Palestinian women reporters protest Islamist threats

Report this post to the editors

Things are getting worse for Palestinian women; its not just the Israelis they have to worry about. They are constantly under threat from Islamic Fundamentalists who are trying to impose sharia "law".
The complete article is at the url below.

Several dozen Palestinian television journalists protested Sunday in Gaza after a shadowy Islamist group threatened to decapitate female journalists who did not dress according to a strict Islamic dress code.

The protestors assembled in front of the office of President Mahmoud Abbas to demand protection after the threat made by the Swords of Islamic Truth group.

In a statement sent to the media in Gaza Friday, the obscure group said: "we will cut throats, and from vein to vein, if that is what's necessary to protect the morals and ethics of the nation."

The statement accused Palestinian female television journalists of acting "without shame or morals." The extremist group, which recently appeared in the increasingly lawless Gaza, has claimed responsibility for several bombings of Internet cafes.
