'Cruel and Usual' is a wake up call to the Western world. Nonie Darwish presents an insider's look at Sharia and examines how radical Muslim laws are destroying the Western world from within. Living under Sharia law for the first thirty years of her life,a virtual slave to Islamic law, Darwish never questioned or challenged her rights - she didn't dare to even think about the validity of Sharia laws. She didn't try to examine what Sharia was, how it came about or why she followed it. 'This is Allah's law,' she was told, and she knew what awaited those who questioned Allah's law. But she doesn't believe the lies anymore, and now she wants to share her experiences with the Western world. "Cruel and Usual Punishment" is an insider's look at how Muslims sacrifice their basic human rights to obey the archaic and brutal laws handed down to them by their prophet centuries ago and how Sharia Law seeks to destroy democracy by infiltrating Western culture from within.
