| My personal take on this is when you come to a new country where your culture/customs arent practiced the way it does from the country you came from,you should let your childern decide for themseleves what they want to do with there own image and how they want to live....Religion shouldnt be forced on to someone it should be something that you do when you feel like doing it from your heart. |

| quote: | Teen Dies After Being Choked In Her Own Home
She wanted to be more Western.
He wanted her to be more traditional.
And that clash of cultures may have been what led a father to allegedly choke and kill his daughter on Monday. Police are saying very little about what happened in a home on normally quiet Longhorn Trail in the Eglinton and Hurontario area of Mississauga. But the friends of 16-year-old Aqsa Parvez claim she was desperately trying to pull away from the strict traditions of her devout Muslim family and lived in fear of her father.
"Every single time, we'd get off the school bus she would always want me to walk her halfway home because she was paranoid her dad or brother would follow her home," remembers Ashley Garbutt. "She used to walk the rest of the way home. I stopped for a little while and after, I kept continuing because I understood it was a serious matter. And then after, I was expecting her to come to school on Monday and everything was going to be fine."
But as students at Applewood Heights Secondary School discovered during when the announcement of their friends' death came over the PA system on Tuesday, nothing was.
Aqsa passed away in hospital overnight. The sad story began around 8am the day before when a man called police to report he'd murdered his daughter. Authorities found the girl clinging to life. She'd reportedly been choked into unconsciousness. Her father, identified as 57-year-old cab driver Muhammad Parvez, was taken into custody at the scene.
Her friends tell of a troubled family life, with the teen refusing to wear the traditional head covering hijab, and preferring more Western-style clothing.
They say she'd moved out and was staying with a friend, and may have gone back to get her things when the confrontation began. "She's kind of rebellious a bit," confirms classmate Heather Bottecher. "She's supposed to wear the hijab. But she doesn't usually wear it. And she usually wears short sleeves when you're supposed to wear long sleeves. And she wears, like, low cut shirts and stuff like that."
"We noticed a drastic change in her appearance," another friend named Shianne Phillips recalls. "Like, she used to dress religiously. Now she's dressing in, like, more causal clothing, like other people."
There are reports the teen would wear the special garb to school then change when she got there to fool her father.
The entire family - seven adults and three children - was questioned by police after the crime and cops claim they found enough evidence to charge the victim's brother, 26-year-old Waqas Parvez, with obstructing justice.
Grief counsellors were at the school on Tuesday to try and help shocked students cope with the loss. |

Things like this make me feel so helpless! I really hope one day I can personally make a difference and be in a position to educate Muslim immigrants on the best way to adapt here. I feel like my parents did a good job and I wish all children had the same fortune. :( :( :( :(

Last Updated: Tuesday, December 11, 2007 | 9:58 AM ET
Peel Regional Police on Tuesday released the name of a 16-year-old Mississauga teen who died after allegedly being attacked by her father.
Aqsa Parvez was found in her Longhorn Trail home on Monday morning without any vital signs.
Paramedics managed to revive her and took her to Toronto's Sick Children's Hospital where she died late Monday night.
Police said they received a call from a man who said he'd just killed his daughter.
The victim's father, Muhammad Parvez, 57, was arrested at the scene. He will appear in court on Tuesday and face murder charges.
Aqsa Parvez's friends told CBC News that the teen had been having arguments with her father because he allegedly wanted her to wear a traditional hijab.
"She kinda wanted to go a different way from the way her family wanted her to go," said one friend.
They also said that she wanted to escape the family conflict by running away.
On the family's quiet street, neighbours were dismayed, calling the events "a tragedy."
One neighbour said she was "praying for the family."
At the teen's school, Applewood Heights Secondary School, grief counsellors have been called in and tributes are being arranged.
"Aqsa was well-known at the school," said Sylvia Link, communications manager for the Peel District School Board.
"She had a wide circle of friends and … those closest to her really are [the] most affected. But anyone at the school, you know our school is like a family, you know anyone at the school is really going to be shocked and saddened by this tragic news."
Waqas Parvez, the victim's 26-year-old brother, has also been arrested and charged with obstructing police. |
