Jail-order brides

In an Iranian prison, marriage is till death do us part:

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.

"It is illegal to execute a young woman ...if she is a virgin": Must be convenient to have a legal code that obliges all your pathologies.

“Must be convenient to have a legal code that obliges all your pathologies.”

It’s called Islam’s Sharia Law.

Obama is leading an evil LIBERAL SOCIALIST administration.

If he were honest, he would provide a certified unforged copy of his actual birth certificate.

If he was not evil, he would not support partial-birth abortion.

You could look at Obama as the blind leading the blind, but there are too many indicators that he is trying to destroy America as we know it. Stimulus, takeover of auto industry, health care, etc., foreign policy, high taxes, lack of turnaround incentives for job losses, etc.

I fear you are correct. I used to subscribe to the belief of the person who applied ahead of me, but I no longer have that comfort. His mouth moves and he says words of allegiance to America, but his every action says the opposite.

Problem is, we are stuck with him now. Were he to be dethroned the riots would start immediately. Were he to be assassinated he would become America's Che.

I am sure of two things. One, he is a Muslim at heart, and two, he is a puppet on a string. He is the front man for a very carefully planned, funded and executed assault on America. Someone is using him, and many many other liberals as useful idiots to pull off an overthrow of the country. I can think of no other explanation that covers everything we're seeing. And saddest of all, people like Mel Martinez and John McCain and Charlie Crist and that pip squeak of a Senator from SC are a large part of the plan.

I dont believe this story it has to be a lie.

If this were happening Amnesty International and the UN would be all over it. They would never allow such things to happen. If this were true just think of the response of America’s feminists. They would be screaming at the top of their lungs.

Certainly no Mullah of the Islamic faith would allow anything like this.The waomna would have to have her Burka removed, they wouldnt allow that.

Another thing is that when a Muslim Martyr dies he get 73 virgins, Muslims would necessarily have to be sending these virgins up to Muzzie heaven, not deflowering them down here.

No , no this story is just made up to make the peaceful family loving Muslims look bad.

Does this need a sacrcasm tag?

He is the front man ...

If he were not the "front man", he wouldn't have been so adamant about refusing to give up the Blackberry.

I would sooner think Islam is simply the Earthly manifestation of Satan himself. There is absolutely nothing, not a single, solitary pillar of that ‘religion’ that doesn't embody the very essence of everything Satan and his minions embrace.
