Billboards with women smeared in Multan
2003-06-07
MULTAN: Islamic yokels activists vandalised billboards featuring women in Multan on Friday, in the latest assertion by hardline Islamic groups. About 200 members of Shabab-e-Milli, the youth faction of the right-wing Jamaat-e-Islami party, smeared billboards featuring women with black paint, as police watched without interfering in Multan.
"Interfere? We can't interfere. They got turbans."
Jamaat-e-Islami Secretary General Azhar Hussain Iqbal said the smearing of billboards was part of the weekly campaign started in Punjab against vulgarity and obscenity. Witnesses in Multan said Shabab-e-Milli youth used tall ladders to reach the billboards advertising consumer products and smear the women featured on them with black paint. “These multinational companies want to promote obscenity, lewdness and vulgarity by showing women in different poses,” Shahzada Babur, chief of Shabab-e-Milli, told Reuters by telephone from Multan. “We would not let them do so.”
"In fact, we ain't lettin' anybody do anything we don't approve of. And we don't approve of nothin'."
Babur denied they were vandalizing private property. “It is they who are acting contrary to Islamic law by promoting vulgarity,” he said. The latest action follows similar acts against posters and signboards in Lahore and Peshawar.

#1  Just keep telling us how hijab and burqua PROTECT women, not imprison them.
Keep telling us how "Islam" is the most progressive religion toward women.
However, I'm sure there are some 13-18 year-old women in Australia, Denmark, and France who were gang raped by roving bands of Muslim youths who would disagree...
“It is they who are acting contrary to Islamic law by promoting vulgarity,”

Your "Islamic" law is an abomination to all freedom loving people.
Especially women.
