BARUCH HASHEM! AQSA MEMORIAL GOES FORWARD

Aqsa parvez

Hallelujah! Deepest thanks and gratitude to Atlas reader and Fire Chief, Town of Pelham, Scott McLeod,  a wonderful man who contacted one of his Municipal Councilors regarding an Aqsa memorial. Councilor Sharon Cook presented a motion to offer an area in the Pelham Peace Park for a suitable Memorial. Sharon Cook, you are a righteous woman!

Yesterday Scott wrote,

".....on Monday, this week the council of the Town of Pelham passed a resolution to install a memorial to Aqsa Parvez in Peace Park in Fonthill (Smaller community within the Town) We expect to be ready some time later in the year and it likely will be placed in one of the areas where people rest during the day. As indicated before, I will send photo's of the general area where we propose to locate the memorial. I have requested the Clerk of the Town create a copy of the resolution and approval in PDF, which I will then forward to you."

Scott has been working on this for months. There are indeed wonderful souls in this bizarre world we are living in. None of this would be possible without the Atlas readers who contributed and others who worked on scouting locations, Gerry Vincent, Norman Traversy, and, of course, Robert Spencer who joined me in this effort to honor this lovely, young honor killing victim.

March 4, 2009 07:19 AM - A memorial is being erected in a Niagara area park to honour the life of Aqsa Parvez, an Applewood Heights Secondary School student who was strangled to death inside her family's Mississauga home.

The Town of Pelham will install a bench and plant a tree at Peace Park to honour immigrants who are caught between cultures "and are challenged to conform to both." Pelham councillor Sharon Cook said the bench and tree will honour Parvez.

On Dec. 10, 2007, Parvez, 16, was rushed from her family's Longhorn Trail home to the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto. She died later that night. An autopsy revealed she was strangled to death, police said.

The high-profile case garnered international attention. Friends of the slain teen said she feared for her life and had been threatened by family members in the weeks prior to her death, over a religious dispute.

Parvez's father, Muhammad Parvez, 57, and her brother, Waqas Parvez, 27, are each charged with first-degree murder in her death.

The case remains before the courts. The preliminary hearing for the accused resumed this week.

Scott will be sending us photos and I promise to keep you apprised ever step of the way.

    "Geller and Spencer are probably the most important propagandizing Islamophobes in the world, these people's voices speak very loudly — not just here in the United States but overseas." Heidi Beirich, director of the Southern Poverty Law Center's Intelligence Project

About

Because


  • "I would give the greatest sunset in the world for one sight of New York's skyline. Particularly when one can't see the details. Just the shapes. The shapes and the thought that made them. The sky over New York and the will of man made visible. What other religion do we need? And then people tell me about pilgrimages to some dank pesthole in a jungle where they go to do homage to a crumbling temple, to a leering stone monster with a pot belly, created by some leprous savage. Is it beauty and genius they want to see? Do they seek a sense of the sublime? Let them come to New York, stand on the shore of the Hudson, look and kneel. When I see the city from my window - no, I don't feel how small I am - but I feel that if a war came to threaten this, I would throw myself into space, over the city, and protect these buildings with my body."
    Ayn Rand
