Nice people these Islamists...

If you have a problem with the way that someone behaves, you kill them. Right? From the Times of India:
'I killed her because she was un-Islamic'
Muhammad Sarwar, the killer of Pakistani Punjab's woman minister Zil-e-Huma, believes that women cannot rule over men.

�I have no regrets. I killed her out of the conviction that she was leading an un-Islamic life and spreading an evil influence on other women,� Sarwar told interrogators in custody, according to a police source.

Sarwar belongs to Ahle Hadith, a local religious vigilante group, and had allegedly killed four prostitutes in 2002, but was acquitted for want of evidence.

He shot the young woman minister at her meet-the-public function, posing as a visitor last Monday. Sarwar was irked by her increasing popularity, sources in the Punjab Police told Daily Times Thursday.

Police said that Sarwar has "his own interpretation of Islam". Sarwar told interrogators that he was fired by a passion to purge society of women who defy Islamic customs.

Sarwar owns a hardware shop in Gujranwala and has nine children - four sons and five daughters. He had ordered his wife and daughters to stay at home and veil their faces.

Slain minister Zil-e-Huma belonged to the ruling Pakistan Muslim League (Qaid), was related to Punjab Chief Minister Pervaiz Elahi and was a vocal supporter of President Pervez Musharraf's liberalization drive.

Opposition to women seeking political office has been a recurring theme in Pakistan society. Sections of Islamic clergy had issued edicts against Benazir Bhutto when she became country's prime minister in 1988.
If this is what an Islamist does when they are 'irked', I would hate to see one of them pissed off... As for the murders of the four prostitutes, your own society degrades women to the point where that is, sometimes, the only way they can earn money for food. You see a problem but are blind to the cause. Besides, it's not like this was the only woman in politics. From Reuters:
Muslim "fanatic" kills Pakistani woman minister
A suspected Islamist zealot shot dead a Pakistani woman provincial government minister on Tuesday because he believed women should not be in politics, officials said.

Zil-e-Huma, social welfare minister of the Punjab government, a women's activist and supporter of President Pervez Musharraf, was about to give a speech to dozens of people when the lone attacker shot her in the head. She died later in hospital.

The gunman, identified as Mohammad Sarwar, was immediately arrested.

Punjab Law Minister Raja Basharat told Reuters the gunman had been implicated in six previous murder cases but had never been convicted because of a lack of evidence.
And women in politics:
Women make up just over 20 percent of the lower house of parliament, according to the country's main human rights group, and there are three women ministers in the cabinet of the federal government.
That whole "lack of evidence" pigshit really stinks... Good riddance to at least one of the followers of the false prophet and minion of Satan. And I am not talking about the poor Mrs. Zil-e-Huma God rest her soul.
