum, 29.

"He stated [his mother], along with his brother and father, repeatedly punched him and spat in his face," the arrest report stated. "He stated his mother then took a knife and scratched the back of his right hand with it. He stated his family, including his mother, demanded he recant and say he was a Muslim."

This is tragic but not surprising in our pluralist society.

Devout Muslims are going to do devout Muslim things.

According to a Monday report from The Charlotte Observer, the police conducted the welfare check on the house after receiving a request from the boy's employer. The victim told police that his family was in the middle of beating him up when the authorities arrived at the house shortly before midnight...

The religion of peace at the end of a knife, everyone.

Police said that the mother — who was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon — denied that she had attacked her son. In addition to the assault charges, the 29-year-old brother and the father were charged with domestic bodily injury, according to the outlet, and the juvenile victim was taken to a hospital.

Wild to see stuff that used to only happen in places like Pakistan happening in Tenne-freakin-ssee.
