Default Murder Charge for Brother Whose Sister Shed Scarf

Murder Charge for Brother Whose Sister Shed Scarf

Quote:
The brother of a Canadian teenager who was slain in what friends described as a family dispute over a Muslim head scarf was charged with murder, becoming the second family member accused in her death, police said Friday.

Aqsa Parvez, 16, of Pakistani origin, was strangled in December at her Mississauga, Ontario, home.

Waqas Parvez, 27, who had faced obstruction allegations in his sister's death, was charged Thursday with first-degree murder.

Their father Muhammad Parvez, 57, was charged with first-degree murder earlier this month. He had been a suspect since shortly after her death.

Police have refused to confirm the killing was over the scarf, and Muhammed Parvez's lawyer, Joseph Ciraco, has said that more than just cultural issues played a role. He did not return calls for comment Friday.

But friends said her death came during a family feud over her refusal to wear the traditional Muslim veil. And the killing sparked debate in Canada about the conflict within immigrant families over traditional values and desires to fit into a new culture.

Parvez's friends from her high school said the ever-cheerful girl faced an increasingly difficult home life. They said that Parvez would come to school wearing track pants and the scarf, but would change into close-fitting jeans and remove the scarf at school. They said her parents caught on and began following her to school to make sure she was abiding by their rules.

Classmate Joel Brown, 17, has said that the girl grew afraid of her parents and began showing up to school with bruises.
The Religion of peace!...

granted, this is a terrible story.

but, PLEASE, let's not pretend that there haven't been a few Christian parents who have abused their children because the kids didn't adhere to the parents' "Christian" ideals.

this isn't a Muslim issue - it's a blind ignorance problem.

one group claiming and enforcing moral superiority will be the death knell of this nation

(and, what exactly is moral equivalence? in this context, I mean)

Religions that do not enforce or encourage the killing of others (including their own) for the SAKE of their religion IS superior to ones that don't...

That's the problem with this bullsh*t "diversity and multi-culturalist" attitude...

"Hinduism is just as good as tribes worshipping the sun, which is just as good as judaism, which is just as good as Christianity, which is just as good, as Islam, which is just as good as..."...

Absolute crap!...certain religions evolved into an actual separation of government and life...Islam is the last main religion that has NOT done this...

What's happening today in Islam is what Christianity went through 500 years ago...But while Christianity grew up, Islam stayed stagnant and attempts to live a 7th century lifestyle in a 21st century world...

Moral equivanlence is relating two things that may be true in context, but are absolutely ignorant in reality...

Country A killed 30 million people...Country B killed 4 people...

Moral equivalance shows that both are killers (true), therefore, they should be treated the same (which is just dumb...and borderline retarded)...

This is what you're trying to do by inserting Christianity in a conversation where it simply doesn't belong...

You could point to perceived abuses all you'd like and sleep soundly as if you're correct, but to actively kill in the name of Christianity because Christian law demands it went out with the Reformation...

Honor Killings on Rise Worldwide

Now here's the part where you mention some wackjob abortion clinic bomber and try to equate it with a centuries-old practice of people killing their own children...

And how many have they killed again?...How many have they endorsed killing based solely on their religion and because they say their God demands it again?...

Here we go again... Another thread addressing the abuses of Islam turned into an anti-Christian bash session. How about all you liberals who so support the ending of oppression and the idea of equal rights for all people actually take a stand against the absolute most oppressive religion on the face of the Earth?? Instead of taking any thread that is critical of Islam and twisting it into an opportunity to engage in another anti-Christian rant, how about you take steps to end the oppression of Islamic women? How about you start protesting for the end of Sharia law? We see people on the right trying to engage this topic, but those on the left are largely silent, choosing instead to turn any discussion of a problem with Islam into an opportunity to try make Christianity something "just as bad". It's complete hypocrisy.
