Canadian dad imposes fatherly discipline on daughter who refused to wear hijab

If his own 911 call is to be believed, he choked her to death.
Friends at the victim’s school said she feared her father and had argued over her desire to shun the hijab, a traditional shoulder-length head scarf worn by females in devout Muslim families…
The victim’s brother, 26-year-old Waqas Parvez, was also arrested on a charge of obstructing police…
Pal Ebonie Mitchell, 16, and other friends said Aqsa still wore the hijab to school last year, but rebelled against dressing in it this fall.
They said she would leave home wearing the traditional garment and loose clothing, but would often change into tighter garments at school.
She would change back for the bus trip home.
“Sometimes she even changed her whole outfit in the washroom at school,” Mitchell said.
Said one of her father’s co-workers of the suspect, “He was Muslim and very devout, very observant.” Exit question: Is Mark Steyn going to get sued if he writes about this?

The religion of “Piece” just can’t do enough to convince me they’re worth having in the western world!

I guess we’ll see how Sharia Canadian law has become.

Heartbreaking. Is it just me or is there more than the usual amount of tragedy and senseless killing this week? I hope this man stays in jail the rest of his life.

This stuff is getting so tragic, that I can’t even make light of it.

Poor girl. Hope the Canadians punish the father extremely harshly. They’d better send the clear message that this kind of thing won’t be tolerated in North America.

I read at another blog that there were 11 people present in the home when this barbarian strangled his little girl.
RushBaby on December 11, 2007 at 1:19 PM
Nothing more than human sacrifice.
While the apologists do have a point in that non-Muslim groups pull this kind of crap, too (remember the Yazidi girl who was stoned to death), the fact of the matter is that Muslim clerics have not acted against this kind of savagery for thousands of years, and even encourage it with their adherence to primitive and repressive social mores.

SoulGlo on December 11, 2007 at 1:20 PM
Muslims in Quebec a few years ago tried to get the government to allow a Sharia-based mediation court. The Government said “Non“.
And thenthere’s this.
Reader beware: While Qubec’s official resistance is good, keep in mind the Quebecois are incredible xenophobic. After a failed referendum in Quebec that would have led to Quebec separating from the rest of Canada, the leader of the separatist party publicly blemed the failure of passage on “Immigrants and Jews”.
Frozen Tex on December 11, 2007 at 1:21 PM
When I first saw this story on the news, they blurred the girls face because she was a minor, and wouldn’t release the name of the family. You could see in the girl’s picture though that there was a head covering. I had wondered at the time if it was an “honor killing.”
Incredibly sad.
nailinmyeye on December 11, 2007 at 1:22 PM
blemed = blamed. Darned lack of editing.

Weren’t similar things said about that murdering nutcase at those churches in Colorado the other day?

You have put your finger on it.
It is a human sacrifice to show their devotion to Allah, Mohammad, the Koran and Islam.

Correction: That as many as 11 people lived in the home, but NOT were necessarily present when the murder took place.

Dread Pirate Roberts VI on December 11, 2007 at 1:34 PM
Well, I guess that’s why they had the apologist on CityTV today, saying there is no compulsion in religion, that she didn’t have to wear the hijab if she didn’t want to, etc.
Based on what normally takes place in the Canadian Justice system, it is unlikely that he will actually see a whole lot of jail time, unless he lucks out and gets one of the tough judges & one of the few tough prosecutors.
Just as a hypothetical, assume this case takes 2 years to go to trial, during which the accused is detained, he gets convicted of second degree murder (might be a stretch) and sentenced to “life” in prison. “life” in prison in canada means 10 to 25 years, but since he spent 2 years in pre-trial custody, he will likely get credit for 3 times that, giving him 6 years off his sentence, resulting in him being eligble for parole in as little as 4 years.
Canadian Imperialist Running Dog on December 11, 2007 at 1:34 PM
It will be interesting to see what kind of statements are issued, if any, by some of the Muslim groups in the city. We get stuff on U of T campus all the time about how oppressed Muslims are. I’m curious to see with the MSA will have to say about this.
nailinmyeye on December 11, 2007 at 1:35 PM
Nice original post, and follow-up post. I hadn’t thought about it like that.
OhEssYouCowboys on December 11, 2007 at 1:38 PM
I wonder why he called 911 and told them he had killed her. Might be buyer’s remorse, or he is proud of what he did. He may just be gambling the Canadian legal system will handle it like the German court who wouldn’t stop the Muslim guy from beating his wife because it was a cultural thing. Be interesting to see how the Canadian system handles both the trial and the sentencing, or if they allow Sharia input.

Yup. Sounds about right. And Picton was only convicted of second degree murder. A serial killer that fed his victims to his pigs. Hey, maybe they could put Picton and the girl’s father in the same cell…

I live in a very small city, so the local newspaper prints class picture for both the local high schools’ grad class. This spring, there was pictures of twin sisters graduating. One wears a hijab, and one wears her hair and makeup in a very mordern, stylish look. I wonder what kind of drama goes on daily in their home?

