Iran to Crack Down on Suntanned Women

Ah, yes. The glow of a suntan to add a little color to one's body. It's what many believe can add a healthy appearance to many when done in moderation. But not if you live in Tehran. Iranian women are being warned to stay out of the sun or face jail for violating the islamic dress code.

According to the NY Daily News, Iranian officials are threatening to arrest women (and men) who sport proof of their time in the sun citing that it violates the very dear islamic dress code that those cavemen love so much.

Tehran's police chief, Brig Hossien Sajedinia, made the following statement:

"The public expects us to act firmly and swiftly if we see any social misbehavior by women, and men, who defy our Islamic values," he said, the Telegraph reported. "In some areas of north Tehran we can see many suntanned women and young girls who look like walking mannequins."

"We are not going to tolerate this situation and will first warn those found in this manner and then arrest and imprison them."

Many women in Iran have come to embrace their beauty and become quite the stylistas, choosing freedom over the oppressive rules set forth by those living in caves. Iranian law dictates that women must wear headscarves and burqas to hide their shape, but many women, especially in Tehran, thumb their noses at the law and barely follow it (You go, girls!).

One of Iran's leading clerics, Ayatollah Kazim Sadighi, explained that when women dress inappropriately (define that, please), men become excited, and the result is earthquakes. That right. We now know what caused the devastation in Haiti. It wasn't a shift in tectonic plates, it was all those women partaking of life in the sun.

Other than the obvious oppression of the rights of these women as human beings, where is the end of this slippery slope? Sure, they say that it's only going to be those who sunbathe, but what about women who have to walk miles in the sun to the market? Will they one day be accused of violating the law? Or what of the women who help on the family farms and work in the sun all day? Do they face potential jail time?

The women of the resistance movement in Iran need our continued prayers for strength to fight against their oppressors and for their basic rights as human beings. Their battle against the Cro-Magnon mentality of Iran's leadership is going to be a long one.

I suggest we arm them in their fight by sending crates of Coppertone.

It seems that the tolerant Islamic religion just keeps proving itself for what its true agenda is. This story comes from foxnews.com with a link to the original article at the Jerusalem Post.

Report: Iranian Militias Marry, Rape Virgin Prisoners Before Executions

TEHRAN, Iran — Members of Iran's feared Basij militia forcibly marry female virgin prisoners the night before scheduled executions, raping their new "wives" and making it religiously acceptable to execute them, a self-professed member of the paramilitary group said.

The anonymous militiaman told the Jerusalem Post that at age 18 he was "given the 'honor' to temporarily marry young girls before they were sentenced to death."

In the Islamic Republic of Iran it is illegal to execute a woman if she is a virgin, the former guard told the newspaper. So the government arranges "wedding" ceremonies to be conducted the night before executions, and prisoners are forced to have sexual intercourse with a guard.

Raped by her new "husband," a female prisoner is now fit to be put to death.

"I regret that, even though the marriages were legal," said the militiaman, who told the Jerusalem Post he had just been released from prison himself after freeing two teenagers rounded up during post-election protests.

Some of the prisoners in his care were drugged with sleeping pills to make them docile, as the girls in their custody always fought back, he said, fearing the night of the rape more deeply than their executions the following day.

"I remember hearing them cry and scream after [the rape] was over," he told the paper. "I will never forget how this one girl clawed at her own face and neck with her finger nails afterwards. She had deep scratches all over her."

I post this because of a little comment debate at Libertarian Republican that I seem to have become involved in with someone called "bint". I commented on a post about Michael Savage being taken off the banned list in Britain. During my comment, I mentioned how Islam condones the execution of women who are raped and the beating of wives by their husbands. Well, bint seems to think that Christianity has killed far more people and tolerates child rape and that women who are beaten aren't allowed to divorce. I put my two cents in on those comments. Waiting to see what the reply is (hee hee).

How anyone can defend the twisted view of the world that Islam takes is beyond me. Yes, Christianity has had its dark history. I think we can all agree on that. But has anyone ever heard of a rape victim being stoned to death by priests?

Islam is not a peaceful religion, despite what many say. I remember reading a book written by a princess of the Saudi family (her name and the title escape me) and cringing at the stories she told. Her friend next door had been caught with a boy on the street who was not a relative. Her friend's punishment? Being wrapped in chains and thrown into the swimming pool by her father. Real tolerant, eh?

A message for you radical Islamic nutjobs: Try to make me wear a burqa, MFers!

Sidenote: I haven't forgotten about the earmarks. Just been really busy. BNGF

The Cartoon Says It All

I haven't commented on the Iranian elections because it's been covered so thoroughly and so much better than I could do. Hat tip to all those who have done so.

I found this cartoon that says it all. May God bless and give strength to those who are crying out for freedom.

Iran Election Aftermath Now Lethal

Foxnews.com is reporting that pro-government militia members opened fire on a protest in Tehran's Azadi, or freedom, Square. One person was reportedly killed and several injured.

The crowd — many wearing the trademark green color of Mousavi's campaign — was more than five miles long, and based on previous demonstrations in the square and surrounding streets, its size was estimated to be in the hundreds of thousands.

Some of the results — which awarded a record-breaking 25 million votes and 63 percent of the electorate to Ahmadinejad — were announced before the ballot boxes had even been opened. Gee, I guess voter fraud had crossed the Atlantic.

Also on Monday, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei ordered an investigation into allegations of election fraud, marking a stunning turnaround by the country's most powerful figure and offering hope to opposition forces who have waged street clashes to protest Ahmadinejad's re-election.

We have to give credit to the brave people who have said "No More!". A-jad is a nutcase, and the Iranian people know it. Despite a crackdown on protests following the "election", people have continued to voice their opposition.

Let's pray that we have the same resolve should the time come.
