Why Aren't Liberal Women Outraged By Sharia Law

Where is Michelle Obama's hashtag campaign #BanShariaLaw? I guess she'd rather ban cupcakes from kindergartners.
Yet ISIS, the Taliban and other Muslim extremist groups are committing horrific acts of violence against women and children every day. Under Sharia Law, women have virtually zero rights and are routinely raped, beaten and sold off as sex slaves or child brides. Many are forced to wear a burqa and can't even show their faces in public. Women and girls are abused, tortured, stoned, gang-raped or outright killed if they do anything their male rulers deem wrong.
In August, ISIS kidnapped 3,000 women and girls at Mount Sinjar and are using them right now as "war booty." These women -- and girls as young as 12 -- are being beaten, humiliated and raped daily.
Yet American feminists and liberal women's groups have remained shockingly silent on this barbarism. Instead of focusing on this very real war on women, Democratic women reserve their vicious attacks for Republicans and the Tea Party.
DNC spokeswoman Debra Wasserman Schultz and other liberal congresswomen and senators come out in droves and attack any conservative they find handy, including their most recent target, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker.
And if Sandra Fluke doesn't get free birth control -- watch out! Does anyone else find this absurd?
The reality is that getting free condoms or $15 worth of birth control pills is small ball compared to the torture and abuse countless Muslim women and girls are facing throughout the world. And let's not forget, ISIS is threatening to attack the U.S. and raise its jihadi flag at the White House.
If Democratic women want to protect their own freedoms, they should be paying more attention to ISIS and less to Hobby Lobby -- which, the last time I checked, offered its female employees 16 different types of birth control.
American women of all political stripes and backgrounds should be demanding that our government destroy ISIS before it brings its radical jihad to our backyards.
They should also be pressuring the U.N. and our commander in chief to rescue Muslim women and girls who are still being held hostage by ISIS in Iraq and Boko Haram in Nigeria.
