Father, brother plead guilty to so-called 'honour killing' of 16-year-old girl
The Globe and Mail ^ | June 16, 2010 | Kate Allen and Joe Friesen

Posted on 06/16/2010 5:13:30 AM PDT by mkleesma

Just two days before she was killed, 16-year-old Aqsa Parvez went to the movies for the first time.

She had fought her parents for the right to wear Western clothing, and to jettison the hijab they wanted her to wear. She was going to apply for a part-time job, something her father refused to allow. Then she ran away from home for the second time in three months. The first time, her father had sworn on the Koran he would kill her if she ever ran away again.

Yet on the morning of Dec. 10, 2007, Ms. Parvez went home. Thirty-six minutes later, her father called 911 saying he had killed her. When police arrived, they found Ms. Parvez’s mother crying hysterically and her father with blood on his hands.

In a Brampton courtroom Tuesday, Ms. Parvez’s father, Muhammad Parvez, 60, and her brother, Waqas Parvez, 29, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder. They will be sentenced to 25 years in prison.

When asked by his wife why he had killed their daughter, Ms. Parvez said her husband told her: “My community will say you have not been able to control your daughter. This is my insult. She is making me naked.”

If this man should have loved his daughter more than his “honor”. These people should be stopped from entering Western countries, even legally. The do not have the ability or will to assimilate.

The sin in this case is pride.

Observers say the case, among the first so-called honour killings to gain widespread attention in Canada, will cast a spotlight on generational strains that can tear at families adapting to a new culture.

I can think of a few better ways to describe this. Her mistake is that she went home again. Our mistake as a civilization is that we have no structure for taking such women in and protecting them from the barbarians.

Yet another way Islam parallels narcissism.

Since 9-11 I have come to the realization that’s it’s them or us. And I vote us.

Their wives and daughters get spoiled by Western culture which has become a BIG problem for Muslim men who emigrate to any Western nation.

The National Organization of Women will welcome Sharia law into the USA with open arms.

Lefty agenda ALWAYS takes precedent over a woman’s basic human rights.

Islam is not a religion., It is a violent satanistic cult and it needs to be outlawed. It’s core beliefs are in direct conflict with the laws, culture and traditions of this country.

It’s foreign adherents need to be deported (And never allowed to return. The mosques need to be burned to the ground and sprayed with pigs blood.

Allowing the practice of islam in this country is spitting on the graves of our founding fathers and our patriots

The cult should have been outlawed on 9-12.

Islam must die or the west will die.

Father God I pray for the moslems. I pray that you save them and change them. And if they choose to not be saved and changed I pray that you kill them before they drag others into hell with them.

These people, and I hesitate to call them that, are sick beyond my understanding.

That is true. It seems that the men have a much harder time adapting to western culture.

My wife, represented the wife of a Pakistani in the sale of their home as a result of divorce. The Pakistani guy could not figure out why the wife would get anything out of the sale of the house. On several occasions my wife had to get him to sign papers by court order. My wife told me that this guy was scary and she did not want to go alone. I would go with her with a baseball bat and stand at the front door while she got the papers signed. With me there he was still nasty but never threatened my wife. He just did not get it.

(On one occasion, he also spent 10 days in jail for contempt of court for not signing the papers.)

That’s why we need to make it clear to those who want to or have immigrated to this country, that if having their children (or wives) hold to the backwards cultural traditions of their homelands is extremely important to them, that they should stay in (or go back to) those countries. We can’t change the world, but I can see no good reason to invite people here who hold values so intrinsically opposed to ours.

her father had sworn on the Koran he would kill her

She probably decided it would be better to be dead than to live in the filth of Islam.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t a US judge force a Muslim teen-age girl to go back to her family in Ohio after she left feeling threatened by a fundamentalist Islamic father?
In Dallas, I think they are still looking for the taxi-cab driver Muslim father who killed his daughter and tried to kill the other one as an “honor killing!” There is no honor among these barbarians. Unfortunately, there is a Mosque within a stones-throw of my house - don’t think that has helped property values!

This is the real reason for honor killings. She "dissed" him. Killing her was the only way to keep his fellow Muslims from laughing at him for being weak.
