Egypt's adopting Sharia Law means more female circumcision

Editor,

"Egypt declares Sharia Law," may soon be on the front cover of the newspaper and it seems nobody cares. Why does the media broadcast any little thing they can about polygamy in Utah but not one word about Osama bin Laden’s wives? Maybe the American people just don’t know about the abuse the women receive under Sharia Law, the Taliban’s way.

When girls reach age 12 to 14 they are held down, naked, by usually their mothers or as many men that it takes to hold them down, as they cut their clitoris off. They say this helps to control them. Then the girl’s legs are wrapped together for 40 days so the wound can heal.

They tell the little girls that this will make it more pleasurable for their husband when they get married while being denied any sexual pleasure themselves. This mutilation of the genitals makes it painful to have sex and extremely painful to bare children. Everyone knows that they have to be covered up head to toe and escorted by a male wherever they go, but I wonder if the American people know that it is OK to beat their wives by hand or by stick as needed. Or that they are forced to perform oral sex with their husbands, who have not been circumcised so the penis stinks due to the buildup of urine. If the woman complains the husband cuts off her nose.

The young women are given to other men by their fathers some men as old as 60 may be given a 13-year-old as a wife. They are denied love or pleasure. They can’t vote, be educated at all other than by their husbands. They can’t drive or own property and if their husbands think they is unfaithful, they will be hanged and left for the other women to see. Pain, suffering, misery for women and increased pleasure and total control for the man. This is Sharia Law. Shame on us if we allow the Muslim Brotherhood to make this an enforceable government law in Egypt. The world needs some good old fashioned American leadership and that is why I’m voting Republican.
