Before we homeschooled, my daughter had a 13 year old classmate whose mother died. Before too long, her dad sent her to visit her grandparents… in Gaza. She managed to get out a text message to a friend saying she wouldn’t be back – she’d been married to a cousin. When someone tells me that Islam respects women, I have to fight the urge to do violence to that jackass. Because that sort of willful blindness is BEYOND STUPID. Because 77% of Gaza women face violence… and when I think of an American-born girl who was raised in freedom forced into a child marriage in such an oppressive society I feel sick. It’s heartbreaking.
Heartbreaking

That is so horribly sad and totally breaks my heart.
