Kashmir: Women told to wear burqas or else...

Or else islamic terrorists will shoot at their legs, throw acid in their face or even kill them. Reuters

SRINAGAR (Reuters) - Muslim militants fighting troops in Kashmir have issued a three-day ultimatum to a college to implement a strict Islamic dress code for girls, or face the consequences.

The principal of a north Kashmir college, Muhammad Ashraf, was waylaid by masked gunmen on Wednesday. The unidentified militants gave him a three-day ultimatum to ensure the girl students in his institution don head-to-toe veils.[...]

In the early 1990s, Islamist militants began imposing their own strict version of Islam, shooting at the legs of women who did not cover themselves in a burqa, and throwing acid on their faces.
