Afghan pop singer dies in Canada Parsa's 10 albums were a hit with young Afghans Afghan pop singer Nusrat Parsa has died after being attacked following a concert in Canada, police say. Parsa was approached by fans outside his hotel after the performance at Vancouver's Queen Elizabeth Theatre and scuffles broke out, police said. The singer is reported to have fallen downstairs after being punched. He sustained head injuries and died in hospital a few hours later. A man has been arrested in connection with the attack late on Sunday. Police say Parsa, who was 35, was confronted by three men. "They knew who he was, that he was a singer, but I don't know if there is any relationship between them at this time," a spokesman told the AFP news agency. Mr Parsa's brother, Najib, told the BBC the attack followed trouble at the concert, when some in the audience called for faster, livelier songs. Parsa started singing as a child and studied with musicians in India. He recorded 10 albums and was popular among young Afghans.

I knew it wasn't your writing. It is reasoned, non-insulting and well thought out. The question is what are you scared of? Very little. Yes, life on this planet is a lucky accident, probably similar to countless other emergences of life on other planets. ::a giant handclap occurs, life spontaneously forms!:: you need a stronger faith than I to believe that crap. Figured you would not have nothing to say about the piece Why should I? It is nothing you wrote, it is something you agree with and it is largely rhetorical. It is written in such a manner that the writer is defending an argument he laid forth in the piece. I am not one to interrupt his internal argument.
