It saddens me that he took the life of his daughter over something as ridiculous as this.
This is Canada FFS, not the Middle East.
Though the death is sad and unfortunate, the hijab is not ridiculous. I don't believe this is a muslim issue, as bad people are everywhere.Edifice said:It saddens me that he took the life of his daughter over something as ridiculous as this.

Most likely it is partly a religous issue on a minor scale. I wouldn't believe that this would be considered a prevalent course of action among North American Muslims.Neverenuff$ said:Apparently her brother was charged with obstructing justice as well...
A strong condemnation by the Muslim leadership would be a good idea...
Maybe then it will be viewed not as religeous issue but "simply" a whackjob father and family members acting out against a rebelious teenager
that said.. i'll bet its gonna play out as a religious issue .....and (my words) I'm damn sure it is (a religous issue)

Probably either is right...... But the main issue here is that there are probably LOTS of girls from similar backgrounds doing the same thing & you never hear about it because their fathers aren't crazy assholes.... The Murderer's actions are wat define this situation. Religion & culture may have been the triggers but this killing was caused by a nutter that couldn't handle his shit.Brownie69 said:Most likely it is partly a religous issue on a minor scale.

There is probably a cultural aspect to this as well.
Whatever the reason for the death, let's pray (in any denominational prayer that we chose) for her soul.Neverenuff$ said:Apparently her brother was charged with obstructing justice as well...
