'June 1, 2007: Islamic militants in Gaza have threatened to kill women who read the news on television, unless these women wear "Islamic dress." This apparently means hiding their faces, as many of the women news readers already wear a headscarf. These same militants have been threatening stores that sell videos or what they consider "un-Islamic material." Some of these stores have been attacked and destroyed. '

A little while back, I mocked (http://westhuhal.blogspot.com/2007/04/pioneers-of-7th-century-dress.html) a BBC propagandist for touting Egyptian women who want to wear burquas on telly as gutsy civil-liberty campaigners. And now the Islamic militants in Gaza are getting behind their noble cause and putting some real 'lead' into it. Good for them!
