Zhila Izadyar is 13. She has been convicted of incest, and has a child with her brother. For this she faces death by stoning, and has already been lashed, as you can see. Her brother, meanwhile, is looking at 150 lashes and prison.
There have been an unusually high volume of attacks on me and Jihad Watch lately — nothing unusual except in their virulence and brazen misrepresentations. But to those who might seriously think that this effort is born of bigotry should look carefully at the photo above. Then tell me that a human rights effort to defend human beings from jihad and Sharia is "bigoted." From Iran-Focus News, with thanks to Susan:
Azad Zamani of the Society for the Protection of Children’s Rights has said that Zhila’s health has been rapidly deteriorating.Zamani has managed to visit Zhila although under close supervision of the Iranian regime’s agents. Zamani stated that Zhila said, “I am scared; I want to go home; I want to be able to go back to school like other kids”.
Zhila was convicted of having an incestuous relationship with her 15-year-old brother and giving birth to an illegitimate child.
Zhila is reported to have been in a very bad state while she has had to spend time in solitary confinement under close guard. Zamani had reported that Zhila now has a very bad eating pattern and she constantly vomits.
Another source, who wished not to be named, said that Zhila has been beaten by guards while she in jail and has not been allowed to see her newborn child.
Reports have also come out that Zhila’s brother Bakhtiar has also been flogged in prison. Zhila faces death by stoning while Bakhtiar faces 150 lashes as well as prison time, according to the clerical judge who issued their verdict.
This is truly evil. In a western society, her brother would be arrested and sent to jail. But Islam blames the victim. This is why Islam MUST be banned. Islam dehumanises people and stops them from feeling compassion and empathy with victims of crime.

CAIR Canada posts a bulletin with their arguement for demanding Sharia-Law for Muslims
in Canada,they claim it's a religious freedom protected by the Charter of Rights.
Too bad CAIR doesn't respect the Rights of the ones that will be punished according to Sharia-Law. So far all the proponents I've seen on TV have been Muslim Males,maybe is Sharia-Law included removing Testicles as punishment these
misogenistic worshippers of a pedophile would change their outlook on this religious freedom
that's to bring so much justice and equality from the Quran.
NO ISLAM - KNOW PEACE
It is really sad that these children have to go thru such punishment. They are just children for crying out loud. Counseling is more like it.
I am well and truly repulsed.
Mr. Spencer,
Pls understand that the work you are doing with this site goes far beyond the mere presenting of facts which maybe inconvenient to some.
Pls know that while there are many rabid allegations and bigoted crap flung your way due to the work you are doing, there are many, many more like me who fully support and appreciate your efforts.
Backing down in the face of such opposition is exactly what these rascals aim for. They should never win. Even an indifferent God couldn't grant victory to evil. The good side will prevail and we will all have played a part.
She's thirteen. Raped by her family. Tortured and sentenced to death by the court. Solitary confinement. Beaten by guards. An all encompassing horror of a life.
Can anyone say this is not evil?
It tears my soul.
Words are inadequate to describe this. 'Evil' it certainly is, but even that word doesn't fully do this justice. Poor, poor little girl! Thirteen is still so young, so naive, so innocent. Islam hates and destroys all that.
This is sick, evil torture. It's horrible enough that they plan to murder her, but to inflict such torture on her first shows how vile and barbaric those people calling themselves clerics and spiritual leaders are. You can't be sane and encourage this. You can't have a soul, ethics, a conscience.
Ah, but according to some, just pointing out these horrific events and expressing our disgust at them is "bigoted". "Racist" even. No, we're not supposed to mention these events. We're supposed to hide them, ignore them, instead portraying Islam as oh so wonderful, and tolerant. Otherwise, we're "Islamophobes". Keep it up, Mr. Spencer. More people need to know the reality, need to have the PeeCee Fog cleared from their brains.
I don't know how any rational, free-thinking person could accuse you of bigotry. You have created a masterpiece that projects unbiased, truthful information about Islam, jihad and Shariah. You share your vast knowledge about these subjects in a simple, straight-forward manner that cannot be misconstrued or misunderstood. You are guilty of nothing but presenting the raw, uncensored, unedited facts about Islam, quite often with verbatim quotes from Islamic holy scriptures.
Until the day an official doctrine of Politically Correct Speech and Behavior is enacted into law, somebody must expose the truth about Islam. As I was searching the archives for some of the recent articles about Tariq Ramadan, it dawned on me what a treasure trove of material is stored here. In just one year, there is probably enough damning evidence against Islam to raise some serious questions about its legality.
I know that Muslims will stop at nothing to prevent the truth about Islam from being exposed. I wouldn't blame you if you changed your identity and entered the witness protection program, or changed your name and appearance and fled the country. I think they are getting worried, really concerned. The incessant terrorist activity, beheadings, and arrests of prominent Muslims in America are not generating the positive image of Islam they would like to see. That's a good thing. They will continue to try to silence people like you, and there aren't many of your stature, impeccable reputation, and credibility. I'm sure you are despised in Islamic circles, but you probably know that better than anyone.
All you have to do is keep telling the truth about Islam. I refer everyone I know to this site and I share what I learn here with others. I'm sure everyone else does the same. We appreciate you and depend on the information you provide in JihadWatch.
The world must be apprised of the heinous barbarity of Shariah, exemplified in the photo of the poor little Iranian girl. These crimes against children and women must be stopped. The evil creatures responsible for such inhuman cruelty should be locked away forever. The archaic travesty of Shariah has no place in the 21st century, and yet demands for it seem to be on the rise. We cannot allow this abomination to become established in America.

