It is still a paradox as to what many religious leaders of the Islamic community preaches and practices. Some says that it is the duty of the Muslim women to draw the veil whether they are amidst the public forum or at home, but the unfortunate killing of an innocent 16-year-old Canadian Muslim girl has nothing to do with Islam, this is what the Islamic community has to say to the world. As word goes around and the entire nation is mourning her death, the leaders are refusing any connection of their faith to the victim�s death.
Since time immemorial, every Muslim woman around the globe is following the practice of wearing hijab very religiously. However, this duty is being vehemently criticized by many organizations and high profile figures. Yet, even today, since it is a cultural phenomenon, no one dares to defy the practice. Yet, the refusal of Aqsa Parvez, the victim, to wear the hijab snatched the girl�s life. The girl was caught up in a never-ending battle with her family because of her reluctance to wear the Islamic veil, said one her school friends. Ultimately, her denial took the family by storm and this resulted in her brutal murder by her father.
This gruesome case has kicked off serious debates in the public, in regards to the rights of a woman in Canada�s Islamic society. While many say that, it is indeed an act of savagery; whereas, Islamic leaders say that Aqsa�s death has nothing to do with their faith.
This riddle is open for discussion and is still present in the society and no one knows whether anyone can solve this issue ever.
Ultimately, it is upon the global society how they deal with such unfortunate incidents and what laws will be constituted and implemented to tackle such grave matters.
