Aqsa’s last days
Here’s a sad look at murdered Muslim Canadian teenager Aqsa Parvez’s last days. You’ll note that some are disputing her friends’ testimony that she was killed over her defiance of the hijab and her parents’ insistence that she submit to Islam. The National Post compiles other stories of Muslim girls in the West murdered by their families (they missed Tina Isa):
CASES FROM ACROSS THE GLOBE
- Rajinder Singh Atwal stabbed his 17-year-old daughter, Amandeep, 17 times after he discovered she was dating a boy he disapproved of. Atwal was convicted of second-degree murder in British Columbia in March, 2005. He automatically received a life sentence of 25 years in prison.
-A devout Muslim’s strict religious beliefs drove him to murder his favourite daughter when he found her “secret” boyfriend in her bedroom, a jury in the U.K. heard in February, 2002, the Manchester Evening News reported. Faqir Mohammed, a father of 10 children, stabbed the 24-year-old student in the head after finding the man when he came home unexpectedly. His original target was the boyfriend, student Bilal Amin, but he escaped by jumping from the bedroom window. The father chased him, but when his daughter tried to stop him, he took hold of her and stabbed her repeatedly, reports stated. “According to the law it was not right, but according to religion it was right,” he told detectives.
-Hina Saleem, 21, was found buried in the backyard of her family’s home in Italy. Four men, including her father and uncle, were accused of premeditated murder and hiding the body, lawyer Carlo Bonardi was quoted as saying in an Associated Press story in August, 2006.
Ms. Saleem’s mother, Bushra Begun Saleem, told AP her daughter was disobedient — often out late without saying where she was or when she was coming home. She also said she did not forgive her husband for his alleged participation in the killing.
-A Kurdish immigrant in Sweden, who killed his daughter because he did not like her modern way of life, pleaded guilty to the murder in March, 2002. Rahmi Sahindal said he had not planned the killing but lost his temper when he came across his daughter, Fadime, while she was paying a secret visit to her mother and sisters in January. He gunned her down at point-blank range before their eyes. Fadime, 26, had fled the family home to escape from her father and other male relatives who did not want her to mix freely in Swedish society. Sahindal was trying to arrange a marriage for her in Turkey and threatened her when he found out she had been dating a Swedish man.
The Toronto Star reports that Aqsa’s friends were barred from her funeral by a family acting like it has something to hide:
Following her death, friends from Applewood Heights Secondary School spoke up about Parvez’s desire to fit in at school, her clashes with her father over traditional Muslim values and those of her school mates and over what she would or would not wear, including the hair-covering hijab.
Outgoing and rebellious, Parvez wanted to wear Western-style clothing, contrary, her friends say, to her father’s wishes. She had started to take off her hijab on the bus en route to school and put it back on in the afternoons.
Parvez fled from home twice in the past few months. The first time she went to a shelter. It was well known among her friends that a letter from her family describing how her parents couldn’t sleep without her home, and informing her she wouldn’t have to wear the hijab, persuaded her to return home. However, she ran away a second time weeks after.
“We were supportive of her during that time,” said her friend Jayjae, 17, who declined to give her last name. “She ran away because they didn’t let her be who she wanted to be.”
At the mound of snow-covered dirt they believed to be her grave, a dozen of her friends hugged. A few cried ceaselessly.
Under that emotion, however, there was fury.
“They’re ridiculous,” said 16-year-old Shanell Ridgwell, referring to Parvez’s family, tears streaming down her frozen cheeks. “I’m sure Aqsa would have loved for us to say last words, just to be there, to say it one last time. But nope. They have no respect for what other people think …”
“They weren’t her family,” Jayjae said. “The people who attended here today were. They didn’t respect the fact that we loved her, they don’t respect that. Someone took a life and now they’re taking it away from us.”
CTV reports on Aqsa’s brother being released on bail–and on continued whitewashing by unconvincing Muslim groups:
A Mississauga, Ont. man charged with obstructing police after the death of his 16-year-old sister, Aqsa Parvez, was granted bail in a Brampton courtroom on Friday.
