Girl murdered over hijab?

A 16-year-old Canadian was reportedly killed by her Muslim father. Some hint it's because she wouldn't cover up.

    One idea

    would be to wait for the investigation to be completed, then argue about the actual reasons this child was killed. We are to go on hints? WTF! Also, why would someone question whether a strict Muslim father would kill his daughter over refusing to wear a hijab? It is widely reported, there is video on the web, and family members have openly admitted to killing their daughters to retain the family's honor in certain Muslim-dominated areas. Get your head out of the ground.
