War On Women

Liberals, progressives and left leaning democrats seek to define republicans by proclaiming that republicans are waging a war on women. They state that because of their two issues: abortion and women's health. For abortion, they are quick to bring up the images of bathtubs and coat hangers. For women's health, any cut in social services is perceived as done to affect women personally. Of course, they do this to maintain the vast benefits that have accrued to their social causes. They have fought hard to obtain those benefits and do not want to lose them. In concentrating on what the republicans might do they ignore what is actually happening in our Muslim female population and to Muslim women worldwide.

The real war on women is codified in Sharia Law. Even in this Country, where there are large communities of Muslims, there is a push for Sharia Law. The honor killing of a daughter is not unknown in this Country. It is possible to find an Islamic doctor to perform a clitorectomy. Female beatings, when the family male member desires, is condoned by Sharia. Now this is a real war on women. How can we ignore this?
