		<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 “If elected she will become Britain’s first female, Pakistani MP.”
Question, Do we have any prospective UKMP’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>
