...Over what they do/don't wear on their freakin' head???
I don't fully understand some religions, people, traditions. Whether or not this is considered an accident, to me it screams the disconnect between some cultures and basic Women's/Human Rights.
TORONTO, Ont. -- A 16-year-old girl has died after allegedly being choked by her father over a dispute with her family over her refusal to wear the hijab, the Islamic headscarf worn by some Muslim women.
Peel Regional Police arrested a 57-year-old man Tuesday morning after receiving a 911 call from a suburban home in Mississauga from a man saying he had killed his daughter, according to a Toronto newspaper Web site.
According to the National Post, a Toronto newspaper Web site, when police arrived at the house they found the teen on the floor without any vital signs.
Constable J.P. Valade, a spokesman for Peel police, would not release the names of either the victim or the man arrested and would not give any details about what transpired inside the home.
“We are not getting into the details of her injuries at this time,” he told the newspaper. “We aren’t getting into any details about this case. This investigation is really in its infancy. Officers are still canvassing the neighborhood and talking to family members.”
Friends of the teenager identified her as Aqsa Parvez and said they were shocked by her death but said her family was very strict.
“She got threatened by her father and her brother,” Dominiquia Holmes-Thompson told the newsaper. “He said that if she leaves, he would kill her.”
Another friend said she had previous fights with her father over wearing Islamic dress and wearing her hijab all of the time.
Police confirmed there were other family members home when the teen died.

Also: No, I would never kill my own kid.
Maybe you should do your research before you decide to move to a new country. Catch up on what it is really like before you have to kill a child because she wants to explore.
No more procreating for any of them.

Next!"
But in all seriousness, I saw that story the other day and it's just sickening. I'm all for tolerance of other cultures but some things are just way over the line.
I'm interested to see what comes from this horrible, tragic event.

yeah and it should have the Poll option for fairness and impartiality reasons!!!
fucking awful story though.. we had a bad one recently here in the UK.. a revenge killing by some guy and he killed hos own baby in a bakers in the North of England... i feel sick just thinking about it..
And yes MCKB maybe this should be over in AMT but I really don't care. The mods will move it if they please. It's a habit to post here I guess.
(disclaimer - not at all meant to be a slam on MCKB)
I have never entertained the idea of killing my child, except sometimes at bedtime.
If conforming to society means not murdering your children, then yes, I guess so.

Is the father right? Hell no.
the question to your answer is : I hope not, but who knows??? there are a tremendous amount of variables...I mean this could even become a segway into an abortion topic...
based on the reasoning of the parties involved then the answer is : fuck no.
as far as having to acclimate to societal standards...um okay sure it would be nice if people while keeping their cultural identity joined in with the rest of mainstream, however choking a girl isnt just upsetting to societies fabric. I do believe it is also against the law.
even in canada
there you are.

I think EF? may have been hinting at obeying the laws of your new country, not abandoning religious beliefs.
Doesn't matter if it was or it wasn't. Murder here in Canada is against the law for all people and all religions.
Did you not read my post thoroughly enough? I said that it wasn't relevant to this. And I'm quite familiar that murder in Canada is a crime, I'm sure it applies to alot of places too.
there you are.

No I wouldn't kill any of my kids under any circumstance imaginable, and yes, that includes destroying my dvd porn collection by fire or putting a tape of me jerking off to a Richard Simmons workout video on youtube.
Why would you start was has no end?
So....you're saying such a tape exists?

Hypothetically;)
Richard Simmons would be a lame gay rape.....hypothetically.
Why would you start was has no end?
What about that tape of you performing a mock cunnilingus on that special order Della Reese blow up doll ?? because, while it made for great YouTube images...it must have been a tad embarrassing.
seriously though - why is this even a question?? it seems very unlikely that anyone WOULD kill their kid for the reasons given...that is why they are called extremists...because their actions are um, extreme.
If I banged a purple inflatable penguin, then I can see where there would be some entertainment value on youtube.
