Clash between traditional values, modern culture may be behind teen's death

A slain Muslim teen whose father has been charged with second-degree murder apparently chafed at the prospect of wearing traditional religious garb, but members of the Islamic community warn against anyone using the tragedy to vilify the head scarf known as the hijab.

This is extremely frightening to me. It is especially frightening because there is nothing that can be done. The only thing I can say is clearly if they moved to a western culture, they liked western values more. The parents should be willing to accept that and if they want a more muslim culture, they should move to a country where women must wear a hijab is the law.
