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.

A truly evil man would wire airfare and a picture of a certain fat-ankled gal to Punjab if they promised to send an extremist in return.

Just joshin'. But listen. That sound you hear is our women's activists whistling past the graveyard with blindfolds on.

When asked for a comment, famous outdoor writer and gun enthusiast Jim Zumbo said that "If there's anything worse than an assault rifle in the hands of a hunter, it's that same assault rifle being used to shoot a Pakastani Minister..."
