INJUSTICE: Somali Woman Killed for Refusing to Wear Veil

Muhammad's wife Aisha once said: "I have not seen any woman suffering as much as the believing women" (Sahih al-Bukhari 5825).

According to Aisha, Muslim women are treated worse than Jewish women, Christian women, or pagan women. It's odd, then, that so many
Muslims in the West claim that Islam liberates women.

Militant Islamists in Somalia have
shot dead a Muslim woman for refusing to wear a veil, her relatives say.

Ruqiya Farah Yarow was killed outside her hut near the southern Somali town of Hosingow by gunmen belonging to the al- Shabab group, they say.

The militants had ordered her to put on a veil, and then killed her after returning and finding she was still not wearing one, the relatives said.

An al-Shabab spokesman denied the group had killed the woman.
Al-Shabab does not fully control the area where she was living, he added.

Relatives, who asked not to be identified for fear of reprisals, told the News Agencies that Mrs Yarow was killed at about 07:30 (04:30
GMT). She was shot twice and died instantly, they added.

She is survived by her husband and
children, the relatives said.
