Clerics want no women aid workers in quake areas
2006-07-26
Clerics in the NWFP want authorities to expel all women working for international relief agencies in earthquake-affected areas by the end of this month. The clerics accuse the women, including Pakistanis employed by foreign non-government organisations (NGOs), of dressing improperly, mixing with men and drinking alcohol. "We are not against the NGOs, but we are against them spreading obscenity in society and trying to weaken our faith by corrupting our women," Moazzam Ali Shah, head of Tehreek-e-Islaha Muashra, or Movement to Cleanse Society, said.

#5  If the presence of women, who are just trying to help, can "weaken" your "faith", then your faith must be somewhat less than deep and abiding to begin with.

#4  Amen to DarthVader.....if they don't want women to help in the aid process; pull ALL our aid and let them do it on their own.
