No Hajib, You Die
A young teenage girl whose misfortune of being born into a family who practice strick rules of Islam was murdered by her own father.
A Canadian cab driver charged with strangling his 16-year-old daughter after friends said she refused to wear a Muslim head scarf and follow conservative religious values was denied bail on Wednesday.
Do you remember when you were 16 years old? I bet you didn’t always do what you’re parents wanted you to do anymore than I did. Aqsa Parvez apparently had an issue with the strict guidelines of her father’s religion. But unlike the more tolerant religions in the world, the religion of peace (ie: Islam) demands that when a child acts out like a teenager will, they are to be murdered. That is what I get from this story.
According to her friends, Aqsa Parvez wore the hijab when she started school at Applewood Heights last year. But after getting teased about the head scarf, she stopped wearing it a few months ago. Friends said she led a double life, wearing track pants to school and then changing into trendier, close-fitting jeans while at school.
“Her parents would follow her to school or her sisters would and then go home and tell her parents what she was wearing,” said Joel Brown, 17. “They’d come to the backdoors, just to spy up on her. Aqsa was always afraid of them, especially her brother who she’d sometimes see walking towards her, and she’d have to scramble to put her hijab back on.”
All she wanted to was be like the other 16 year old girls in her school. Yes, she should have listened to her parents while she was living with them and underage, but come on — to murder her for defying them? How many children would we have dead in this country if everyone was killed for defying their parents? The next generation would be gone post haste.
We all know kids who came to school and put on their make-up there (raising hand), or took off the ugly pants for a mini-skit (raising hand) because their parents didn’t believe, or want, them to dress that way. You could go into the ladies bathroom at my school any given morning and find us all there sharing make-up, changing into clothes we kept in our locker; bought with money from our after-school jobs. Sure sometimes we were caught if mom showed up to school unannounced, but we didn’t fear being murdered.
If you want to continue to believe the religion of peace is just that … reread the story about a young 16 year old girl who just wanted to fit in and was murdered by her own father.

Islam has never been about peace. To the contrary, it is a form of mass mind control.
Islam doesn’t present the follower with a choice for living. It demands that a person follow the strict path or else! It denies the human spirit the very essence of its existence by closing the doors to life.
Is it any wonder that the majority of the Islamic nations, even though many of them are quite wealthy, are also the most backward and barbaric?

Not having children, I don’t understand the process of raising a child; but I was one once and one that defied my mother on a regular basis. Its part of the growing process. For all my mother isn’t, when it came to religion, she had us go to church until we were 16. Then we were allowed to make our decision from that point on. She said, “You need to know where you’re family comes from belief wise, but its up to you if you want to stay there.”
