Man Kills 16 Year Old Daughter in Canada, Paper Avoids References to Islam – UPDATE: – CAIR calls it a case of ‘domestic abuse’, police “haven’t determined a motive”, Islamic society blames teen’s raging hormones

Update: Yahoo has an updated story today that includes the Muslim elements related to the girls death. But get this, despite the fact that the girl confided to friends that her father would kill her for not wearing traditional Muslim garb the Council for Islamic American Relations (CAIR) is defending the father calling it a case of “domestic abuse”. Not only that but idiots in the Canadian police department are saying that they haven’t determined a motive. This is a real life case of dumb and dumber.
Police spokesman Wayne Patterson said authorities were working at determining the motive and refused to confirm it was over the hijab, the traditional Muslim head scarf. A lawyer for father said there was “more to the story than just cultural issues.”
But friends said Aqsa Parvez was planning to leave home in Mississauga, Ontario because of tensions with her family over her decision to stop wearing her head scarf at high school. They said she often had bruises on her arms and that she predicted days before her death that her father would “kill her.”
“Her dad would want her to be about Muslim this, Muslim that, but she was more about living her life to the fullest. She just wanted to show her parents that you could be religious, but also be who you wanted to be,” said Alex Prasad, a friend and fellow student at Parvez’s suburban Toronto school, Applewood Heights Secondary.
Note the following statement by CAIR as well as the statement from the president of the Islamic Social Services Association who tries to blame it on the hormones and emotions of teens trying to assert their independence. Nice try.
Is it any wonder that American’s are sick of CAIR and like groups that try to protect radical Islamists from public scrutiny?
Selma Djukic, a spokeswoman for the Canadian Council on American-Islamic Relations, called it a case of domestic abuse.
“This is a tragedy. This another woman that has succumbed to domestic violence and we need to look at what kind of services are available to families who are immigrants and who are trying to make it in the Canadian framework,” Djukic said.
Shahina Siddiqui, president of the Islamic Social Services Association, also called it a domestic violence issue.
“To say it was about her not wearing the hijab, I think that’s an oversimplification. All we’ve heard is from her peers saying that,” Siddiqui said. “Many of us who have teenagers or had teenagers know this is a very difficult time. Their hormones and emotions are raging and they are trying to assert their independence.”
Globe and Mail – Canada is reporting that Muhammad Parvez, 57, murdered his 16 year old daughter, Aqsa Parvez for refusing to wear the hijab (H/T: Right Girl). As is typical of the thin skinned MSM you will not find one mention of the world Muslim or any sort of statement pointing out that the deranged man killed his daughter in the name of Islam. In fact the newspaper files the story under the generic non-judgmental headline, Father charged in teen’s killing.
Of course we know different just from reading the report because she was killed for refusing to wear a hijab.
A 16-year-old girl died in hospital late Monday night, hours after police in Mississauga received a call from a man saying he had killed his daughter.
Muhammad Parvez, 57, has been charged with murder in connection with the death of his daughter, Aqsa Parvez. He will appear Tuesday in a Brampton court.
The victim’s 26-year-old brother, Waqas Parvez, has been charged with obstructing police.
Students at nearby Applewood Heights Secondary School in Mississauga said the teen had recently clashed with her family after ceasing to wear a hijab and adopting a more Western style of dress.
According to police, the chain of events began yesterday morning with a phone call from a home near Hurontario Street and Eglinton Avenue.
“At 7:55 a.m., we received a 911 call from a man claiming that he had just killed his daughter,” Constable J.P. Valade of Peel Police said.
Constable Valade said when paramedics arrived at the single-family detached home on Longhorn Trail, they found a 16-year-old suffering from life-threatening injuries. The teenager was taken immediately to Credit Valley Hospital and later transferred in critical condition to the Hospital for Sick Children, where she died, according to police.
It seems that Canadian journalists are just as bad as their U.S. counterparts, if not worse. They lack the courage and testicular fortitude to mention what has fashionably become unmentionable. As such they are not reporters, they are note takers.
Sadly we sit here 6 years after 9-11 and I can only mention a handful of Muslims that have condemned this sort of behavior. Unfortunately Canada has no death penalty, not that it matters much though. The libs that are afraid to point out that this was an act of violence done in the name of radical Islamic teachings are just as likely to have a similar ho-hum attitude toward this senseless and needless death.

