Paki Jihadis Threaten To Blow Up Young Girls If They Refuse Burka
Little girls in the militancy-hit Swat Valley in northwestern Pakistan hate a diktat issued by pro-Taliban rebels to attend school in burqas.
Burqas are the only option some girls’ schools in northwestern Pakistan have against being shut down or worse, being bombed.
“I want to study, but not in a burqa,” said Shah Rukh, a 12-year-old girl enrolled at a primary school at Saidu Sharif in Swat.
Shah Rukh is just one of many girls who have learnt to speak out against the burqa diktat in the picturesque Valley.
“My 11-year-old daughter cries every morning when she has to wear the burqa,” Mohammad Roshan, who teaches history at Jahanzeb College in Saidu Sharif, one of the main towns of Swat, told Newsline magazine.
In a private school in Mingora, the headquarters of Swat district, students were enraged when their principal received a letter from militants saying they would shut down the school.
“It is our right to get education,” one of the girls in the school said.
A parent said his daughter “is constantly told by her teachers to attend school in a head-to-toe veil ever since the principal of the school received a letter of threat”.
Several girls’ schools in Swat have received letters with warnings that they will be blown up if the students do not attend classes in burqas.

Right on girls! Keep standing up to these neanderthals and pull yourself up from the 5th century the Taliban want to keep you in.
This is where the feminists here in the west should be standing up and cheering these girls on. 
December 19th, 2007 at 1:26 pmThis is just the tip of the iceburg in the Islamo-nazi schema. Divide and conquer. Break Pakistan up into warring factions, sieze power and take Pakistan’s nukes. This is waht AQ and the Taliban are really up to. Part of that divide and conquer strategy is instilling fear and trepidation into every Paki…starting with the most vulnerable in that society. Here we have a perfect example.
Tribal mentality? Do these girls sound tribal to you? Not lately. It’s that Islamo-facist mindset that is at work once again destroying freedom, choice, and the liberty of everyone and everything its slimey hands touch.
December 19th, 2007 at 4:03 pmYou know what? I have no sympathy whatsoever! You all chose islam, if you didnt you should invest in an ak 47 and frag their taliban asses. freedom isnt free, and you neednt wait for america to come an solve your problems, since we end up getting blamed by people like you when things go wrong. Where the burka and like it, or risk your own lives to reject it.
