Will the West Please Stop Siding with Criminals?

[] [Will the West Please Stop Siding with Criminals?]( by Khadija Khan • March 24, 2017 at 5:00 am - What is agonizing is that people either enjoyed or criticized the joyful act of a teenager, but no one seems to be noticing that this public trial and her forced apologies only mean further isolation for the young Muslim women. - Most horrifying is that it seems that even the West has started to buy into the version of "modesty" that these extremists in the Middle East have been forcing on women. - Why has no one -- especially politicized, self-absorbed women's groups -- come to help?
