On October 31, I told you about Zhila Izadyar, a 13-year-old Iranian girl who has been convicted of incest, and has a child with her brother. For this she faces death by stoning, and has already been lashed 55 times. Her brother, meanwhile, is looking at 150 lashes and prison.
Now there is a petition (thanks to RD Sieben for the link) that you can sign to call upon the Iranian mullahs to stop this barbarity and release this girl. International publicity and pressure has worked before. Please sign.
Killing a 13 year old girl by stoning? And what was her crime? I suspect she has suffered enough. Now this is just sick. What a bunch of barbaric thugs.
Bloody disgusting!
Will al-jazeera broadcast this crap, since it so seems to enjoy scenes bound, blindfolded hostages being beheaded to the gentle music of allahuakbar? And whats more, such things also seem to get plenty of play amongst arab audiences.
Obscenely atrocious!
Although this does not surprise me it does sicken me so. I am glad to sign this petition and pass it on to my small list of confidents in hopes of reaching the masses. At this time I will say a very special Prayer for this young girl and her child.
YKWH AKBAR
I signed but I have to wonder how many times this happens without anyone outside Iran knowing, also I wonder why and how the mad mullahs let this kind of info escape....bunch of bearded freaks in robes sitting around feeling pretty macho for ordering the death of a little girl who was raped by her brother all patting themselves on the back for a job well don, feeling pretty good that they saved their society from a 13 year old girl, killing her in one of the most horrific and painful ways possible, smiling and satisfied they will be when her blood is running on the sand...sick sick people....sick sick religion.
Here is a review of one of the first articles pertaining to this 13 year old girl:

Iran to Stone 13 Year Old Incest Victim
Update: Via Oliver Willis.
***********
This is so outrageous, I'm reprinting it in full. I haven't been able to find a working link to an online action site, but I'm sure one will appear soon. A news article confirming the details below is here.
>>>The fundamentalism regime of Iran is planning to stone a 13-year-old girl, Jila [also spelled Zhila], in the city of Marivan in coming days. Jila was raped and impregnated by her brother and Iran’s clerical judge has sentenced her to death by stoning. According to the Iranian regime's penal code, stoning is the punishment for those who commit adultery. Jila did not commit adultery; rather she is a victim of rape.
Stoning in Iran is carried out as "the condemned are wrapped head to foot in white shrouds and buried up to their waists. “ The misogynous regime of Tehran even details the difference between the stoning of men vs. women. “The female condemned are buried up to their neck to prevent their escape.” Furthermore, "the stones are specifically chosen so they are large enough to cause pain, but not so large as to kill the condemned immediately. They are guaranteed a slow, torturous death. Sometimes their children are forced to watch.” No other government in the world practices stoning as the Iranian regime.
Women’s Forum Against Fundamentalism in Iran (WFAFI) calls upon the international community and human rights organization to fight for Jila’s life and stop Tehran’s regime from stoning her. Iran’s constitution does not offer women and young girls any protection or due process in the court. There are no legal avenues open to Jila to appeal the judge’s decision. For this reason, WFAFI urgently calls upon Mrs. Shirin Ebadi, the 2003 Nobel Peace Prize winner, to intervene on Jila’s behalf and save her.
WFAFI also calls upon UNICEF to dispatch a fact-finding mission on this case and save Jila. Gender violence in Iran is sharply rising and increasingly claiming younger lives
These people are so judgemental about other people being "infidels", but then they rape their own sisters and then stone them. Is that supposed to be moral? They should be stoning the brother if they are going to stone anyone! My prayers are with this poor child.

If Islam did not focus on sexual repression when it comes to normal male/female relationships, and didn't convey an obscene fixation on sexual protocol (except where the lecher Muhammad was concerned), these tragedies wouldn't occur. When people are contrained by archaic, farcial rules concerning sexual behavior, which forbid men and women from even looking at each other, sexual perversities are inevitable.
Islam, with its bizarre sexual fiats, demonizes women and breeds cruel, violent,insecure, misogynsts who blame their own flaws, problems, and frustrations on women and the United States. Before they knew that the U.S. existed, women bore the brunt of their machismo. Islamic neanderthals truly feel entitled to punish defenseless females for everything that goes wrong in their anachronistic, patriarchal, retrograde societies, despite the fact that females are powerless. Their fates are dictated entirely by males from birth until death.
The ignorance and depravity of this putrid culture never ceases to amaze me.
If these people didn't have so many sexual hang-ups, they wouldn't commonly engage in incest and bestiality. But incest is rampant in Islamic societies and it is not unheard of for brothers to marry sisters. I wonder what will become of the child that resulted from this incestuous liaison? If it is defective in any way, God help the poor creature because muslims have no compassion for people with mental or physical handicaps, any more than they consider rape a crime of violence against women. The vitims are always the criminals in the eyes of these demented morons. How anyone could call Islam "beautiful" is utterly beyond my comprehension.
It is terrifying to realize that people who practice this vile and evil religion could someday live next door.
I know this will sound bad and i know some oy you will disagree,but in this situation i have to say,let them do it!
As long as they limit themselves of doing these kind of atrocities in their own countries,let them.
The more publicity this situation receives,the better for our cause,of exposing islam for what it is.
I feel sorry for the girl,but i won`tj lose any sleep over it...
We also feel sorry for the poor muslim women who are forced to ware the burqa,and next thing you see on CNN,are the very same muslim women we feel sorry for,demonstrating against the ban on the muslim veil,burqa,orwhatever they call it.
We feel sorry for the women who lose their children to jihad,and next thing we see on CNN are the very same women we feel sorry for,glorifying "martyrdom" and wishing more mothers would lose their sons to jihad....
As long as they keep it home,let them do it!
Incest and the sexual exploitation of the young are not only a problem in Muslim countries or amongst Muslims. There are all sorts of European and North American pedophiles who go on sex holidays in third world countries and sexual preditors of all sorts in the west, period. We have no right to look down on our noses at Muslims on that point. We do have the right, however, to condemn the persecution of the victim.
To dismiss such an incredible miscarriage of justice against a mere child as not being our problem so long as it is confined to Muslim children in Muslim countries is about as sick as it is to condemn this victim of abuse to death by any means.
Most sadly, if the mullahs are somehow moved to rescind the execution decree, I dispair over the life Zhila has to look forward to. I cannot begin to imagine the emotional scars she will have suffered.
But if the mad mullahs go through with it, I challenge the so-called feminist movement around the world to rise to the occasion. If they sit on the sidelines they should be dismissed forever as any kind of political force worth a damn.
Sherrin Abadi: where are you in all of this?
I cannot help but think of the story of Jesus and the woman caught in adultery (John 8), in which He said, "Let he among you who is without sin cast the first stone." (and they all went away, beginning with the eldest).