Instead of being despised, I would think that you are feared, Mr. Spencer. Why? Because we are not (yet--and if we pull together will never be) living in an Islamic state under sharia.
We are living in a powerful country where a minority is slowly (ever so slowly, much too slowly) beginning to realize what fate awaits us were we to allow Islamic rule and sharia here, in the United States.
What those of the Islamic community in this country and abroad must fear is to be found out. That the old saw about "the religion of peace and compassion," and the other dissimulations of the ideology as "one of the three great Abrahamic religions," and "a religion as any other," will no longer be believed. In fact that they will be scoffed at, and told to peddle their papers elsewhere.
Unfortunately, at the highest level of our government (nor amongst contenders for this position) , there is no one with gumption to come out and tell the American people (sans Moslems) that Islam means to make the United States into an Islamic State. That this process is being carried out from inside as well as from the jihadists that openly have declared war.
Nevertheless, if the proponents of Islam did not fear you, Mr. Spencer, if they only despised you, they would not bother to attack you.
To turn this around, we could ask whether we fear Islam and that is why we are attacking it. That question is invalid. You, Mr. Spencer are not attacking Islam. You are exposing Islam and its jihad for what they are.
You, Mr. Spencer, and many of the commentators here, are cutting through the pure white raiment, blanched skin, and green muscle of Islam, dissecting the innards and laying them out for all to see. You are showing the world what makes the ideology posing as a religion throb.
When exposed to view, disgust not fear is aroused.
The monster, when showing a pious ever-so-sweet face or making a hideous grimace of hate, may either put us off guard or frighten us. When laid out in pieces on the dissecting table, however, it only makes us curl up our lips in disgust.
Ala-Sux:
I understand that there has been some contraversy stirred up in Kemptville, Ont. (near Ottawa, CAnada) by parents concerned over a school's "education" program vis the human rights of children.
The loons in charge of the program selected Omar Khadr, the teenage jihadist held at Guantanamo for killing some US soldiers, as an example and are having some grade five students write letters on his behalf. (Ironically, I'd have to say that Omar has been abused alright -- by his parents who raised him and his brothers be jihadists.)
Instead of being despised, I would think that you are feared, Mr. Spencer. Why? Because we are not (yet--and if we pull together will never be) living in an Islamic state under sharia.

Muslims HATE. Their hatred is exposed by fear, the hatred that they carefully guard behind walls of deceit and lies. When Muslim obscurants perceive an attack against Islam or an attempt to reform it, they respond with the visceral choler that is normally repressed, but always there.
The whole thing boils down to their morbid fear of exposure. They have traditionally silenced Islam's critics by eliminating them. That might not work in America so yes, they are terrified! The more terrified they get, the more dangerous they become. Before it's over, their unmitigated antipathy for non-Muslims will be exposed along with the rest of Islam's best kept secrets.
I would be lying if I said I did not fear Islam. I do not fear it because I don't understand it; I fear it because I do. Widespread ignorance of Islam is its greatest ally, and that is why Mr. Spencer and others like him are so important.
Islam is utterly repugnant to me and I felt that way long before I discovered JihadWatch. The material in JihadWatch only confirms what I already knew.
Too many people remain misinformed or ignorant about Islam. They must be reached.
Robert:
I know this happens everyday in Muslim countries, from honor killings of girls to the use of children as suicide bombers and all in the name of allah. This like the rest of us sickens me to know end, when I especially hear the words of a "PEACEFUL RELIGION" .
I sure would like to this story on at least FRONT PAGE MAGAZINE and hopefully along with follow-up.
This story should be sent to every news outlet in both the United States and to the idiot left-wing Government in Canada.
The case of Zhila (Gila) Izadi was, rarely enough, reported in Swedish papers already a couple of weeks ago (16.10 - probably because Shirini Ebadi was visiting Sweden that day).
It was said that as a response to human rights activists' appeals, they are discussing to alleviate the sentence to hanging instead.
Can there be anything more cynical and barbaric than discussing whether a 13 year old child should be stoned or hanged?
There are still loads of Western "feminists" who think the disagreements between "Western" and "Islamic" views on gender equality and human rights are just matters of cultural difference.
Robert:
Why do people attack you instead of speaking out against such terrible atrocities?
Talk about not having any sense of justice!
We are at a loss as to how to understand that such contemptable sub-human scum are members of the human race. We will continue to try to influence our friends, family and associates to try to be aware of this evil. We will can also continue to serve in other ways to the best of our abilities.
I also intend to purchase your book today Mr. Spencer, so that I can in some small way support your great efforts.
Thank you and G_d bless you in your work and life.
P.S. This should be posted on all blogs, right or left, with any concern for humanity.
Scandie:
These so-called feminists think the women of Afghanistan (and everywhere except perhaps, Muslim/Arab women in Israel/the "occupied territories") should be capable of liberating themselves.
Should the worst happen, and Kerry the Traitor win this election, it is still possible that some good would come of it.
We--the West--will see so many samples of Leftist and Islamic irrationalism that Robert's books may become best sellers, and our determination to have a leader who fully understands the problem we face may be energized as never before.
Well, folks, it is upon us; all of you who understand the problem but who cannot vote because you are not U.S. citizens (or fraudulantly registered), keep your fingers crossed for all of us.
My guess is that it will be very close, and no matter who wins, we will have such a legal fiasco that we will realize that the current system is broken and must be fixed.
Myself, I favor retinal scans.
This story is so disgusting. This poor little girl. She has committed no crime. God himself is crying tears for her. We cannot let this "religion" to gain a foothold. How much abuse can we put up with. Stand tall, America, fight for those who cannot fight for themselves. Spread the word.
Thank you Robert, for all you do.
