Fast Times in Old Kashmir

I'm not even going to comment on this one. Just read it for yourself.

Eight veiled women gather outside a shop selling alcohol on the ground floor of a hotel in Srinagar, in Indian-administered Kashmir and start ransacking it.

They chant Islamic slogans.

One of them lights a match to set the shop on fire but is stopped by others for fear that the fire might engulf the entire complex.

The women comprise the Maryam Squad of the Dukhtaran-e-Milat (Daughters of the Nation).

The squad is named after the Virgin Mary.

The chief of Dukhtaran-e-Milat, Asiya Andrabi, herself leads the squad.

Ms Andrabi is a well-known separatist leader who spent a year in jail with her then breastfeeding child.

"According to the Koran, liquor is the mother of all vices. We have been requested by the local residents to destroy this liquor shop here," she says.

Thoughts?