Hopefully, you won’t have to read about it in the newspaper.

And that’s a US court, for white-collar crime. Let’s see how much more time, if any, a Canadian court gives this murderer.

this guy had to work at this for a while. it wasn’t a “crime of passion”.
the only way they will stop this type of thing is with a “spreading chestnut tree” and thirty feet of hemp rope applied within 24 hours. mixed in must be the threats of actions to the body afterwards that will “horrify” islamics.

Just in case there is any doubt; more from PeaceLove:
This is not the view of all Muslims; but it is the view of the radicals who want to behead and/or enslave the rest of us, the ones who are swamping North American and European mosques with hate literature, the ones who want to extend this savage theocratic code of ‘justice’ to the entire world. This is the face of Jihad. And it is not a ’small percentage of extremists,’ as the ostrich-like media would have us believe — it is a significant and growing demographic within the western Muslim community. It should be noted that two other commenters claimed to be Muslim and chastised this disgusting clown, but they are safely anonymous. In Canada, there have been death threats and murder attempts on moderate voices — as has been documented both here and on Michelle’s site.

Not when you commit murder, you don’t.
Ummm… Judaism? Buddhism? Hinduism? Christianity? All older than Islam.

it seems to me that this person peacelove fits the classical symptoms of insanity.
he she or it does not recognize that killing people is not right, that a weoman is not legaly responsible to her father, that the wearing or not wearing (outside of certain minimal requirements (nudity in public and or a mask in public)is not a hanging offense) plus a few others.
seems to me that folks that have his, her or its problems might be a candidate to be tucked away in a place where they give you “meds” that allow you to change your mind to become more “civilized” and will keep you there until you renounce the things that got you there, all of the time tucked away in a white canvass jacket with those neat wrist straps.

Allow me to paraphrase General Napier:

String the bastard up. Short drop.
ticticboom on December 11, 2007 at 5:57 PM
We had the death penalty until some time in the 70’s, when the Liberal Party (no joke, that’s what it’s called) repealed it, even though a majority of the population supported it (still does today). And jail sentences get shorter and shorter because judges are afraid of handing out too harsh a sentence that gets reduced on appeal. You may have noticed a the name Picton in a few comments here, and references to pigs; he’s a pig farmer/serial killer that abducted and murdered over 20 women and so far, after his first trial, has only been convicted of 6 counts of second degree murder. The fear of many Canadians is how he will be sentenced. “Life” in Canada is 25 years, and he could be eligible for parole in less than 10. Our Justice system is horribly flawed, and spiralling down the drain. This is the background to our fears that not much will happen to this poor girl’s father.

It’s not a religion; it’s a death cult. They know only killing, even their own children.
Jaibones on December 11, 2007 at 6:39 PM
Unfortunately, in Canada, even if we were able to have him sentenced to death, the last of the qualified executioners retired from public service years ago, and thus there wouldn’t be anyone to carry it out. (Treason is still punishable by hanging, at least the last time I checked)

Our honor killing friend is certainly a good devout Muslim, don’t let anyone tell you he is not. The youngest brother (if there is one) would ordinarily get this job. Eleven people in the house? They all knew it was coming, they all felt it was right (or were too frightened to say anything).
This was over the head scarf, had this been a case of her being seen with a boy or the wrong boy, she might have been raped and sodomized by available uncles or proxies before execution.
Islam is a unique case of it being proper to throw out both bathwater and baby. Especially the baby.

I have a daughter,she is 17 years old,she is my world,

she’s a junior coach.My main concern,she goes to work,
and comes home safely,what kind of obeidence in this
religion of peace were your own loving daughter is ruled by Allah and is above your will,were the home she lives in,is
not safe,it becomes a prison.
If you live in Canada,or the United States of America,

Honor killing is not a tenet of Islam. It just happens to fit Islam like a glove and has always thrived with it. Like a Christmas tree is not in our Bible but is widely used by Christians to mark Christmas anyway. It’s not so about pleasing Allah. it’s maintaining “honor” in the community of other Muslims.

Also, non-Muslim Arabs, North Africans, Persians, and Indians sometimes pull the same stunts. Islam certainly doesn’t do much to help, though, in terms of how it is frequently practiced and preached. Moderate arguments can be made against the extremist interpretations.
It’s usually fatal for the moderate, but the arguments can be made.
TABoLK on December 11, 2007 at 10:30 PM
I thought the same thing when I read about this man murdering his daughter, he fits our description of an insane person, someone who would kill their own child. It tragically happens. But make no mistake, this man, nor so called “peacelove” mentioned above, nor any muslim man that is devout is not insane. It’s their religion that holds its adherents to these bizarre standards. It’s normal for them. ‘Honoring’ their religious laws is more important to them than their own child’s life. To us it’s a sickness, to them it’s normal. It continues to amaze me that the normal people still twist themselves up trying to defend or explain why muslims continue to do things like this. It’s not ok, it never has been or will be, and everyone should stand up and say so.
