		<description>&lt;i&gt;So how many death threats from right wing islamists will she receive a year?&lt;/i&gt;

Heh, I think you may be exaggerating slightly TCH. Sayeeda Warsi hasn&#039;t received any and neither has Rushnara Ali, although both have had people &quot;suggesting&quot; that a visible Muslim woman should wear one. But they didn&#039;t get where they have by listening to so-called community leaders.</description>

		<description>Good for her! Great news for Labour! 

So how many death threats from right wing islamists will she receive a year?

And if she chooses to wear a headscarfe will the right wing tabloids declare open season on her?

I suspect the answers - many (and thats many too many)
and a big yes - tossers the lot of them.

		<description>Sunny,

The site you refer to says â€œIf elected she will become Britainâ€™s first female, Pakistani MP.â€
Question, Do we have any prospective UKMPâ€™s in Pakistan of either sex.

Will she represent Pakistani interests or will she represent the interests of her UK constituents.

Joking aside. From what I have read about her she would if elected be a first rate MP irrespective of her gender, religion or ethnic origins. She is of course British and proud to be.</description>
