A GOLD Coast teenager allegedly murdered her mother and tried to kill her father because she wanted to switch from Islam to Christianity and move to Sydney with her boyfriend, a court heard today.

Prosecutor Michael Byrne, SC, told a Supreme Court jury in Brisbane that Kaihana Tahseen Hussain used an umbrella of her desire for more freedom as an excuse to stab her mother and father at their Smith Street unit, at Southport, 3 1/2 years ago.

He said central to the case was a man named "Ben Brady", who Kaihana was in love with, and the "city of Sydney" where she wanted to live.

Mr Byrne said the jury would hear how neighbours found Doctor Muhammad Nural Hussain and his wife Shaheda Yasmeen Hussain bleeding profusely on the floor of the unit, shortly after 7pm.

Kaihana, who some superficial injuries, was found sitting at the unit's front door.

Earlier there had been sounds of a loud arguments coming from the unit.

Mr Byrne told the jury there were only three people in the unit at the time and one was knifed to death and another nearly died from a knife wound.

He said the issue was whether the prosecution could prove beyond reasonable doubt Kaihana had inflicted the stab wounds.

Mr Byrne said Muhammad would say he had returned from work when his daughter had blindfolded him. He thought she was going to give him a present.

But he felt a sharp pain in his chest and abdomen and heard his wife cry out their daughter had stabbed her.

Mr Byrne told the court Kaihana repeatedly made claims her father had killed her mother and inflicted wounds on himeslf.

He said the prosecution would call evidence it said would counter those clams.

Kaihana Hussain, now 20, pleaded not guilty to murdering Shaheda Hussain, and not  guilty to attempting to murder Muhammad Hussain, on October 9, 2006.

She also pleaded not guilty to an alternate charge of causing grievous bodily harm with intent to Muhammad Hussain.

In his opening Mr Byrne said the crown would call evidence to show instead of being domineering the Hussains had made many sacrifices for their daughter.

He detailed how the couple were living in Iraq when Shadeda became pregnant with their only child, Kaihana, who was born in their native Bangladesh and she had a cleft lip.

Mr Byrne said over the next few years the family moved from Thailand to Zambia to South Africa where Dr Hussain gained better jobs and got better medical care to correct the cleft lip.

He said eventually Muhammad was qualified to come Australia and originally worked in rural South Australia at Coober Pedy, Renmark and Bordertown before moving to Adelaide.

Mr Byrne said it was then the Hussains became aware Kaihana was communicating on the internet with a man named Ben Brady who lived in Sydney.

He said after an argument Kaihana went to Sydney but returned after her family threatened legal action.

Mr Byrne went on to explain how Kaihana and Shaheda went to Bangladesh for a wedding and while they were away Muhhamed got a job on the Gold Coast, in October 2006.

Kaihana and Shaheda returned to join Muhammad on the Gold Coast and they moved into the Smith Street unit.

Mr Bryne said it would alleged that Kaihana continued to complain about her parents being too strict which led to the argument on October 9, five days after she turned 17.

The trial before Justice Margaret White continues.

...because she wanted to switch from Islam to Christianity and move to Sydney with her boyfriend, a court heard today.

.....she wanted to switch from Islam to Christianity.....

Actually the NT does mention this:

Mat 10:21 And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against [their] parents, and cause them to be put to death.

So there we have it, kill your parents, from the NT.

Abu, again... If you believe Islam requires it, then learn to be more sly and artful in your deceit.
