I think even pierced ears are not kosher, even for women.

These people are nuts. Frankly I don't care if a bunch of loony men whip themselves with knives and slash their heads open... but seeing the two pictures of the little children being cut open, that is child abuse!

The Left in America went bonkers when the Taliban blew up those ancient Hindu statues and over the repression of women, I wonder whether there will be any outcry over mutilating little children.

I just hope FoxNews shows these pictures, perhaps things like this will reach some of the left`s sucker mom enablers, "This is what your party defends when it says Cultural Diversity, how do you feel about that?".
