A Florida woman whose beliefs are represented by the Quaran is facing charges when she allegedly attacked one of her family members after she became insulted that they said a Christian prayer praising Jesus.
Late in the morning of December 11, a woman’s brother and his wife were visiting her home. The man wanted to spend time with his mother, who is staying with his sister while on hospice care. The man and his spouse decided to pray together, and his sister heard them mention Jesus. She reportedly became upset, especially after noticing the pair was holding a cross while praying. It was reported that the woman’s religious beliefs center around the Quaran, a religious text of Islam that does not involve believing in Jesus.
Things began with a verbal disagreement, but they intensified. After she asked them to leave, the man’s sister allegedly threw his and his wife’s belongings outside and smashed his cell phone on the ground. A physical altercation reportedly took place, and the authorities were notified. A deputy from the Indian River Sheriff’s Office went to the residence to assist a corporal who was already there.
