re: "Houston Muslim Girl Being Forced to Return to Mali for Forced Marriage and Clitorectomy"

Pamela at Atlas Shrugs ("the news you will not hear from the mainstream media, providing original reportage, covering little-reported events of great import, and giving an unblinkingly honest examination of global affairs") relates coverage of an asylum case.

Quote(s):

"The ABC affiliate in Houston aired this story last night, about a woman from Mali being pressured by her family to return home for an arranged marriage and clitorectomy. She may have to return home eventually when her student visa expires. Fortunately, she does have lawyers working pro bono to help her attain asylum, but it's clearly not a sure thing."

"She needs apostate asylum. If the US sends her home, she's as good as dead."
