Pakistani women condemn U.S.

Nov 18 - Over a thousand women from the Jamaat-e-Islami party march through the streets of Islamabad to condemn American policies in Pakistan.

The women marched silently towards the city centre, holding banners saying "Go, America, go" and "America, the traitor."

Jamaat-i-Islami, the main and best-organised Islamist party in the country, has been very vocal against U.S. policies in Pakistan and Afghanistan.

Pakistani Islamists have repeatedly called upon the government to block vital supply routes for Western forces in Afghanistan in response to U.S. missile strikes on al Qaeda and Taliban targets in Pakistan.
