Reader Mail: Dishonor Killing of Aqsa Parvez
June 27, 2008
ERS writes in with her thoughts on the upgraded charges now faced by Waqas Parvez for his role in the killing of Aqsa Parvez, his 16-year old sister, for the “dishonour” she brought to the family by refusing to wear an Islamic headscarf.
This is a nice turn of events. I hope, in the end, justice is served in this case.

It is a nice turn of events, O Reader, and the hope that justice will be served is shared by many. It is through cases like these that Canada is given the opportunity to stand up and say “we do not want this here.” That’s an opportunity we need to take at times.
Update: Welcome, Steynians!
