Land of the free? Law to protect women blocked by Republicans

An Arab-American female laments about the striking down of the The Violence Against Women Act in America; women in Egypt learning to read and Morsi tries to pull the wool over the eyes of the foreign press.

Surely a law protecting women in America would be passed? Think again.

Dear Haddad , who do you think you can fool with that Statement !?

A new statement about freedom of press and opinion in Egypt in a nutshell defends Morsi and his government against the facts we have on the ground i.e. that journalists, reporters and TV hosts are facing hell in the first 6 months of the new elected President’s term.
