North American honor killing [Mark Steyn]
Rather than Steyn columns, this is the sort of issue a body calling itself the "Canadian Islamic Congress" ought to be concerning itself with:
Muhammad Parvez, 57, has been charged with murder in connection with the death of his daughter, Aqsa Parvez. He will appear Tuesday in a Brampton court.
The victim's 26-year-old brother, Waqas Parvez, has been charged with obstructing police.
Students at nearby Applewood Heights Secondary School in Mississauga said the teen had recently clashed with her family after ceasing to wear a hijab and adopting a more Western style of dress.
UPDATE: I'm told by Toronto readers that CITY-TV's call-in poll on the story this lunchtime posed the following question:
Do you think society discriminates against women who wear a hijab?
Gotcha. It's our fault.