Waqas Parvez, 26, was released on a recognizance and ordered to live with his surety and surrender his passport…
Leaders in the Muslim community held a news conference on Thursday to say the tragic death had nothing to do with Islam.
The religious figures said Islam in no way condones acts of violence, and the death shouldn’t reflect badly on their faith.
“The bottom line is, it’s a domestic violence issue,” Sheik Alaa El-Sayyed, imam at Mississauga’s Islamic Society of North America.
“We, as Muslims, are Canadians and we should be dealt with just like everyone else. We have rights, duties … pros and cons just like all other human beings.”
El-Sayyed said Islam teaches that women have the right to choose whether or not they want to wear the hijab.
But the Muslim leaders admitted a child who didn’t wear the hijab could bring shame to a family, and the parents could be viewed as failures in the community.

To those ‘moderate’ muslims and so called womens rights groups…
SILENCE IS CONSENT
Reasonable people are waking up to this pattern of whitewashing the truth: that under Sharia law, Muslim fathers & brothers can rape and/or kill their own flesh & blood to avenge anything they believe brings dishonor to their family. How strange that raping and killing one’s own daughter/sister is not among those family-dishonoring acts.
“Family violence”?? Yes, but in the name of Islam. Disgusting, insane religion.
This sick evil cult makes Charles Manson look like Mr. Rogers. ENOUGH!
If anyone thinks that this stuff is ever going away - think again. Their leaders approve it,And so does Allah..
I’ve been thinking about this case a lot over the past few days, particularly in the context of the Baby Grace murder, which I am sure would be brought up by feminist Dhimmis and Muslim apologists as a kind of “so there!” response to any criticism. There is a profound difference between the two cases, however. At no point would the parents of Baby Grace have claimed what they did was right. They would and are excusing it or trying to blame each other, etc., the usual criminal whine.
But in the Muslim community, the parents, the brothers, the whole extended family has the right to murder the women and children of the family — if they are perceived to bring dishonor to it. Not only the right, but the obligation, mandated by Allah. This is a completely different mind set and is a crucial part of the systemic problem we face with Islam.
Now according to Robert Spencer, honor killings are not mentioned in the Koran. They were a part of the culture that was swept up in the rise of Islam. But neither are honor killings condemned in the Koran or in the sanctioned sayings of Mohammad. Both sources make it quite clear that women and children are expendable — when they are not utterly irredeemable.
The Imams could do some good for a change by condemning these crimes without equivocation. They don’t and won’t. They clearly view Islam as being incredibly brittle, and should it ever happen that their women become free, the whole of their religion would collapse.
They are right.
It was against the law but not against the religion. This makes it clear that Muslims are incompatible in American society. Our laws mean nothing when they contradict Islam. They have no regard for any law unless it can be utilized to their advantage, such as installing the foot baths, altering the educational system, changing our culture and/or removing Christmas references from public areas., etc.
They should all be deported from the USA and the borders have to be closed to them. We have been forewarned and the dire consequences of their hostile, hate-filled actions are predictable but avoidable if we take some action now.
Does anybody else see a contradiction in this statement?
Which is it? Life in prison or 25 years.
Grunt, in Canada it is assumed that an adult has a life expectancy of 25 yrs… the healthcare system is set up that way because it is way too costly to care for any one over 55.
Besides how long do you think this guy will last in general population
once the “common criminals” learn why he is there.
Seems more like a religion of pieces (body pieces) than of peace.
Remember the late 80s and early 90s? Remember when zealots would kill abortion doctors? We pro-lifers would vehemently oppose that, because it is not pro-life. Moderate Muslims must begin doing the same.
Their silence is deafening.
Wait.. Not yet.. Wait for it.. Here it comes… Condemnation from the Immams of this murder is now echoing off the walls of NBC, ABC, CBS, Fox, and even CNN.
Okay, now those of you who believe that the aforementioned is true please call me to review my listing of oceanfront property in Arizona. Price reduced.
