Aqsa Parvez was murdered in 2007. Her father and brother pleaded guilty Tuesday.

The father and brother of Aqsa Parvez have pleaded guilty to murdering the rebellious 16-year-old in an abhorrent honour killing.

Muhammad Parvez, 60, and his son, Waqas, 29, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder Tuesday in the Dec. 10 2007 strangulation of Aqsa and they face an automatic term of life in prison .

At the time of her shocking murder, which Peel Police have described as a “planned and deliberate act,” the Grade 11 Mississauga student was estranged from her Muslim family because she was bristling at their restrictions. She had moved in with a friend’s family and no longer wore a hijab in her Applewood high school in Mississauga.

In an agreed statement of facts read by Sandra Caponecchia, court heard Aqsa, who had already been promised by her family in an arranged marriage, ran away from home twice because of her lack of freedom. With assistance from her school counselor, she stayed at a shelter the first time and with a friend the next. Despite her father allowing her to wear Western clothes and begging her to return, she refused to come back.

She had told her friends that her dad had sworn on the Koran that he would kill her if she ran away again.

On Dec. 10, her brother Waqsa confronted her at the school bus stop and she was taken away in the Parvez van at about 7:20 am. Just over 30 minutes later, her father called 911 and said he “killed his daughter” using his hands. Continue Reading →

MONTREAL – A 38-year-old woman is scheduled to be arraigned Monday afternoon on charges of attempted murder, armed assault and possession of a weapon with dangerous intent after her daughter, 19, suffered serious stab wounds at the family’s West Island home.

The victim suffered significant injuries to her head and face but was listed in stable condition Monday, police said.

Police said the weapon used was a large kitchen knife. The victim was attacked at her home on Louise Lamy St. near Carson Ave. in Dorval about 8:15 a.m. Sunday. The victim’s father and three sisters, age 10, 14 and 16, were home at the time of the stabbing, police Constable Anie Lemieux said.

Montreal police Constable Olivier Lapointe said the incident is being investigated as a possible honour crime, generally defined as an act of violence perpetrated because the victim is believed to have brought dishonor upon the family. The family is originally from Afghanistan, police said.

Lapointe noted that the victim had stayed out all night before she was attacked and this will be considered as part of the investigation.

Saudi Clerics Advocate Adult Breast-Feeding

h/t Lili Gobi

From AOL news:

(June 5) — Women in Saudi Arabia should give their breast milk to male colleagues and acquaintances in order to avoid breaking strict Islamic law forbidding mixing between the sexes, two powerful Saudi clerics have said. They are at odds, however, over precisely how the milk should be conveyed.

A fatwa issued recently about adult breast-feeding to establish “maternal relations” and preclude the possibility of sexual contact has resulted in a week’s worth of newspaper headlines in Saudi Arabia. Some have found the debate so bizarre that they’re calling for stricter regulations about how and when fatwas should be issued.

Sheikh Al Obeikan, an adviser to the royal court and consultant to the Ministry of Justice, set off a firestorm of controversy recently when he said on TV that women who come into regular contact with men who aren’t related to them ought to give them their breast milk so they will be considered relatives.

“The man should take the milk, but not directly from the breast of the woman,” Al Obeikan said, according to Gulf News. “He should drink it and then becomes a relative of the family, a fact that allows him to come in contact with the women without breaking Islam’s rules about mixing.”

Obeikan said the fatwa applied to men who live in the same house or come into contact with women on a regular basis, except for drivers.

Al Obeikan, who made the statement after being asked on TV about a 2007 fatwa issued by an Egyptian scholar about adult breast-feeding, said that the breast milk ought to be pumped out and given to men in a glass.

But his remarks were followed by an announcement by another high-profile sheik, Abi Ishaq Al Huwaini, who said that men should suckle the breast milk directly from a woman’s breast.

