It is kind of hard to deal with lobotomized folks who willingly murder their daughters. The girls brother was also arrested.
BTW: There is along list of male kin whose duty it is to kill family females who do not conform.

Parvez, 57, called the police after the early morning incident Monday. When police and ambulance reached the two-storey home in suburb, which is dominated by South Asians, they found the girl lying in a faint.
She was rushed to a nearby hospital and later shifted to a hospital in Toronto and put on life support system. But it was of no avail. Aqsa died Monday night.
Parvez was arrested and later remanded to police custody.
Aqsa's classmates at the local Applewood Heights Secondary School said the girl had problems with her family for some time as she refused to wear the hijab, the headdress worn by Muslim women in some countries.
On her father's insistence, they said, she would wear the hijab while leaving home only to replace it with trendy clothes when she reached school. They recalled how she would sometimes run to the washroom to change into modern dress.
The incident has shocked modern Muslims across Canada. Toronto-based Sonia Ahmed, who runs the Miss World Pakistan and grooms Pakistani-origin girls for Miss Bikini and other pageants, said angrily: 'The hijab was never a part of Pakistani dress. It is an Arab imposition. This should be banned all over North America. This killer father will now think that he has done the `right thing', and he can now go to heaven and claim his 70 virgins. Hang him.'
'Ninety-nine percent of our girls want to be free. But because of parental restrictions, they are forced to live dual lives. At home, they live as their parents want. But outside, they have all the fun,' Ahmed told IANS.
For various reasons, she said, Pakistanis don't want to blend with Indians 'whose culture is all dance and song. So they end up with the Arab immigrants. Hence this Arab culture and hijab among Pakistanis'.
'But we Pakistanis are South Asians and the South Asian culture is different. Zia-ul Haq started the hijabisation of Pakistan when started his Islamisation drive. He invited Arab Wahabi scholars who married Pakistani women and started the hijab tradition.'
Ausma Khan, editor-in-chief of Muslim Girl magazine, was also outraged: 'It is a tiny minority for whom the hijab is an issue. Many of our readers in the 18-24 age group say hijab is an expression of their personality. It is their choice, not anybody's imposition.'
Opposing parental impositions on young girls, she said, 'I am sure the tragedy will spark a debate on what is wrong with the Muslims and the issues surrounding the hijab. But this tragedy is an example of a cultural and generational conflict.'"

Another Arab imposition on a way of life, Pakistan is one country thathad Islam forced on it,bound to trickle over through immigration to the west....need a wahabi screening process at the border...?
That dad is sick just like any other dad who strangles his kid for wearing or not wearing something.
When are people going to wisen up to the fact that the majority of Muslims coming over here are not peaceful, and refuse to conform to the laws of the land here. Never should a persons religious beliefs be an excusee for cold hearted murder.

Terrible thing to happen to that young gal.
1.) Pakistanis are not Arabs. 2.) Only about12% of the Pakistani electorate voted forIslamic fundamentalist candidates last election.
It's not Pakistan, it's the psychos out there...
I hope this one in particularly gets his due in prison.
Islamic fundamentalism is declining there or just the numbers of candidates subscribing to the democratic process that is supposedly there?
Islam arrived in the area now known as Pakistan in 711CE, when the Umayyad dynasty sent a Muslim Arab army led by Muhammad bin Qasim against the ruler of Sindh, Raja Dahir, whose pirates attacked Arab ships. The army conquered the northwestern part of ancient India from Kashmir to the Arabian Sea. The arrival of the Arab Muslims to the provinces of Sindh and Punjab, along with subsequent Muslim dynasties, set the stage for the religious boundaries of India that would lead to the development of the modern state of Pakistan as well as forming the foundation for Islamic rule which quickly spread across much of India.
Being conquered by Arabs is one thing. Being an Arab is another. Pakistan has several substantial Central Asian ethnic groups that most certainly did not originate within the Arabian Peninsula.
