An 18 year old girl has been sentenced in Iran to be hanged to death. Her crime? Killing someone who tried to rape her. Check out the article here.
Her name is Nazanin and she is 18. Three men threw stones at her and her boyfriend. The boyfriend who seems to have no stones of his own turned tail and ran away. She stabbed one of the men in the hand and tried to run. They accosted her and her 16 year old niece at which time she bravely thrust the knife into his chest killing the pig.
In any civilized country someone would give this woman an award but we must never forget that this is an Islamic nation. Not only that but an important nation from which much of todays Islamic revolution emanates and draws from.
What if she had not run and she had been raped? Well illicit sex or zina is punishable under Islamic law by stoning. In a sense she had a choice between being hanged as a murderer or stoned as an adulterer the moment the events transpired.
Muslims like to tell us that everything happens as a result of inshallah or the will of god. What kind of god would create a human only to have her choose hanging or stoning as her means of death? Not any god I can think of. Please join me in snorting loudly the next time a Muslim refers to his god as the most compassionate and most just.
