Fox runs story designed to increase hate & fear of Muslims

The story is about how a woman must restore her hymen surgically. You see, she could be murdered, if her new husband's family (devout Muslims) finds out that she wasn't a virgin. Yes, she is so scared of the ostracization & possible violence, she will undergo the surgery...while MAKING HER NAME GLOBALLY PUBLIC?????

I was scanning all the cable news channel sites to see if there was any coverage of the FISA hearings (there wasn't), & when I clicked on Fox, I found this story. This reeks to high heaven as a complete fake. If this were true, idenity would have to be kept secret for the sources protection. It is a loathesome piece of propaganda to villify Muslims.

1. there would be christians that would do the same thing

4. And there is a Bible verse that orders death to women
who aren't virgins on their wedding night, though that's not adhered to any more (except perhaps by some literally insane individuals).

2. Interesting
Funny how Faux Snooze sensationalizes the way Islamic women will have a hymenoplasty to "regain" their virginity for religious reasons. But they say nothing about the way so may American women have vaginoplasty (an equally "barbaric" practice) to tighten up their vagina to make it better for their men or to make their labia "prettier". As usual, Faux is unfair and unbalanced.

3. You Won't See Snake-Handlers On Fox
Well, you might see snake-handlers on Fox, but they won't be identified as snake-handlers.

Fox thinks Muslims are fair game for their hatred.

I hate Fox.
