Aqsa’s friend, Dominiquia Holmes-Thompson, 16, recalled her saying that something could possibly “happen” to her. Asqa was afraid of her father, according to friends, who say he strictly controlled her and would not allow her to go out. She began staying at the home of a high school friend, Lubna Tahir. “He said that if she leaves, he would kill her”, Holmes-Thompson says.
Asqa asked to move in with the Tahir’s who lived in the same neighborhood, but she returned home one last time. Her brother reportedly saw her at a bus stop and offered to take her home to get a change of clothing. It is not uncommon for a brother in a Muslim family in Pakistan — where Asqa was born — to lure a girl to a place where the family can make her the target of an “honor killing”, an angle now being investigated by police. It was after Asqa returned home that her father called 911 and said, “I killed my daughter.”
When Asqa — Al Asqa is the name of a Muslim Holy site — stood up to her fundamentalist Islamic father, she was doing a favor for women everywhere at risk from Islam. Like those who fought Sharia law in Ontario, did all women a favor. And like a few female teachers in Ontario did all women a favor a few years back when they said they did not want girls to wear the hijab in their classrooms because it was a sign of the subjugation of women.
And now Asqa’s dead, which underscores just why Islam has to be stood up to, instead of being coddled by the great Canadian multi-culti bear hug.
Guess who else had an Islamic father who believed that violence was an acceptable means of enforcing the subjugating women? Marc Lepine, aka Gamil Gharbi, who massacred 14 women at L’ecole Polytechnique in Montreal. (See article on this Islamic connection “Downtown Eastside Enquirer

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackI should add something. I wrote this article on Wednesday and then on Thursday night the CBC, Canada’s public broadcaster, covered a press conference by a couple of Islamic Imams [religious leaders]. They said that the murder of Aqsa was not Islam-based and was in fact not acceptable under Islam. One of them stated — his statement was clearly prepared — that girls and boys are considered equal under Islam, both “gifts from the creator”.
I wondered, “Are those Imams practicing takiya?” Takiya is the practice, encouraged under Islam, of lying to infidels, telling infidels what they want to hear to keep them off guard.
The liberal CBC has become a vehicle for takiya. They even have a sitcom now called, “Little Mosque on the Prairie”.
Islam did NOT kill this girl, no more than Christianity killed Megan Meier!
Keep in mind this is a single instance of a crime. Compare it with the video that pops up now and again of a stalker abducting a young woman who is later found dead. Aqsa Parvez’s death is NOT a normal “islamic event.” I remember a kid in 1st grade whose Christian mother forced him to kneel in rock salt when he was bad until his knees bled. When he was 12 she beat him so badly he lost hearing in one ear. Parents are sometimes overprotective, sometimes STUPID, like the woman who created the phony MySpace page that led to the suicide of Megan Meier. But that’s another story…

Dave Lucas,
The argument you’re using is called “moral equivalence” — Christians can be bad too, so don’t paint Islamists as being the bad guys. It is an argument often used by multiculturalists to excuse the systematic abuse of women under Islam. But it doesn’t hold up under scrutiny.
Hirsi Ali, a woman born in Somalia and raised Muslim, points out that Islam, unlike religions such as Christianity and Judaism, has not re-assessed and discarded teachings which systematically result in violence toward women. Since immigrating to the U.S. she has written a book called, “Infidel”.
Well, it’s not moral equivalence that is the problem, but knowledge of Islam.
Female circumcision predates Islam (Mohammed cautioned that it be done carefully, knowing he wasn’t able to stop the custom). And Kikuyu and other pagan African tribes practice female circumcision.
On the other hand, it is almost unknown in the country with the largest Female population: i.e. Indonesia.
Female abuse occurs when men try to control women. It occurs in all sorts of societies (Africa/Asia/South America/North America). However, “honor killing” is a mainly Arab custom: one that occurs in Palestinian Christians, for example, but not in other Islamic countries.
The problem for this girl is that a vile narrow minded type of Islam is being spread via Saudi funded mosques all over the world. And these immans stress veiling women, intolorance of other religions etc.
Well, it’s not moral equivalence that is the problem, but knowledge of Islam.
Islam, like any other ideology, is how it is practiced and not how it is “written”. It does appear that Islam seems to be quite accident prone what it comes to being understood correctly - and most accidents seem to end lethally. That’s where imams need to play a more proactive role rather than one of damage control.
the article is just one sided.be brave and neutral.there are hundreds of incidents like that happening in north america daily.rape and murder is a common thing.if you would like to say something about islam ,first read Quran.the incident was horrible but dont relate it to islam.islam gives woman the peace and protection which they can not find any where.
