It's very dangerous in the Middle East right now and if the Islamic Brotherhood is able to gain political power, that would certainly affect America.
Sharia Law is again back in the news for the killing of a 14 year old girl who was raped by a 40 year old cousin.
There is no excuse for this kind of barbaric action. I pray that we keep this kind of problem from coming to America.

A 14-year-old Bangladeshi girl allegedly raped by a much older cousin has died after being publicly flogged for adultery, media reports said.
Hena Begum was sentenced to receive 100 lashes by a village council made up of elders and Muslim clerics in the district of Shariatpur, about 35 miles from the capital, Dhaka, the BBC said today.
She endured about 80 lashes before collapsing Monday, according to The Daily Star, a Bangladeshi newspaper.
Her family took her to a hospital, where she died. "What sort of justice is this? My daughter has been beaten to death in the name of justice. If it had been a proper court then my daughter would not have died,"
Dorbesh Khan, the girl's father, told the BBC. Family members said Hena was raped by a 40-year-old married cousin, The Daily Star said. The man's family beat up the teen, then accused of her adultery, the newspaper said. The very next day, she was sentenced to the flogging in a fatwa, or religious ruling, issued by the village council under Islamic Shariah law, the BBC said.

Bangladesh's high court has ordered district officials in Shariatpur to explain why they did not protect the girl, The Daily Star said.
The court ruled eight months ago that Shariah punishment was illegal. In December, a 40-year-old woman in Rajshahi district died after she was publicly caned for allegedly carrying on an affair with her stepson.
