A Voice in the Wilderness In Defense of "Mere Conservatism"

Sad Beyond Words

I don't really know what to even say about this story from the Jerusalem Post entitled "I Wed Iranian Girls Before Their Execution". Mark Steyn had his brief reaction to it here, but the terror that many women face every day of their lives in Sharia-ruled nations is a chilling reality.

An excerpt from the JP story:

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."
