As A Woman Leader, I Thought I

A People Inspired By Democracy, Human Rights And Economic Opportunity Will Turn Their Back Decisively Against Extremism.

Our People Are Dying, Poverty And Unemployment Are On The Rise, But The Rest Of The World Says That Musharraf Is Needed Because [only] He Can Stop Nuclear Proliferation, [only] He [can Launch] An Operation In The Tribal Areas. So He Manipulates And Dangles Some Kind Of Carrot In Front Of The World All The Time. This Is Not Good For The People [of Pakistan], And I Think The World Has Got It All Wrong.

I Found That A Whole Series Of People Opposed Me Simply On The Grounds That I Was A Woman. The Clerics Took To The Mosque Saying That Pakistan Had Thrown Itself Outside The Muslim World And The Muslim Umar By Voting For A Woman, That A Woman Had Usurped A Man's Place In The Islamic Society.

The Best Hijab Is In The Eyes Of The Beholder.

Given The Right To A Free Ballot, The People Would Support My Return.