These people sicken me. Dialogue with them is useless. They believe that lying to the infidel is acceptable and they do it regularly. They can not be trusted. To do so will prove to be fatal to freedom everywhere.
All I can say to the statement is not fit to post on this site.
I have been off-line for a couple of days due to family business and Christmas events. I was able to assist my niece with my wife, son, and sister-in-law give birth to a beautiful baby girl Dec 15 at 2115 hrs. Forgot how much screaming and yelling was involved in the process since my son was born 23 years ago and it was not just coming from me either. Watching and assisting (even got to cut the cord) was a life affirming experience.
My niece had the misfortune of being a little careless with the father that took off like a scalded cat soon as he found out she was with child. From what I can gather, if in a Muslim household the head of the family (happens to be me for now) would have been responsible for avenging the family honor by killing her. Thus extinguishing two lives in a savage act of barbarism. Religion of peace my ass! After being privileged to witness this event the only way any female in my family will have to submit to Sharia Law will be over my cold dead body.
Finally heard this story on Fox news this morning (I know you won’t hear it anywhere else, doesn’t fit the template). Too bad many in this country are too self absorbed in their own lives to see what is going on around them. It is time to stop all immigration of Muslims to this country and to start to deport and strip followers of militant Islam of their US citizenship and fortify both borders. Their religion does not and will never fit into any Western democracy or our Republic.
Wonder how many abortion doctors have been killed by ‘zealots’? I’m guessing I wouldn’t run out of fingers counting them.. bringing this comparison in to the ‘muslim community killing their own’ starting say, from the 15 century, isn’t in the same galaxy…
Yesterday I did a survey of Muslim Blogs on this murder. They universally attributed it to her unwillingness to wear the hajib. Many were surprisingly sympathetic. All are astounded at the ignorance of the Police.
BTW, there are 10 honor crimes a month in Denmark, the vast majority do not end in murder. But many do result in serious injury. Islam is truly evil.
Womens rights groups were unavailable for comment.
#10 FOX is carrying it..
How can anyone take them seriously? The same “religion” that causes family members to kill other family members under the guise of “honoring” the family, is the same “religion” that wanted to kill a teacher over naming a teddy bear Mohammed.
The justification for both come directly from the Qu’ran, hadiths, etc…
I question their motives, I question their sanity, I question their “religion” and it leads me to one conclusion - kill or be killed.
Just to clarify, I meant - how can anyone take this religion seriously (i.e., as a religion) and not a cult.
Rancid, evil religion/life style. That’s all I can say because thinking about
what happened to her makes me furious. Any imam who doesn’t speak out
against this clearly condones it.
30 The msm don’t take them seriously when they are cutting innocent people heads off,for religion. people better wake up,and soon or it is going to be way to late.
Firstly, the Imams that say it has nothing to do with Islam are definitely lying through their missing teeth — They’re just doing PR. It’s the murduring sickos that are following the Koran to the letter.
As for our society, the leftists and media mofia won’t condone this easily, because they don’t want to feel judged for their own bad behavior and poor choices. If they set up a strong moral standard, someone is going to hold them to it, too.
Boomer #11 You and your family chose LIFE-you will never be sorry.
We here in LA realized the total evil of Islam when we observed Muslim men in various establishments on Ventura Blvd., laughing and congratulating the monsters who flew planes into the WTC and Pentagon on September 11, 2001.
Oops, media mafia….
Liberals suck. “It’s their way of life, who are we to judge.” “Live and let live.”
I agree, that liberals don’t realize what danger we are all up against.”
And that’s a damn shame.
Religion of nutcases. Is there any reason we keep inviting these violent, anti-Semitic, anti-American barbarians into our country? There are billions from around the globe that practice peaceful, civilized religions from Buddhism to Christianity who desperately want to come to America. Why do we need more barbaric Muslims in this country?
The guy quoted above is right when he states this is part of Islam. His action is not a “perversion” of his religion; it is and has always been his religion.
Oops,again —
condonecondemnIf living the Western life is wrong, why move to the West? Why not stay in your own country where your Sharia laws are normal way of life?
it doesn’t matter what the FK they say….the father KILLED! his daughter w/the help of family members……for what?????…………………………
…………………………………?
