Murderous Fantatics

Female Pakistani Minister Shot Dead for Refusing to Wear Veil

A Pakistani minister and woman’s activist was shot dead Tuesday by an Islamic extremist for refusing to wear the veil.

Zilla Huma Usman, the minister for social welfare in Punjab province and an ally of President Pervez Musharraf, was killed as she was about to deliver a speech to dozens of party activists, by a “fanatic”, who believed that she was dressed inappropriately and that women should not be involved in politics, officials said.

These are the type of people the lefties want to sit down and have a chat?

Usman, 35, was wearing the shalwar kameez worn by many professional women in Pakistan, but did not cover her head.

It’s my understanding that the different types of coverings for Muslim women is by custom, not a dictate of the religion. I may be wrong though.

The gunman, Mohammad Sarwar, was overpowered by the minister’s driver and arrested by police. A stone mason in his mid 40s, he is not thought to belong to any radical group but is known for his fanaticism. He was previously held in 2002 in connection with the killing and mutilation of four prostitutes, but was never convicted due to lack of evidence.

I suppose they consider the “lack of evidence” fewer than 40 MALE witnesses? The animal is obviously fanatical, and a danger to society, so why did they let him roam the streets?

“He is basically a fanatic,” Raja Basharat, the Punjab Law Minister, said. “He is against the involvement of women in politics and government affairs.” A police statement added: “He considers it contrary to the teachings of Allah for a woman to become a minister or a ruler. That’s why he committed this action.”

“He killed her because she was not observing the Islamic code of dress. She was also campaigning for emancipation of women,” said Nazir Ahmad, a local officer.

I don’t know about you, but it sounds to me like the cops are making excuses for this pig’s actions.

Islamists also campaigned against the Women Protection Bill which was recently passed by parliament, which seeks to provide protection to women who have suffered discrimination under Islamic Sharia laws.

Why aren’t the feminists squawking and screaming against this “Religion of Peace”? They are so concerned with being allowed to murder children, the murder of women, who want nothing more than to be treated as human, means nothing.
