Op-Ed: Why Are America and The West Funding Sharia Law? by Phyllis Chesler Israel National News November 27, 2013 http://www.phyllis-chesler.com/1201/op-ed-why-are-america-and-the-west-funding-sharia Print Send RSS Share: Be the first of your friends to like this. How long is the West going to be bound to doing the impossible? President Hamid Karzai's government is considering bringing back stoning for adultery—and imposing 100 lashes (which is a death sentence) for unmarried people who have had sexual relations. Thus, Afghan men can marry female children, keep male children as sex-toys, maintain four wives, and visit prostitutes from dawn to dawn. But it is a capital crime if an Afghan man dishonors another Afghan man by having relations with his female "property;" and, if he has raped the poor wife, she is also to be stoned. Worse yet, if two young Afghans meet and fall in love on their own and have sexual relations, but do not marry—they, too, will be committing a capital crime. Just imagine what it is like to live in a world where marriages are arranged, often to first or second cousins; where a woman cannot divorce a man, no matter how violent or cruel he and his family may be. http://www.phyllis-chesler.com/1201/op-ed-why-are-america-and-the-west-funding-sharia
