You seem to be a fine example of why women shouldn't vote! You live in a dream. Muslims in the Caucasus are getting shot with paintball guns by Muslim police for not wearing Muslim clothing.
Caucasus: Police shoot paintballs at unveiled women, dowries tripled as Sharia becomes ever more entrenched - Jihad Watch


At least a dozen places selling alcohol in the North Caucasus were attacked with grenades, bombs and gunfire over the last year as armed Islamists bent on installing sharia law have stepped up their battle against those who fancy a tipple.

Last week saw the latest fatal attack in the town of Khasavyurt in Dagestan, near the border with Chechnya, where a bomb ripped through an alcohol-serving cafe, killing four.
slamist rebels later said in a statement that "the owners were repeatedly warned but they were arrogant."

"It is only a matter of time before places involved in the filth of alcohol... will meet their destruction," they said on the insurgency-affiliated website jamaatshariat.com .

Attacks last year were almost double of those in 2009, officials say.
