Ayman Udas was an award-winning signer and song writer in Pakistan, who was looking forward to a soaring career. Those hopes ended when she was allegedly shot to death by her brothers, who were outraged by her appearance on television a week earlier in the religiously conservative city of Peshawar.
Both brothers reportedly remain at large. Her last song was entitled “I died but still live among the living, because I live on in the dreams of my lover.”
Her husband is quoted as blaming her conservative family which viewed her as violating their religious and cultural values by being seen on television.
This video shows one of her performances and her incredibly beautiful voice.

Well my sister is a trained Opera singer. When she bellows I think she ought to be shot as well. Does anyone have these brothers phone number I just may have an offer of employment.
I am only kidding. But I still do not like that Opera fecal matter. I put it in the same class as Rap.
Souter is right up there with the worst Supreme Court Judge the United States has ever had.
He lied to President George H. Bush about his political beliefs and that any he had would not impact his decisions.
He also has the knowledge that he could have stopped the murder of 25,000,000 infants to abortion and did nothing.
I really hope he sits in his little cabin and contemplates the damage he has done in his miserable life.
Former Dem,
Do you not understand how cowardly and disrespectful you appear when you post the same inane post under numerous topic threads, including the topic regarding the Prof’s well-deserved respite from the likes of you and his exceptionally full schedule?
You are welcome to dislike Justice Souter; however, there is a thread devoted to him so please post your hatred of him therein. Please reconsider you actions.

Agree -
Also, technically abortion does not in any way harm ‘infants’ …
Former Fed,
You are correct that the trolls love to post the same crap on every thread. I hope they are paid well for their work to try to screw with the progressive sites.
Mojo & Rafflaw,
What I cannot understand is why Former Dem and others will post such dishonorable articles within topics involving death, as in this thread and the one honoring Mr. Moffitt.
It may have something to do with their total disregard for anything and and anyone other than themselves and their twisted ideology. What I can’t understand, with regard to rafflaw’s take on this, is who would waste money paying somebody to do this sort of thing. Frankly I would be amazed if these people were actually paid for psycho-babble that’s supposed to represent the views of the right. If anything it only serves to make the right look even more screwy.
And there are plenty of people who already get paid to do this on a national level. Limbaugh/Malkin/Coulter come to mind …
Hey! Many liberals on this sight do the same thing about torture! I’m just saying, stop hating on the conservatives!
lots of questions…did the husband ok this? how close is he to these brothers who shot her? where was the husband when she was shot? WHAT IS THE LEGAL SYSTEM GOING TO DO? ESCPECIALLY THAT SUPREME COURT JUDGE WHO JUST HAD TO BE REINSTATED.
just somme thoughts

You must be an oracle because I don’t understand a damn thing you say.

