Lynn what control does the US have over Islam law in their own country. A good deal of the women except this because that is suppose to be part of their culture. Putting on a cape and flying around the world to dictate to other countries how they should behave or treat their people is insane. People like Saddam was killing his people left and right yet we never lifted a finger to help, instead we used him to help with our interests at hand. If women in the middle east don't want to except Islam and Sharis law, then leave. Come to America or whatever country they choose to go to. Like Rebecca stated there isn't enough bullets, and many of us are sick and tired of losing our men in women in wars we should not be in, period!

Lynn-there has been plenty of "feminist outrage" over how sharia law treat women. Do you not remember Hilary Clinton and Benazhair Bhutto in the 90's? Of course, since it's not OUR country, we can't do a whole lot about it except through diplomatic channels. Nobody is going to go to war over how one country treats it's own people. Good grief-there wouldn't be enough bullets. Every country in the world has a problem with someone else over things like that. There would be NO peace anywhere. You just need to work to get others to "see the light". Of course, since nobody can agree on what "the light" is in the first place, it gets just a bit frustrating.
