    Pakistan bans satire about burqas - CNN.com

    This play actually sounds very interesting. The play's director, Shahid Nadeem, says she's not opposed to the veil - she's opposed to a trend moving towards forcing women to wear the veil. I think that's a very important distinction.

    Quoted: Irate Islamist lawmakers have persuaded the Pakistan government to stop a theatre group staging a satirical play about the burqa, the all-covering head-to-toe garment worn by conservative Muslim women.
