Watch: Top Palestinian official on TV claims Sharia law is supreme and there is no need to protect "Western" women's rights or fight against FGM, honor killings, domestic violence, child marriage, etc.
As you can see in the video below he says the Palestinian Constitution is Islam and women's rights are upheld only by the moral standards of Islam.
This Palestinian leader gives a glimpse into the lives of women all over the Arab-Muslim world where Sharia is practiced.
Women are considered Second-class citizens in Saudi Arabia, Iran, Pakistan etc.
In most Islamic countries there are no laws protecting women's rights, or prohibiting child marriage.
