Let's write to Congress (www.congress.org):
Dear Representative:
Domestic violence victims are typically conditioned to accept the blame for their own abuse. Abusers typically gradually isolate their victims, making them totally dependent upon the abuser. The abuser attempts to put himself in the place of God, controlling and dominating every aspect of the victim's life, dictating actions and thoughts, demanding the victim only be an extension of the abuser, meting out punishments (emotional and physical) for disobedience. The victim is picked on until the victim breaks and gets hysterical or lashes out and then the reaction to the abuse is "exposed" as the reason for the abuse. Society also blames the victim for "allowing" the abuse, which only serves to isolate the victim further and reinforces the abuser's constant barrage of blame upon the victim. So, the victim is conditioned to protect the abuser because the victim is punished for the violent actions of the abuser. It takes an average of seven tries before a victim is free of the abuser, who fights to retain or regain control, and it is usually when the victim is trying to get away from the abuser that the victim is killed. It is basically the same conditioning that is used to control POW's in war. Sharia law codifies ("legalizes") such abuse of women and non-Muslims and declares such evil to be good and needs to be outlawed in the U.S.
