A man who allegedly called police claiming he killed his daughter (http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/20071211/Mississauga_murder_071211/20071211?hub=TopStories)

Her friends said she would often change her clothing once she got to school and then would change back before going home.

This is probably peer pressure I can just imagine how worried his friends where about his daughter.

This is the first time it happened that I remember in North America.
In Ottawa we soon have a murder going through the courts about an honour killing that's yet to be proven involving a brother shooting his sister and her boyfriend dead.

Well,maybe with an increasing Muslim population,this sort of thing will appear more often-unfortunately.

Surprised it hasnt happened here yet.

Muslim clerics denounce girl's killing (http://www.canada.com/ottawacitizen/news/story.html?id=7fab090b-0f73-4e0d-acaf-3b3c1b8b8a01)


Muslim leaders denouncing the crime as un-Islamic and describing it as a case of domestic abuse. Then religious leaders insisted on the hijab's importance to parents -- even if a daughter rejects it.


said some parents would view themselves as having failed in their duty if their daughter chose not to wear the hijab.


So if the daughter makes a decision, then they have failed."

Family pulled a switch on the friends of the murdered victim.

The funeral for Aqsa Parvez drew classmates, members of the Islamic community and media, all of whom were bewildered by the sudden switch. Rites were performed earlier yesterday at an undisclosed location.