END OF CONVERSATION!
He automatically received a life sentence of 25 years in prison.???? Maybe if he was 75 years old…
I have never “invited” any of
these people into this country.
And I would never. The government brings them here as refugees. Florida
has plenty.
I do believe it is “becoming” more and more of a cult. I see these young women in the mall with skin tight jeans on wearing a hajib??? and that is modesty??? Oh, and the makeup…tons of it with huge earrings…this is not religion…
Then they involve CAIR when they can not play soccer with a hajib on or when
other students in schools do not understand why they are NOT allowed to wear hats/etc to school and these girls
are allowed to wear these things to school and in soccer games,etc. My own daughter WAS NEVER allowed to wear head gear or jewelry in ANY sport.
I am personally sick of this backwards,dark ages religion. A previous poster compared it to Charles Manson…that was
good…and just about true…except even
Manson did not kill his “own” family.
How long has this family lived in Canada? a decade or more? I guess that Canada isn’t in favor of assimilation then.
I’m still waiting for Ibrahim Hooper to speak out about this travesty, but I’m not holding my breath
Here’s a group of kids who won’t be likely to submit easily to Islam.
Their college years won’t be too tolerant of Islamic ideologues either.
Bald face lies. Its time to call out violent custom for what it is, its barbarism that has no place, anywhere.
…and the left believes that if we negotiate with these people they will leave us alone…
This is relative to your other post on Mrs. Edwards fears of Republicans….this is what she really ought to fear for herself and her daughters and every other woman in the world who is/would be subjected to this so called “religion”.
I have no sympathy for any of these middle aged freaks and I am sick of hearing about the “moderates”….I have not heard any “moderates”..who I have heard is those who have left the muslim world to speak out against it’s injustice.
If as everyone including CAIR say that “most” muslims are moderate than the “extreme” portion should have been gotten rid of by now…they have not because “most” are extreme.
My Dear Mrs. Edwards….are you on drugs!!!!
On December 16th, 2007 at 12:23 pm, JHSII said: “…and the left believes that if we negotiate with these people they will leave us alone…”.
The RoP wants to cut your daughter’s Cl*t out when she is 6 or 7…..will stone her to death if she dates a ‘BLACK’ man…. & will eventually KILL you & your husband, regardless of his great Hair!, because you are dhimmis. Can you spell ’submit’ Mrs.Edwards???!
The silence of women’s groups is what I find so disturbing in this case. Have they not heard about it? Perhaps not, they’ve been too busy searching out “more important” matters. Why just yesterday, I saw where a women’s group in Spain is protesting an Irish airline’s calendar featuring scantily clad flight attendants.
Let me get this straight,this women’s group is protesting the airline and the women in the calendar who willingly chose to do this, yet Aqsa Parvez was murdered because she chose not to wear a hijab and we aren’t hearing a peep out of them about this? Sick.
And shortly thereafter, the Associated (With Terrorists) Press rushes out a pro-dhiminitude piece about Dearbornistan. Of course there is going to be pressure to dress in slave clothes - you might die if you don’t.
More Muslim girls wear scarf in games

re: 36, pls note that Yahoo news has a 5 star rating system at the end of the story… clicking 1 star for “not at all” seemed like the right thing to do…
It’s hard for the liberals in Canada to whitewash this story. Thanks Michelle for having the best coverage of the entire story than any Canadian media outlet.
After I shovel snow, I’m ordering a couple of Mohammed bears. Since I can’t get them delivered here, there going to be delivered to my aunt in Dearbornistan!! That will just makes me love them even more!!
Why??? Because they are waiting for the order to attack. Plain and simple. Their goal is to instal Shari’a law in our country and they will not stop until it has come to pass.
Of course, the PC pols will never admit this. If they did, CAIR and the ACLU would sue them and their quest for power would be over. I’ll say it though.
These evil scumbags need to be deported and we should send the muslims home too.
