The stone age scourge

| July 21, 2009

I read this yesterday at Best of the Web and the Jerusalem Post. Now it’s made it’s way to Fox News. I’ll admit that it sounded a bit far-fetched that J-Post can’t find but one witness to this, but it’s becoming news, nonetheless;

He said he had been a highly regarded member of the force, and had so “impressed my superiors” that, at 18, “I was given the ‘honor’ to temporarily marry young girls before they were sentenced to death.”

In the Islamic Republic it is illegal to execute a young woman, regardless of her crime, if she is a virgin, he explained. Therefore a “wedding” ceremony is conducted the night before the execution: The young girl is forced to have sexual intercourse with a prison guard – essentially raped by her “husband.”

“I regret that, even though the marriages were legal,” he said.

Why the regret, if the marriages were “legal?”

“Because,” he went on, “I could tell that the girls were more afraid of their ‘wedding’ night than of the execution that awaited them in the morning. And they would always fight back, so we would have to put sleeping pills in their food. By morning the girls would have an empty expression; it seemed like they were ready or wanted to die.

You probably ought to read the rest of the report, if you think you can stomach it. Both Best of the Web and Fox News link to J-Post.

I really don’t know what I can add to the story except that I shudder at the thought that these folks could have nuclear weapons within the next few months.

Frankly Opinionated

Islam, the Religion of Peace????????? Already entrenched in Dearbornistan, already entrenched statewide in al-Minnesota, and coming to a place near you. America, it is time to pull your damned heads out of the sand, (or other sun deprived cavity), and take note. This is not a middle east thing, it is not limited to Germany, France and England. It is here,now, and coming closer. Only this weekend, in Chicago, “they” preached that it will be Islamic law over the Constitution. And with the pathetic American Voter, I fully believe it possible. America WTFU!

Kumbaya. My Lord, kumbaya.

Sit around a campfire, wish good thoughts, smile a lot.

Those bad boys will acknowledge your intentions.

I’ll admit a certain ironic pleasure here.

…yet liberals will tell you that their “culture” is just as worthy as ours.

I am not quite sure to make of this story, but given the human rights record of Iran, I would not be the least bit surprised were it true. Granted I have heard such stories out of Saudi Arabia which I am completely convinced are true. After all, Saudi Arabia’s human rights record makes the mullahs’ HR record look almost holy, a feat which I thought was damn near impossible(Well not really. Some of the other Arab police states might be worse than Iran too.)

But clearly I think we are focusing on the wrong country here in regards to Iran. Khameini and Co. are tyrannical goons who sponsor terrorism and behave like utter assholes. But on the other hand, the Saudis sponsor a hell of a lot more terrorism and are the ones behind Islamification efforts in the West. The Saudi Islamists also happen to be a lot worse than those funded by Iran. No one in their right mind would argue against the fact that Hezbollah is a terrorist organization responsible for the deaths of Americans. But at the same end, I think most everyone can agree that the Taliban/AQ/AQI are WORSE than Hezbollah. And as far as the nukes go, the mullahs in Iran are almost certainly pursuing them but who’s to say that the Saudis don’t already have them. Personally I find the idea of the Saudis having nukes much more deserving of concern than Iranian nukes(Not that Iranian nukes shoulnd’t be of some concern.)
