Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you very much this morning for this testimony that's very hard to take and understand.
I've asked on some occasions before: the actions that are going on in Syria, are they religious? It's my understanding, and maybe I don't understand it right, but if a Christian were raped, she would not necessarily be thrown off the first floor balcony by her father. She's likely to be coddled and looked at that way. Probably the same thing is true with a Jewish person. Is this stigma not a Muslim one? Is that not where the rape comes to be so tragic because, once you are raped, you aren't allowed back into your family, or you're chastised by everyone who knows about it? Am I correct on that?
