| Abuse of U.S. Muslim Women Is Greater Than Reported |

| Many Muslim immigrant women do not even know that they are victims of a crime. That's because in their home country it may be legal or acceptable for men to physically punish or even kill their wives and daughters for dishonoring the family. |

| #2 It is your tradition to burn alive women on the pyres of their husbands. It is our tradition to hang those who murder women. You may build your pyres and follow your traditions. We will build our gibbets next to them and follow ours. British General something or other in India. |

| #1 Abusive Muslims living here need to be fully prosecuted and it made very clear it is NOT acceptable in a nation founded on equality and justice for all. We may not be able to do anything in their respective sovereign countries about abuse but we damn sure do not have to accept this in the name of cultural intolerance. Reaching Islamic women here may be the key to transforming the Middle East...hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. |
