BARBARIC BUT NOT UN-ISLAMIC As with all religions, there are many different variations of Islam, all claiming to be interpretations of the Quran. The two main sects are undoubtedly Shi’ite and Sunni. The Shia believe that the Qur’an is ‘with God’ and that the version available today has been so distorted that it is completely different from the original. The Sunni don’t agree.

Both of these sects do however agree that, according to the Qur’an, virgins go directly to heaven, and that the Qur’an forbids the execution of a female virgin, irrespective of her crime.

Rather than simply rewrite the religious rules to suit their needs, like everyone else does, the ruling Shia in Iran have found a way around this when it comes to executing female protesters who are virgins.

 

On the night before their execution, these girls are forced to marry prison guards, or privileged members of Iran’s paramilitary Basiji.
Then, to consummate the marriage, the husbands rape their new wives, and the following morning the girls are executed.

In this way, two birds are killed with one stone.

The Shi’ite rulers have not transgressed the laws of Shariah, and the protesting enemy won’t automatically go to heaven, because they are no longer virgins.

A serving member of the Basiji militia, who brags about being so highly respected in the militia that he has been enjoying this privilege since he was eighteen, had this to say.

‘I could tell that the girls were more afraid of their 'wedding' night than of the execution that awaited them in the morning. By morning the girls would have an empty expression; it seemed like they were ready or wanted to die.’

I think it was Hermann Hesse who said ‘If there was a creator, his next act would have been to disappear.’?

Not Hermann?

Well somebody said it.