Shortly after the two sheiks weighed in on the matter, a bus driver in the country’s Eastern Region reportedly told one of the female teachers whom he drives regularly that he wanted to suckle milk from her breast. The teacher has threaten to file a lawsuit against him. Continue Reading →

Islamic Cleric Says, (There Will be Blood in the Streets)

From onaired:

Islamic Cleric Says ‘There Will be Blood in the Streets” when Hundreds of Muslims from Britain Attend Burqa Ban Protest in Belgium.

Anjem Choudary also issued a statement that if Sayeeda Warsi female politician would visit Muslim community she might face violence against her.

Sayeed Warsi has been slammed by the Islamic fundamentalists who warned she could be in physical danger if she visits Muslim communities.

She is the 39 year old and first female Muslim to be given full Cabinet position. It also has been stated by Anjem Choudary that she has betrayed her religion. According to him  “She may look like a Muslim and have a Muslim-sounding name but she does not ­represent Islam or anyone in this country who is a Muslim.
She is a ‘coconut’, brown on the outside but white on the inside.
“In fact, she is whiter than most of the other white people in government.
“She is a disgrace and many true Muslims are angry that she claims to stand for Islam despite betraying Allah.”
Anjem choudary whose group Islam4UK was banned by the last government has predicted that Warsi would become the focus of hate.

He said: “She will be attacked by eggs every time she goes near a Muslim community. “Some more extreme protesters may take the attacks further. There is no doubt she is in danger.”

Choudary and his supporter will be heading to Brussels on Saturday to join a protest agains Belgium’s bid to ban the burka.
He said:
“There will be hundreds of Muslims from Britain heading to Belgium to join with thousands of our brethren to fight against this tyranny.

“We will fight all attempts to destroy ­Islam.
“There will be blood on the streets.”

The plight of Hindu minority in Islamic Republic of Pakistan

From Transparent Middle East:


LAHORE: Pakistani human rights activists are perturbed by the erosion of minority rights, particularly the alarming frequency with which cases of forcible conversion of the country’s Hindu nationals are surfacing.

In a latest case of forced conversion, the head of a religious seminary in Rahim Yar Khan district of Pakistani Punjab first abducted a minor Hindu girl and then stopped her from meeting her parents, saying the girl had converted to Islam and no longer wanted to meet her “non-Muslim relatives”.

According to Mehnga Ram, the father of the 13 year old Hindu girl, his daughter Radha was abducted in December 2009 and since then she is not being allowed to see her parents. “Since her abduction, we have knocked on every door stretching from the president of Pakistan to the chief minister of Punjab, but to no avail. In fact, local police, including the district police officer of Rahim Yar Khan are supporting those who had abducted Radha”.

He adds: “The police authorities are neither registering a first information report (FIR) against the accused, nor are they taking any action to recover the girl from the custody of Abdul Jabbar”. Mehnga Ram said his daughter had been missing since December 21, 2009, and the family had searched for her everywhere. Eventually, he said, some locals informed him that the girl was in the possession of the head of the Darul Aloom in Khanpur. Continue Reading →

Egypt to strip men married to Israelis of citizenship

Egypt to strip men married to Israelis of citizenship. Yahoo News

AFP/File – Egyptian couples arrive at Cairo stadium for a collective wedding organised by Karme el-Islam association, …
by Jailan Zayan Jailan Zayan – Sat Jun 5, 11:14 am ET
CAIRO (AFP) – A Cairo court on Saturday upheld a ruling to strip Egyptian men married to Israeli women of their citizenship in a case that has highlighted national sentiment towards Israel.
Judge Mohammed al-Husseini, sitting on the Supreme Administrative Court, said the interior ministry must ask the cabinet to take the necessary steps to strip Egyptian men married to Israeli women, and their children, of their citizenship.
The court said that each case should be considered separately, in a ruling that cannot be appealed.
The ruling reflects Egyptian sentiment towards Israel, more than 30 years after Egypt signed an unpopular peace deal with the Jewish state.
Before reading the verdict, Husseini said the case would not apply to Egyptian men married to Arab Israeli women.
“The case for (Egyptian) men married to Israeli Arab women is different to those married to Israeli women of Jewish origin because (Israeli Arabs) have lived under Israeli occupation,” Husseini told the court. Continue Reading →

