“I am happy that I am divorced now. I will be able to go back to school…”
Well, at least Yemen seems to be making tenative baby steps toward a civilized society. A judge there granted a divorce to an 8 year-old girl who was pressed into an arranged marriage with a 28 year-old man by her father. He did this because he was afraid she’d be kidnapped and forced into marriage as her two sisters were. Said the “husband”, “[the]marriage was consummated, but I did not beat her.”
Nice, huh? That, by the way, is Sharia law in perfectly normal everyday operation not just in Yemen, but right here in the United States.
It’s the same Sharia law that being taught to our children in American public schools. It’s the same Islamist law that’s exclusively taught in a Minnesota school paid for with public money. It’s the same law that is likely responsible for 2100 missing children in Great Britain, a problem so widespread that the country has launched an education program to tell children that they don’t actually have to consent to being kidnapped and raped.
Yet somehow we are generally afraid to criticize Sharia for the barbaric and backwards repressive way of life it is. I can not for the life of me imagine why we are so timid. Seriously. I can’t think of a single good reason that we aren’t expelling every last unrepentant practitioner of Sharia from our shores. That noxious code is entirely incompatible with any free society. To be perfectly honest, I’m sick and tired of the deference we’re giving it as if it is in any way morally or intellectually comparable to what we have today. If there is to be any hope for change, any hope that 8 year-old girls won’t have to routinely worry about being the sexual playtoy of a man four times their age, we have got to stop pussyfooting around this.

Another reason to thank God daily that I was born an American.
Have to keep a keen eye on things, even here, Jewells. As a couple of my links show, there are more than a couple people in positions of authority who think it's just fine to indoctrinate our children into the wonderful world of child rape Sharia.
I haven't heard one word anywhere except the blogs about this school in Minnesota. It's been all over the place for about a week, but nary a word on the television.