To my fellow immigrant parents from Asia,
This is a tragic news. Media has portrayed this as a murder by her father due to hijab. That may not tell the entire story.
This is what we know. Father was a taxi driver and a devout moslem (praying six times a day). He called police and informed them that he killed his daughter. This household had 11 members living there. Teenager Aqsa wanted to wear clothes like other teens and did not wear hijab whenever she got a chance.
A week before her death she moved out of house to stay with her friend. She went home to pick up her belongings and the next thing we know is that she was strangled to death by her father.
The media thinks this is a death due to hijab. However, there may be lot more than hijab controversy. The escalating anger between a rebel teenager and strict family may have lead to this heinous crime.
We may never know all the details in this incidence. And it is definitely not my intention to throw mud at any one or any group of people. But there are lots of lesson here. Just as there were in case of a 18 year old Sikh girl killed by her dad few months back in Canada because she ran away with a Canadian man.
In our multicultural world we have migrated to a vastly different culture. Our teens are under tremendous peer pressure to feel a sense of belonging to the western kids. They will defy our laws, they will not meet our expectations and a feeling of let down is obvious. Remember coming to US or Canada was a choice we made not our children,
However, under no circumstances it should allow us to do anything or say anything that infringes on the freedom of choice that this country allows.
It only backfires our mission to keep our youth connected to our values. There is no surer way to make a teen go ballistic than to challenge them with authoritarian dictum. Little did Muhammed Parvez (the dad) know that most of the rebellious behavior of his daughter originated by his strict behavior.
In a much smaller scale the struggle between a teen and parents go on in many desi household.
May we learn something from this sad episode.
May we develop a support system in our own community for troubled teens.
May we develop a support system for our distressed parents.
To a teen in such a situation. It is not about who is right and who is wrong. If you think you are dealing with irrational parents – do not escalate. There is a difference between being empowered versus being a rebel. Contact me vijayvip@aol.com or talk to some elder person whom you trust. When you are sixteen 2 years without hijab may seem like eternity but trust me slow and steady wins the race. Do not run away from home. Do not move out of home – that is surely to make parents that they are losing you and precipitate irrational behavior.
No one can ever bring Aqsa back but if we all learn to become calm and rational in face of cultural clash and prevent even one such happening her life would not go in vein!
There may be a little bit of Muhammed Parves in some of us and little bit of Aqsa in some of out teenagers. But what is importnat is that we need to make sure we do not get even a little bit of outcome as in this case.
May your soul rest in peace Aqsa.

16-year old strangled to death for refusing to wea…
Shari’a takes place in Canada, as a Pakistani cab driver strangled his daughter to death. She died at the hospital (via LGF). Here is more about this (via Michelle Malkin):…
Editor,
I read Vijay Mehta’s comment. A good place I think for Dr. Mehta to start with helping his country men is to make them aware that when they decide to relocate to another country to live with their families it is for a more enriched life with more opportunities and new customs.
If they want to keep the same laws, out dated beliefs and ways as observed in their old country then they need to stay there. When you live in a new country then you have to live and abide by the laws in the new country. They can not expect to have it both ways. CAIR has no reason to even be involved with this case except to provide counsel. This man commented murder, period and should be convicted for it. This is not a domestic problem it is MURDER. I don’t care if he prays 20 times a day, it doesn’t seem to help him any at all.
Teenagers are teenagers no matter where they are. They want to fit in with their friends not stand out. This man should not have expected his daughter to not to want to be one of the crowd and have friends. The Shari’a laws do not apply in other country’s. If he wants to live by it then like I said before he should never have left Pakistan. He is the one who needs to grow up and make changes because it seems his daughter was more mature about it than he is. I do not feel sorry for him or agree with him. I feel sorry for Aqsa that his selfishness took her life from her just as she was getting use to having a free life. Not having to run from gun fire or terrorist around every corner. I also feel very sorry for Aqsa’s mother who will not get to see her daughter grow up and have a family of her own. Her brother should be ashamed of himself for not helping her. In free country’s women are not cattle. They get the same opportunities as men. The men of these radical countries should not bring their families to free countries if they want to keep living under a rock and live by laws that do not make any sense in a modern world. Hormones and emotions of teens trying to assert their independence like you said nice try but no sell. Kids are Kids. To bad Canada doesn’t have the death penalty. These two are poster boys for it. I hope they meet every Bubba and Tiny in the jail. Then they can see what it’s like being a woman living by someone else’s laws.
I have not use the father’s or brother’s names because I don’t feel they deserve the respect. I hope they both spend the rest of their lives in jail. I do hope Mrs. Parvez can find some comfort in the fact that we will keep her in our prayers.