Let not the believers take the disbelievers as patrons – — unless you protect yourselves against them, as a safeguard (tuqa-tan, ‘as a safeguard’, is the verbal noun from TAQIYYAtan), that is to say, [unless] you fear something, in which case you may show patronage to them through words, but not in your hearts: this was before the hegemony of Islam and [the dispensation] applies to any individual residing in a land with no say in it

(Let not the believers take) – – (disbelievers) – – (for their friends) – – (unless (it be) that ye but guard yourselves against them) save yourselves from them, (taking (as it were) security) saving yourselves from them by speaking in a friendly way towards them with, while your hearts dislikes this.

Al-Ghazali is one of the most famous and respected Muslim theologians of all time
“Speaking is a means to achieve objectives. If a praiseworthy aim is attainable through both telling the truth and lying, it is unlawful to accomplish through lying because there is no need for it. When it is possible to achieve such an aim by lying but not by telling the truth, it is permissible to lie if attaining the goal is permissible.” (Ahmad ibn Naqib al-Misri, The Reliance of the Traveller, translated by Nuh Ha Mim Keller, amana publications, 1997, section r8.2, page 745)

Steve Madeley interviews a Canadian anti-free-speech Muslim group

What is rather interesting, is that this spokesman appeared on the Madeley show on CFRA Ottawa, to advocate for giving more powers to the Canadian Human Rights Commission in order to silence criticism of Islam as ‘Islamophobic’. However was fast on the draw to explain to Steve how “We are all entitled to our opinions”. Look Sameer, you cant have it both ways. Either you want the CHRC to control me, or only you are entitled to an opinion. My opinion is that Islam is fascist and the sooner rid of it the better.

Is that opinion OK with you and your commission friends?

Saudi’s on MTV’s ‘True Life’ sued, face punishment for ‘openly declaring sin’

I want my ‘openly declaring sin’ MTV!

Three Saudi youths (none pictured here) who will appear on an upcoming episode of MTV’s reality show True Life could face punishments including prison and lashing for their on-air discussion of wanting more freedoms in their homeland. One girl, Fatima, tried to open a business selling cloaks in colours other than black.

Three Saudi youth may face punishment for appearing on the MTV reality show True Life to talk about ways they’re resisting the country’s strict morality, after the Saudi religious police filed a lawsuit against them for the crime of “openly declaring sin.”

The police are trying to drag the three into court and, if successful, charge them. The teens starred in an episode of the MTV documentary series, which originally aired in Saudi Arabia on May 24, called “Resist the Power! Saudi Arabia.” The program followed three characters, identified only by their first names: Aziz, who tries to meet his girlfriend for a date; Fatima, who tries to open a business selling cloaks in colours other than black; and Ahmad, who thinks women should be able to run for and hold elected office.

On the show, Aziz says, “We are not free to live as we like,” and describes the difficulty he experiences when trying to go on dates in Jeddah with his girlfriend.

An officer at the Jeddah court said it would take at least a week to decide whether to proceed to trial.

The Saudi judiciary system, based on an austere reading of Islamic sharia law, metes out harsh punishments for morality offences, sometimes including lashes with a whip and years of imprisonment. Last year, a Saudi named Mazen Abdul-Jawad was sentenced to 1,000 lashes and five years in prison for discussing his sexual affairs on a show televised by the Lebanese Broadcasting Corporation.

“It will be very difficult to stop the religious clockwork once this gets to court,” a Saudi lawyer told Reuters yesterday. The True Life subjects “may face harsh sanctions like those dealt to Abdul-Jawad.”

–True Life “Resist the Power! Saudi Arabia” will air in Canada on July 12 at 3 p.m. ET on MTV2. Click here for more details. mtv.ca/tvshows/true-life for more information.
