GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) - A group of female TV anchors marched through Gaza City on Sunday to protest a fundamentalist group's threat to behead them if they did not don modest Islamic dress.W Zip
«We will cut throats, and from vein to vein, if needed to protect the spirit and morals of this nation,» the shadowy group said in a statement e-mailed to news agencies on Friday. The statement accused the female anchors of being «without any ... shame or morals.»
Most of the 15 female anchors on Palestine TV wear headscarves, in accordance with Islamic tradition. But they also wear makeup and Western clothing, which extremists consider immodest.
«Shame on you,» said Sally Abed, a Palestinian news anchor, addressing the Islamist group. «The people working in this institution are your people _ if it's not your sister, it's your mother.»
