Fatwah Can't Silence 'Warrior Woman' Poet (More Insanity from the so-called ROP) McCall.com ^ \| May 23, 2007 \| DONNA BAVER ROVITO mcall.com ''She writes that Muslim women should burn their burqas, that women should be treated as equals, and that religion should have no place in law or government...'' What can you buy for $11,319 these days? You can rent the 14-bedroom Christian Dior Chateau on the French Riviera for a week in December.

Separated from her body, of course. The president of northern India's All India Ibtehad Council recently announced a 500,000 rupee (U.S. $11,319) bounty on Nasreen's head. ''She should be killed and beheaded and anyone who does this will get a reward from the council,'' declared cleric Tauqeer Raza Khan, because Nasreen made ''derogatory references against Prophet Mohammed in her writings.''

She writes that Muslim women should burn their burqas, that women should be treated as equals, and that religion should have no place in law or government … heretical stuff to Islamic fundamentalists. Nasreen fled Bangladesh in 1994 due to widespread violence about her writing and spent many years in exile in Europe. She recently sought permanent residency in an area of India that is culturally similar to her native country. (Excerpt) Read more at mcall.com ....
