I feel sorry for these girls. In a country like Pakistan, any girl who doesn’t wear a Burqa when told is liable to be raped or killed—or both. And the government won’t even try to protect them.

Benazir Bhutto doesn’t wear a burka....

Many of the female protestors I see in Pakistan pics aren’t wearing burkas either, just the hijab. It’s only in the Taliban-controlled areas where it’s a do-or-die issue.
