Police arrest father after daughter critically hurt

A 16-year-old woman was clinging to life in hospital last night after police in Mississauga received a call from a man claiming he had killed his daughter.

Peel Regional Police said a 57-year-old man at the home was arrested and will appear in court today, but declined to reveal the name of the teenager or the man arrested, and offered few details about what might have happened.

Students at nearby Applewood Heights Secondary School in Mississauga identified the teen as Aqsa or Axa Parvez. Some claimed she had clashed with her family after ceasing to wear a hijab and adopting a more Western style of dress.

According to police, the chain of events began yesterday morning with a phone call from a home near Hurontario Street and Eglinton Avenue.

Here's the thing about this: some people in America believe that Bush and the neocons are protecting us from this by playing empire in Mesopotamia. The fact is, they're not. Events like this are a function of the migration of cultures. We can't fight and die in the desert, yet allow open borders if Sharia is what we want to prevent.

Most of us know now that Bush's little escapade in the Middle East had nothing to do with our security. However, too many of us still fail to comprehend that the Bush Administration's stance on immigration has everything to do with our security. And lest you Democrats smirk too quickly, Hillary's position on the border is identical to Bush's. For that matter, the positions held by Obama and Edwards are worse.
