16 Year old Murdered in "Honour Killing"

Aqsa Parvez, 16, was allegedly murdered by her father in an "honour killing". I am deeply saddened that Aqsa was not given a say in her religion and way of life, which is a constitutional right in Canada. It is such a senseless tragedy.

Distilled to its essence, what it seems to come down to is do you believe in universal human rights, or do you believe in some kind of two-tier system? I happen to believe in the former. To me, it's a no brainer.
