report: iranian militias marry, rape virgin prisoners before executions
Published Jul. 20, 2009Views: 760
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've asked before: Where is the middle ground with evil? How to you negotiate with tyranny? Radical Islam does not need to be reasoned with. It needs to be destroyed.

Your post is nothing more than the same old leftist moral relativism. This article is about state sanctioned rape. Not some freak in Arkansas.
Crawl back in your hole.

You know as well as I that there is no horror beyond their rationalization.

I'd say that it's not beyond the realm of the probable, but I'd need to hear about it from a source without an axe in the fire, so to speak. On face, I wouldn't put it past them at all though, no.