Remember the DC snipers. Both were Muslims acting on behalf of their own jihad. Now imagine 50,000 more of them doing the same thing. I spoke with some local police officers in northern SC are where there is a muslim terror training camp up and running as we speak. They know they’re there but they can’t do anything yet because no law has been broken.
Maybe we can find another Jim Jones and somehow get him approved as an Imam? Want some Jihad flavored KoolAid before you go out? Either one has just as much as the other to do with “religion”.
A “domestic violence issue”? Christ almighty. What outrageous gall these jerks have to lie to our faces like that.
The fact of the matter is that if these cretins didn’t subscribe to a backwards, medieval theology that demands that women wear dishrags on their heads or die, THIS WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED.
So, no, Sheik Alaa El-Sayyed, this isn’t a “domestic violence” issue. It’s a “barbaric-culture-that-damned-well-needs-to-assimilate-or-get-the-hell-out-of-my-Canada” issue. And you’re part of the problem.
One of the things that truly upsets me about Aqsa’s story is that she came home
because her Mother said they ( the parents ) could not sleep with her gone. Are
they sleeping now? She is permanently gone from them, so how are they sleeping?
Actually, how are they living with themselves at all?
If there are moderates that do not believe in these killings, they need to stand up
and speak Out Loud. At least, that’s what I have told my friends. They say they are
afraid this will happen to them if they speak against honor killings.
One woman tried to tell me that Islam is really very protective of women.
Yeah. And I am going to believe that after all that I have seen and heard about
Islam!
The best kept secret about Islam is that their men are COWARDS!!! They scream & cry when caught, hide behind women & children when threatened, & use infants to blow up innocent civilians!
All that need be done is to stand up to these FKtards in no uncertain terms… for instance, put them in jail for breaking American laws….or better yet, send them back to their own countries so they can wipe their butts w/their hands, & copulate w/ their camels.
Hello, moderate Muslims!! Make a stand,…we Catholics did!… or be guilty by proxy of association.
For those media outlets that do not address the lunacy of Islam, in regards to this tragic MURDER, are contributing to “it’s OK, it’s their religion” as if they approve.
Time for either Islams who claim “peace and love” to speak out and abolish those who commit these crimes OR make Islam illegal in this country.
Time for America to wake up and see that Islam is nothing but a cult of evil hate mongers who eat their own.
What does the airhead panel on the View say? The daughter should have known better than to try and make a normal life for herself?
“According to the law it was not right, but according to religion it was right”. The regligion of peace. Go to the website with that exact title.
“They have no respect for what other people think…”
That sums up Islam nicely.
If anything, ANYTHING good can come of this, it’s that her friends will remember how this happened, why it happened and maybe one or two of them will DO something to change the way things are in Canada, or the world for that matter. Here’s hoping….
Good point. Islam calls for murder of those who do not submit, much like the mafia. Also, much like the mafia, “muslim brothers and sisters” belong to ummah, the muslim mafia family.
And another thing: For those western women take the shahada to join the murderous ummah, sorry, no sympathy for stupidity.
Another lie. Women don’t have any rights under Islamic teaching. We are possessions, sub-human creatures who must be strictly controlled and oppressed.
You hear incessant blather about how Christianity oppresses women, blah blah blah…but you’d be hard pressed to find even the slightest fraction of “honor killings” perpetrated by Christian families. As I’ve argued before, if that were the case, Christianity would be outlawed in a heartbeat. And a look at the history of the Church shows it to be the front runner in women’s issues back in the time of Christ.
I echo the sentiments above. I hope Aqsa’s friends learn something from this experience: namely, the threat Islamic culture poses to freedom, Western values, and the dignity of women.
To them I say: Remember your friend. Remember how and why she died. Fight like hell to make sure no other women die the same horrible death. Fight like hell against the misogynistic ideologies of Islam.
Lan astaslem. They will put me six feet under before they put me in a hijab.
And now, another one they will want to lie away.
This injured priest heads the Church of St. Mary in Ephesus. With the death rate of Catholic priests in Turkey, I’m surprised there are any churches there at all.
Turkey…another seat of autonomous power for the “Religion of Peace.”
