Too many so-called spokespeople in the Islamic community just don't get it.
There is absolutely no way, not one possible way... NOT ONE, YOU FREAKS... to justify strangling a 16 year-old girl.
-- Mississauga -- Dr. Mohammad Iqbal Alnadvi, Imam director of the Al-Falah Islamic Centre in Oakville, denounced the killing and said there were other problems the teen was facing.But Mo, you're not really talking about the problems Aqsa Parvez was facing. You're talking about... and incredibly... attempting to justify... why Daddy Dearest killed his own daughter.
"Some information that I am gathering is that the issue was bigger than the hijab. That was one of the issues. But this girl, she refused to stay at home and she was out of the home and there was the feeling that she was going in the wrong direction because she was living with other people."
THIS IS CANADA:
Mohammad, buddy, here's what you and your friends seem to be missing... this is not some primitive village in the tribal hinterlands of Pakistan. We don't even execute people like Clifford Olsen, or Paul Bernardo... never mind defiant teenage girls.
UPDATE: El-Mo decides to start over
Mohamed Elmasry, President of the Canadian Islamic Congress... after initially stepping on his dick... by characterising the murder of Aqsa Parvez as a "teenager issue"... has hastily reissued a less inflammatory statement.
"In the sombre light of the recent tragic death of our community’s 16-year-old sister and daughter, Aqsa Parvez of Toronto, our national organization is taking immediate educational measures to ensure that such sad ending of a young life never happens again among Canadian Muslims."Way to audible, Peyton.

FROM THE COMMENTS:
Ahmed says... "In conclusion, I do not accept what *some* scholars are claiming, nor do I accept what *some* terrorists are doing, and in my book, that doesn't make me a bad Muslim, because after all I believe in peace and equality for all humans, and in my book I believe that makes me a better human!"
"I consider any and all mischievous actions as bad, not MUSLIM bad, not CHRISTIAN bad, not JEWISH bad, JUST BAD!"Well, Ahmed, I see the overall point you're trying to make here. You do get that characterising strangling a teenage girl as a "mischievous action" is gonna upset a few folks, right?
