Plot[edit]

Please note that, contary to all popular belief, Edward has normal hands

When the neighborhood evangelist lady, Peggy Wood, fails to make any conversions in her neighborhood, she goes to the abandoned mosque on the hill and meets Edward. Edward is a man who has scissors for hands. Angered by Edward's religion of Islam, Peggy brings him home to convert him; Edward thus must adjust to life in the suburbs. He falls in love with Peggy's daughter, Tigress Wood (no relation to Tiger Woods), who is frightened by Edward at first, but grows to love him while everybody else in the neighborhood is angry because he is Muslim, especially her jealous boyfriend, Jon, whose father was killed during the Persian Gulf War by a Muslim man.

The film climaxes (pun intended) in the attic of Edward's mosque; Jon tries to shoot and kill Edward, because he is Muslim, but Tigress grabs the gun still in Jon's hands and it is fired into the air. Jon then begins to beat Edward in the back with a long metal rod and Tigress once again comes to Edward's aid. Jon hits Tigress and kicks her into the air, sending her to Saudi Arabia. There she learns the power of Islam, and makes her pilgrimage to the Ka'aba. This enrages Jon, who journeys to Mecca to reteach Tigress the power of Christianity, where he is killed by a Muslim man. Tigress manages to keep the townspeople out of the mosque by telling them it was a place of evil.

Edward then goes to Hollywood and fulfills his dream of being a B-movie director.

The film begins and ends with some old lady telling her granddaughter the story of Edward Scissorhands. When the girl asks that old lady how she knows Edward is still praying in the mosque, the elderly woman answers, "Because I secretly am Muslim." The young girl, enraged, stabs the old lady to death. The story ends with the town entering the mosque, killing Edward.
