Shrieking hatemonger and Blogging Tory "Neo Conservative" wants to make sure you know about the "RELIGION OF DEATH":
Let's see if all the people who have been losing their minds over tasers... are equally sympathetic... in this case.
"At 7:55 a.m., we received a 911 call from a man claiming that he had just killed his daughter," Constable J.P. Valade of Peel Police said.
Some of the teen's schoolmates said the Grade 11 student had rebelled against her parents recently by refusing to wear a hijab.
Hey, Neo ... I'll see your Muslim killing their kid, and raise you a bunch of Christians killing their kids.
I'm betting that's somehow different. It always is, isn't it?

CC - this comes way too close to a variation on "they" did it first or worst. There's something cheap in playing this girl in a high stakes which-religion-is-wackier game of oneupmanship.
If this man killed his daughter, regardless if the speculation on why he killed her turns out to be accurate, then every sensible person will agree he should suffer the maximum penalty the law offers. And if any family member stood by and allowed this to happen, or worse, aided it, they should be charged and tried as well.
The shrieking hate-mongers are waiting to play the game - don't give the bastards the satisfaction. Let them sit there oozing smugness - eventually it will become obvious that the hate-mongers take comfort, in some twisted fashion, in the death of this girl because it "justifies" their loathing.

Not even remotely -- it's pointing out how hypocritical and selective these people are in casting their aspersions. There's a difference.
Did you read the rest, CC? They want us to do this - turn it into Christian crime versus Muslim crime, an then into an even more paltry and sordid battle between Left and Right.
Much as you or I may want to point out that insane thinking is simply insane thinking - religion, in other words - the fact is it smells like a defense of the indefensible. Even if we "win" on the numbers, we still lose, because the conversation has been turned from what to do about religiously motivated murder, into a numbers game.
Meantime, there is a sixteen-year-old dead girl on a slab. That alone should provoke universal condemnation. Throw the book at lunatic who did it, and whomever sat by while it happened. Murder is murder, after all.
What that stupid Neo is doing once again is comparing apples and sardines. And saying that anyone who doesn't like apples must also not like chimneys. What happened to the sardines?
I don't fucking know. Neo is just a dipshit.
No argument there. What the fuck does Tasering Robert Dziekanski have to do with this story? Is he admitting that those cops murdered Dziekanski? Because that's the only link I see.
Apples and sardines... priceless!
Leaving aside crazy women killing their children -- what about all the hate-filled religiosity in Ireland that killed thousands of people for decades by Catholics against Protestants and vice-versa.
For some reason, torture and murder or simply regularly shooting off young men's kneecaps in the name of promoting one's Christian beliefs by people who aren't of some non-white skin pigmentation always seems to slip the minds of people who bray on and on about Islam...
But I would guess more people were strangled, shot, kneecapped and tortured by the IRA than any Muslim group in North America...
Oh I know... "but but but... THAT's DIFFERENT" somehow...
I don't know how or why -- but it always seems to be forgotten about.
I just hope the CBC and the rest of the national news feeds find it mete to headline all murders of children by 'deeply religious' parents from now on.
Although part of me wondered if at least part of the CBC slant was the 'woman killed by patriarchal system' layer.
Taking out the religious slant, the 16 year old woman allegedly was killed (by fit of anger or whatever) as a result of parental rage over her not conforming to 'modest' garb, which alleged event was allegedly obscured by the adult son of the family. Allegedly, she had already run away once over such conflict. This was conflict aimed at a woman for being a woman.
Given the high profile CBC coverage has given the anniversary of the 14 student murders in Quebec and the focus on the 6 women in the gruesome BC murders, it would be nice if CBC has decided to elevate criminal death based on sex of victim to a level of intense scrutiny. More publicity might actually invoke public awareness.
But I'm reaching. I wish I wasn't.
Well, yeah, it is different. Now, I'm no Christian apologist by any stretch, but 'psychopathic mother hearing voices she attributes to God' != 'angry father kills daughter for rebelling against their religion'. It seems to me that the former is legitimate mental illness, and the latter is rage-induced homicide.
Am I wrong?
And with that, shannon, the room gets suddenly quiet.