Bhishma #49 ” sorry, no sympathy for stupidity.”
Exactly! because THAT is what got us in this predicament.
englishqueen01 #50 no hijab for me either!
a cautionary tale to all Dems, Rinos & islamo-symphathizers:
“Once Upon a Time
a very nice Person (probably American)
was walking through Central Park
& as it became nightfall,
& as our person had not yet arrived @ said destination,
a little fear & trepidation began to set in….
when who should be there right upfront in the middle of the Path?, but an old snake who said , “I am cold! & in need of assistance. If you will put me in your pocket to warm me up, I promise to always be your friend &! get you the FK outta here.”
Our person replied,”O my, but aren’t you a Snake?? I mean, you could seriously hurt me!!!” to which snake countered,”look, i’ma ‘victim’ bigotry, profiling, hate crimes you name it…& all because of some small mistake i made….but the ACLU won my case, so now it’s a Hate crime to think like that! about me,… you can trust me & besides,
I will be your FRIEND for Life!!”
.
No sooner did Person go to reach for the snake then it BIT! her/him
…doesn’t matter, & falling backwards in abject horror,Person cried out, ‘YOU SAID YOU WOULD BE MY FRIEND & GET ME OUTTA HERE!!
& NOW I WILL DIE!……….
to that,the snake replied,
‘you knew what I was when you picked me up.’ “
I wish Canada still had the death penalty for capital murder.
As far as I’m concerned, these people are barba….no, that would be an insult to barbarians. Muslims simply have no place at all in civilized society, and while I still hold out a shred of hope that may change, unless and until it does, every effort needs to be made to isolate them and eliminate their influence on the world.
Let us consider that these practices have been going on under our nose for decades. The main stream media (MSM) has always failed to fully disclose the nature of these dis-honor killings. But now we the new media and people like Michelle and places like Hot Air and others who are willing to report the entire story. I think we are seeing the beginnings of a very slow awakening of the general public to these matters. At least a million people have read this posting here.
A little girl killed by her own father…over clothes. We cannot, under any circumstances, tolerate this so-called religion.
I just got back from Orlando, FL visiting a relative. They pointed out a “new church” of muslims in their neighborhood. I went by the fenced compound which had warning no trespassing signs, was a men’s only gathering and had thuggish looking security guards at the front gate. Signs warned of security cameras. People say there is activity there all the time of men coming and going. What I saw was obviously middle eastern men gathered and not one woman. There are many churches along this road (near Central FL U.) but they don’t seem to have all the warnings or gates to keep the “infidels” out! I’m concerned what is going on in our neighborhoods.
A bit of good news, although I must take this with a grain of salt:
Source
So hopefully we’ll hear more “international outcry” at these barbaric acts and things will change.
Fox News is finally carrying this story.
That international pressure was necessary to stop Islamic barbarism, proves once again, that Islam has no place in a progressive and modern world.
We’ve been preached to for 30 years now by the multi-culti’s and the PC people that all cultures are the same. So it is with the Muslims. This is seen right and good in their eyes, who are we to criticize it? So a pretty teenager loses her life over a stupid scarf - that’s her father’s call. Family shame is more important that his daughter’s life.
I think we should have a separate set of laws for the Muslims. After all, they are just products of their culture. We should celebrate their diversity and their ways, while not ours, they are entitled to them.
Ok, this is sarcasm, but it’s true too.
When asked about it, Nancy Pelosi said, “What? I can’t hear you through this scarf…”
(OK, I made that up.)
They even lie to their own children to carry out the wishes of thier sicko religion. My guess is there was some Imam in the back ground coaching them on how to get her to comply.
And as Ann Coulter said “The Easter Bunny, Santa Clause and a Moderate Muslim walk into a bar. . . .” All fictitious characters.
The Rajinder Singh Atwal story is not about Muslims. Amandeep and Rajinder are common Sikh names.
Per this story here the Atwals attened a Sikh temple.
Meant to say ‘Attended’
How dare they defame poor peace loving muslims with these kinds of generalizations. /sarc off
