| TORONTO - A Mississauga, Ont. man will be formally charged on Tuesday with murder in connection with the death of his 16-year-old daughter. The girl, Aqsa Parvez, was in critical condition on Monday after being strangled, apparently after a dispute with her family over her refusal to wear the hijab, the Islamic headscarf worn by some Muslim women. However Peel Regional Police said Tuesday the girl died late Monday night. Police arrested the victim's 57-year-old father, Muhammad Parvez on Monday morning after receiving a 911 call from a Mississauga home from a man saying he had killed his daughter. He is due to appear on Tuesday in a Brampton, Ont. court. The victim's 26-year-old brother, Waqas Parvez, was also charged with obstructing police. Friends of the teenager, a Grade 11 student at Applewood Heights high school, said Monday they were shocked by the attack on the outgoing, likeable girl, but said she had been threatened by her strictly religious family before. Ebonie Mitchell, 16, a friend of the victim, said the conflict with her father over wearing Islamic dress came to a head at the beginning of this school year. "She just wanted to dress like we do," she said. "Last year, she wore like the Islamic stuff and everything, the hijab, and this year she's all western. She just wanted to look like everyone else." |

| #10 People like this used to be hanged by the neck until dead. Too bad the Canadians are too "civilized" to give this guy the punishment he deserves. |

| #7 Can The Star cite one instance anywhere on Earth at any time in history when a family murdered a daughter because she chose to wear a hijab? No. They are apologists for a Satanic evil and evil themselves. The blood of the next girl is on their hands. |

| #6 She refused to be bagged so the father killed her?! The brother was involve too. Keeping jihad in the family. Just following Muhammad's example of murdering Muslims that don't follow the moon goddess cult to the letter. |

| #4 And the Star (no link, sorry) has a companion piece about the tragedy of girls wearing hijab *against* their parents' wishes. All those girls are alive and available for interviews, but other than that, there's no difference between the girls at all. |

| #3 Disabled comments in The Globe and Mail doesn't matter much when some of us have taken note of this. I wonder if the father and brother will be held somewhere or whether they will be released on their own recognizance? In a complex society, sometimes accidents just. . . . happen. |
