| Female Pakistani Singer Killed by Her Brothers |
| 2009-05-01 |
| PESHAWAR, Pakistan -- Ayman Udas, a rising female vocalist in Peshawar, the capital of Pakistan's Northwest Frontier Province, was shot at her home, allegedly by her own brothers. Her death has rattled the city's jittery artistic community, as local musicians and dancers in Peshawar -- a city renowned for its vibrant artistic life -- face increasing pressure as the region falls under greater Taliban influence. Some attributed Udas's death to the Islamist militants, but her husband told reporters that his wife was killed because she broke family tradition. these two statements are not contradictory |

| #4 #3 in the US-WEST, all things equal the greatest opponent of Liberal feminism is NOT MEN, GOVT-PUBLIC POLICY, or CONSERVATISM, ETC. BUT OTHER WOMEN. |

| #3 Similar topic: I am in Philadelphia for a meeting and am downtown city center. I cannot believe the number of women here in full abaya and hijab and mask. This was pretty common when living in London but here in Philly? I guess being in Florida on the First Coast sort of closets me from what is happening in big urban areas. Creepy if you ask me. |

| #1 It's got to be tough being a woman in a muslim culture. Talk about human rights violations. Where are all those noisy "do-gooders" who come out of the woodwork when they want to criticize the USA about something. |