Well, you’ve certainly come to the right place if you want to see people ‘stop hating on the conservatives’. Trying to discern your brief and unintelligible argument IS a form of torture and you are in violation of the laws of coherence …
Former Fed, I suspect “FORMER DEM” doesn’t actually read the articles before posting his comments.
Former Fed,
I truly believe that the trolls are paid for their nonsense. I just can’t imagine that their total disregard for facts would make no sense, except if they were doing for money. The conservatives will do anything for money.
MrPlow & Rafflaw,
You both must be correct because nothing else makes any sense. Too bad multiple across-topic thread posts can’t be auto-deleted by a repetitive algorithm.
Anon,
I like your sister better than you. I had gone to school in San Francisco in the 70s, attracted by the music scene there like so many others. I once thought I hated opera, too, then a friend dragged me to hear Beverly Sills in Golden Gate Park. Once I heard her trills, I was hooked. Grace Slick was my favorite singer at that time, but she didn’t do trills. I ended up going north to Granola State U and studying opera.
So now I’m wondering if you’re my brother and there’s a contract on my head. Nah, my brother has a much better sense of humor.
Lindy Lou,
Pop, Pop. Or is that Iggy Pop?
Ok, All things must coexist in this world in order to establish world harmony. That Lindy Lou, is why I think we are here on the earth plane. To love, be loved and to show love.
I do love my sister though. She is the best sister although she can’t sing songs I like, nor does she have a clue of really good music. I accept her and her and her faults as she accepts mine.
Off topic but I just got this:
http://crooksandliars.com/john-amato/chris-matthews-wonders-what-jonathan-tu
first…this thread should be about the subject
second…i watched the video…and it seems that this woman may have not expected this man to come onto the stage and she made eye contact with him…of course, she needed to see what the hell he was doing…
and in the audience there was a woman in the first row with a tan scarf on her head and she didn’t smile or do anything but frown…then, the pic of a young girl with a red scarf who was not smiling either…some woman were uncovered and enjoying the show…
there was one man who was frowning…
it looks like a set up to me and someone should look into the husband’s role in this too…it is up to the husband to protect his wife
just some thoughts
now…i did watch the link on crooks and liars and everyone should know mr.turley’s intent…matthews is disinformation…he is a f’up and doesn’t care how he spins something
i will at sometime respond to mr. turley…i believe mr. turley you deserve an answer…and torture is torture and the fact that vietnam was never fully aired is how iraq seemed like an easy thing for them to do when it came to torture
in fact, i have alot to say that isn’t said by the talking heads as to the issue of torture…
not sure i want to put it out in the full public but i did post one thing i wrote called “King of Peace Torture” posted on mzravinblack.blogspot.com
for another time…God Bless
Ok, remind to never use my ethnic vernacular on here again. I was not trying to write a dissertation, just saying stop hating on the conservatives (and don’t you dare call me an Uncle Tom). I enjoy Prof. Turley’s site and, as such, I often read the articles and the comments that follow. The point I was making is that liberals often make nonsequitor comments like former dem, but most of their comments are about torture and/or the “evils” of the Bush administration (probably students who have revealed their identities to Turley and now want him to know how much they agree with his brilliant points. Anyway, this is probably my last post because, while I can stomach liberalism (barely), I am not going to be ridiculed by a bunch of self-righteous, easily duped (see the Edwards comments), borderline socialists.
No offense, Prof. Turley– I very much enjoyed your class and will continue to read your articles.
Galt,
It’s called “False Plea for Sympathy”.
If you don’t want the stink of criminals and the ridicule they face upon your precious person, learn to distinguish between “conservative” and “criminal”. Then, pick better people to support. If you actually read the posts here you’d realize most people here do not care about partisanship hackery like yourself. Some are in fact self-identified conservatives (in the classical sense, not the Neocon sense of your lot) and current/former Republicans. We as a group are committed to the Rule of Law and the Constitution. No where in the Constitution does it mention a political party nor are EITHER parties guaranteed continued existence by any document anywhere. If We the People decide we’ve had enough of BOTH parties, you’re gone. Period. End of story. And if Bush/Cheney had been a Democratic administration, we’d still want their heads on a stick. Got that? NOT ABOUT PARTY. ABOUT CRIME. I hate to shout, but the thickness of your skull keeps blocking the message. And guess what? Capitalism isn’t enshrined in the Constitution either. That “socialism” RNC/Fox talking point is 1) crap and 2) getting old. Most of our European allies are parliamentary socialist democracies. So why don’t you go tell England and Sweden how bad they suck and that we’ll be invading there next to “spread democracy”. Or you could learn the distinction between political and economic systems. But that’d require actual thinking on your part.
YOU ARE BACKING AND MAKING EXCUSES FOR CRIMINALS BY BACKHANDED AND WEAK ATTACKS AGAINST THE SPEAKERS. Ad hominem spiced with self-pity. We’ve gone over the topic many times on many threads as to why these men are criminals and their prosecution is required both by law and as a practical foreign relations matter. But you’ve never read those threads . . . or like to ignore any truths that put your boys behind bars. And just like your play shows, when you can’t beat them, you call them names and run away. Running away is the last component of the “False Plea for Sympathy” strategy. Let’s see if your ego let’s you follow though on the tactic.
Easily duped? No, you’ve wandered into the wrong cave here, sport. Come on back and drop the fake civility and “whoa is me” hurt feelings and try to protect your treasonous traitors and torturers in a logical and legal framework. See how well you fare, apologist. You will fail like all the others. But you are welcome to try!
And if you think Former Dem is liberal? That may be misdirection at it’s semi-finest, but if you think that’s a true statement, then you’re just simply not smart enough to play the professional game if you can’t tell he/she/it is a PAID cut and paster troll. Stick to the home version and reading Rand like it is intellectual self-stroking ego porn. Just be sure to keep lots of lotion and tissues on hand. Keep enforcing the idea that you’re an Atlas and so superior to the rest of the riffraff on the planet that are getting in the way of your dystopian ideal where you’re “one of the special ones”. You know, “special” as in “the law doesn’t apply to me or mine” when the reality is that it’s more like “special” as in “needs remedial education about law and civics”. But I really do hope you keep it to yourself (you’re a whiner and nobody like a whiner). It’ll be more satisfying than the drubbing you’ll get trying to defend Bush Co. More satisfying to you anyway. We like destroying the illogical, illegal and specious around these parts.
Since you are disingenuous, deliberately misleading in your characterizations of postings on this site as only an apologist would be and you’ve stated that was your last post (per tactic), I have this response:
Your absence will be greatly appreciated.
So play true to your nature – that bottomless pit of ego. Come on back and act all offended that you’ve once again been “attacked by those nasty lib-ur-alls”. I’ll laugh my ass off. Right before we further expose you for the propagandist you are and take turns dismembering your legal defense of the war criminals.
You do have a defense for them, right? A legal and ethical one that is? You’re not just blowing smoke?
No?
Then it is indeed time for Little Johnny Galt to run along.
