TORONTO, Ont. -- A 16-year-old girl has died after allegedly being choked by her father over a dispute with her family over her refusal to wear the hijab, the Islamic headscarf worn by some Muslim women.
Peel Regional Police arrested a 57-year-old man Tuesday morning after receiving a 911 call from a suburban home in Mississauga from a man saying he had killed his daughter, according to a Toronto newspaper Web site.
According to the National Post, a Toronto newspaper Web site, when police arrived at the house they found the teen on the floor without any vital signs.

This happened in Toronto??????
Do they have the death penalty up there?
Only for family members.
Police confirmed there were other family members home when the teen died.
Its a cultural thing. We shouldnt judge.
Its too bad Canada does not have the Death Penalty.
There is a guy in Vancouver who was convicted this week of raping and killing six women, butchering their bodies like animals and feeding them to his pigs, and who is accused of murdering 20 others, and they cannot bring themselves to execute him.
Alleged? Dispute?
Her father murdered her. Her brother interfered with police. These are not neutral acts.
Its been happening in Canada for years.
I remember a couple of years ago a case where a Muslim father killed his daughter because she was seeing a non-Muslim boy.
You’d think somebody like that would be in the execution express lane.
There’s a father who taught his mouthy, disobedient daughter a lesson.
Well right here in Ohio, they just convicted a guy who raped and strangled a 19 month old boy. They found the DNA evidence in the baby’s DIAPER!!! (How horrible it feels to read about evidence of rape being found in the diaper of an infant).
Anyway, the 3 judge panel decided life was okay and didn’t put him up for death.
So, it’s not just in Canada. We have losers (on both ends) right here and plenty of ‘em.
I guess he showed her ... and us. TROP my arse.
Look for him to be acquitted on “cultural grounds”.
How inbred do you have to be to produce breeders like these???
If Christians did this....it would be front page news and lead on all cable networks
But the Lamestream Media will give the “Faith of Hate” and the “Cult of Insanity” another pass.
History of the Death Penalty in Canada
The only method of execution ever used in Canada was hanging.
In 1859, offences punishable by death in Canada included: murder, rape, treason, administering poison or wounding with intent to commit murder, unlawfully abusing a girl under ten, buggery with man or beast, robbery with wounding, burglary with assault, arson, casting away a ship, and exhibiting a false signal endangering a ship.
By 1869, only three crimes were punishable by death: murder, rape and treason.
In 1961, legislation was passed which reclassified murder into capital and non-capital offences. Capital murder referred to planned or deliberate murder, murder that occurred during the course of other violent crimes, or the murder of a police officer or prison guard. At this time, only capital murder was punishable by death.
On December 10, 1962, Arthur Lucas and Robert Turpin were the last people to be executed in Canada.
In 1967, a bill was passed that placed a moratorium on the use of the death penalty, except in cases involving the murder of a police officer or corrections officer.
On July 14, 1976, with the exception of certain offences under the National Defence Act, the death penalty was abolished in Canada. The bill, C-84, passed by a narrow margin on a free vote.
In 1987, a free vote regarding the reinstatement of the death penalty was held in the House of Commons. The result of the vote was in favour of maintaining the abolition of the death penalty, 148 to127.
In 1998, Parliament removed the death penalty with the passing of An Act to Amend the National Defence Act and to make consequential amendments to other Acts, S.C. 1998 c. 35.
Before the death penalty was abolished in Canada, 1481 people were sentenced to death, and 710 of these were executed. Of the 710 executed, 697 were men, and 13 were women.
In Canada, the abolition of the death penalty is considered to be a principle of fundamental justice. Canada has played a key role in denouncing the use of capital punishment at the international level.
The Supreme Court of Canada has held that prior to extraditing an individual for a capital crime, Canada must seek assurances, save in exceptional circumstances from the requesting state that the death penalty will not be applied.

The women of the View will say she haqd it coming,
Love conquers all. What is it with some of the male muslims who seem to hate women, even their offspring?
Yeah, their culture is not a threat. And 9/11 was a fluke.
