On June 15, in a courtroom in Mississauga, Ontario (Canada), a father and son plead guilty to the murder of Aqsa Parvez . She was daughter and brother, respectively, to the two men who admitted to brutally killing the teenage girl. Why was she killed? …
Source: CBC NewsThe father and brother of 16-year old Aqsa Parvez pleaded guilty to killing their family member. Muhammad Parvez, 60, and his son, Waqas, 29, entered pleas of guilty to second-degree murder during a court appearance on June 15. Parvez, 16, was found without vital signs in her bedroom on Dec. 11, 2007. She had been strangled, and news of her death, along with the reasons behind as friends revealed her story, have prompted debate over the wearing of the hijab. Friends of the teen say she had balked at wearing traditional Muslim clothing and she had been arguing with her father over her appearance.
Canada is a democratic free country, where every person has the right to their own beliefs, faith and actions. It is a multinational society based on tolerance and acceptance, the ethnic melting pot.
But inside the home, unfortunately this is not always the case. There still exists this third world mentality of faith-justified male tyranny and outdated view of the world. This is a tragic event indeed, and one that hopefully is disgusting enough to the general population that it does not happen again.
Maybe a suitable punishment for the father and son would be to have them wear this hijab and burka (full on head dress and skirt outfit, head to toe) for the rest of their lives and treated as women. But seeing as how they are going to go to jail for the remainder of their pathetic days on this earth, they most likely will be living as women, so justice will be served. Every day – for many years.

A comment from her sister… “whoever did this… should not go to jail.”
I’m having a hard time deciding if this is a problem with Canada’s lax immigrations standards or a psycho extremist family, considering that the Koran preaches peace and nonviolence.
glad to read that the father and brother got what they deserved, going to jail. I love the just derserts that you describe – hope that behind bars they do get treated as women and turned into someone’s cell bitch.
Awful, just awful. How could this happen in a family? As a parent, this post made me cry.
This is something that still happens in so many parts of the world and it is tragic, as said in the title of this article. The internet can go a long way in raising awareness of such rituals and make people realize that this behaviour is not acceptable. It is criminal and deserves to be punished as any other murder – maybe even more because it is especially horrific when families turn against each other with such cruelty and feel justified in doing so. After reading this article I looked it up on google and read that the mother said that her daughter brought it on herself and had it coming. How a mother can feel this way about her own daughter is beyond imagination. This must be eradicated, it is a crime against humanity in the worst way.
WOULD GOD FORGIVE YOU FOR MURDER OR REFUSED TO WEAR THIS HIJAB?
as i recall..it was due to her escape from burka outside the house into a western dress not appropriate for young girls
Cant believe that this can happen in a civilized country. That is really bad.
There is obviously far more to know about it as I expected. I like to stress that you have made some good points in your posting.
An awful story that had to be told. Goes to show that kids will evolve and you just can’t try to force them into following ways of the past – they are their own generation and will do what they think they have to. It is so sad that some people forget that they are parents first, and even more despicable that the mother actually condones the murder of her daughter at the hands of her husband and son.
