They let women into medical school in iran??

Woman Arrested For Dress Code Violation In Iran Dies In Prison

Zahra Bani 'Aamari, 27, a medical student at Hamadan University, died in prison less than 48 hours after being arrested on October 12 along with her fiancé for violating the Islamic dress code.

The Hamadan Judicial Ministry investigations director claimed that Bani 'Aamari's death was a suicide, but a knowledgeable ministry source expressed doubts on the matter.

Bani 'Aamari's family noted that she had spoken with them by phone half an hour before being informed of her death, and that the conversation had shown that her mental state was good and that she had no signs of instability.

what choice do they have? none!
off with her head!


she ruthlessly harms others, leaving so many crippled for life. it's senseless torture... it's unconscionable. it only seems reasonable, then, that she be beheaded, right. that's how the all india ibtehad council sees
it. the indian muslim group has offered a bounty for the beheading of bangladeshi author taslima nasreen. author? oh, wait. she's doing all those things with words.

the hideous phantasm of a legend stretched out

i really like camille paglia. i don't always agree with her, but i find her extremely perceptive, very funny, and dead one with much of her social and political commentary. in reading her latest think piece at salon.com, she talks about "the man who wrote frankenstein," john lauritsen's book due out in may which posits that percy, not his teenage wife, mary, penned "frankenstein or the modern prometheus." the popular account of percy, mary and lord byron's ghost-story writing contest at lake geneva in 1816 is a great story, especially when considering that the contest most likely would never have been conceived were it not for the eruption of mount tembora in april of the previous year. i hate to see this fascinating origin of frankenstein debunked... it would strike a deep blow to the long history of female intimacy with the grotesque, from "beauty and the beast" to heidi klum and seal.
