Dad Allegedly Kills Girl Over Head Scarf By Jonathan Spicer,Reuters Posted: 2007-12-11 20:27:40 Filed Under: Crime News, World News TORONTO (Dec. 11) - A Canadian teenager who was said to have clashed with her father about whether she should wear a traditional Muslim head scarf died of injuries late on Monday, and her father told police he had killed her. A memorial for Aqsa Parvez is set up at her high school near Toronto. Some of her classmates were quoted as saying she wore traditional Muslim dress when leaving her house in the morning, but would change into other clothes in school washrooms. Aqsa Parvez, 16, was found without a pulse in her home in the Toronto suburb of Mississauga earlier on Monday. She was resuscitated by paramedics, treated at two hospitals, and later succumbed to her injuries, police said on Tuesday. Her father, 57-year-old Muhammad Parvez, has been charged with murder and was remanded back into custody after his first court appearance early on Tuesday. "There was a 911 call placed by a man who indicated that he had just killed his daughter," Jodi Dawson, a constable with Peel Regional Police, told Reuters. "Everything else is evidentiary in nature and the investigation is in its preliminary stages at this point." The victim's brother, Waqas Parvez, 26, was arrested and charged with obstructing police. The story was on the front pages of Canadian newspapers on Tuesday. The newspapers quoted friends and schoolmates of the victim as saying she argued with her father over wearing a hijab, the traditional head scarf worn by Muslim females. Photos of the teen retrieved from a social networking Web site show her in Western dress with her long dark hair loose. "She was always scared of her dad, she was always scared of her brother," the Toronto Star quoted a classmate as saying. Others were quoted as saying the girl wore traditional Muslim dress when leaving the house in the morning, but would change into other clothes in school washrooms. Dawson said investigators will likely speak to the victim's schoolmates. The father will return for a bail hearing on Wednesday. Damn talking about extreme.....sucks for the girl.
ah, the religion of peace. some people are just complete maniacs, i wonder how the father justified this to himself.
honestly i think the muslim religion is too restrictive based on what i see sometimes, like their beliefs, the women have to wear scarfs all the time and i know alot of people have to go through the ramadon period where they can't eat or drink for 10 days or something, the woman thing though i think that's sexist, i mean we are in the 21st century and to see that in America kinda weird.
damn thats some f*cked up sh!t right there, kinda reminds me of russel people. dad, qoute " if i kill this one ill just tell the new one how stupid the old one was"
u know what...it wouldnt surprise me at all if something like this would happen in nl either.... damn...quite a few extremists over here too... pretty scary and they give the others a bad rep....=/
i am kinda feeling good being an atheist after reading this and yes another reason why the americans go to war....... FREEDOM!!!!
it IS the reason mate, thats wot george bush said ..... yes yes its all about sucking the oil from the ground too but hey it does sounds safer without these extremists around innit
hahaha did u just call me "mate" hahaha funnyyy & yes...thats what uncle bush said...and we all know what kind of person that is dont we...sooo trust worthy -innocent & also hear allll the bs that comes outta that mouth...woooh.... yes oil and of course power.... yes ofcourse its safer without extremists around...but why do i have the feeling that the more the americans try the fight them...the more extremists there are appearing.... no offense to US ppl here....why dont they just take their ass outta other ppl's country and not get involved with other ppl... im not saying other countries are doing good things and that no one is supposed to say anything.... but hey....its always US who have problems with other countries...oh what a big coincidence... why do they always think their the rulers of planet earth and try to control everyone... why dont they fix their own country before they try to heal the world.... i reckon the muslim religion is quite restrictive...but hey if they choose to live that way...who are we to judge them perhaps they think the same way about westerners...why are they so open minded? why are all the western women uncovered? in NL...no one used to have a problem with women wearin scarfs and ramadan...so why did it all change? i mean....no harm to anyone right? its just a part of their religion...if the women do it out of free will then theres not a problem with it imo
hey i live in a super multi cultural country...and i know heaps of good muslim ppl... who dont approve the behavior of those extremists at all
you have my say yes i have some muslim friends at uni, i know a guy who's a muslim from iran but he drinks and eats pork normally
no way he is a real muslim then. seriously, no muslim would ever touch pork also... how does one 'drink' pork? lol
u know..i hear that a lot...muslims who dont do the ramadan thingy and eat pork i dont know fearless...then what about christians who have sex before marriage...or the ones who eat meat on good friday? are they real christians? =/
those are the soft religious people. Honestly, if your gonna be religious you should do it right. How can you even back up your values if you only pick and choose from the parts of the religion that you like. for example, christians should all follow exactly what is outlined in the bible. ie. cover up their poop because it makes god angry to see it according to leviticus, they should all stone adulterers do absolutely nothing on sundays never touch women during their period (and no sitting where a woman sits during that time of the month) no lying, stealing or coveting whatsoever and they should all sacrifice a goat to god once and a while.
