Be a good girl now

I'd thought Steyn's article below said enough on Aqsa Parvez' death, until I read this at the Toronto Star:

Reacting to that perception, thoughtful community figures such as Atiya Ahsan of the Canadian Council of Muslim Women have been quick to urge Muslim parents to take an understanding approach to their teenage children, to focus on the core values of their faith and not to obsess over a piece of clothing.

"If you know that your girl is good and she practises her faith ... then for heaven's sakes, you know, let the girl have a chance," she says. That would be good advice for any family.


So, if she ain't so good - or maybe doesn't practice 'her' faith enough, then what exactly is the alternative?
