Islamic “Justice” and Liberal Hypocrisy
At January 3, 2006, Nazanin was sentenced to death for murder by a criminal court. The Court of Appeal will review her sentence, and if upheld there, it must be confirmed by the Supreme Court, before she can be executed.
According to the Iranian daily Etemaad, then 17-year-old Nazanin and her niece had been spending some time in a park west of Tehran with their boyfriends, when three men started harassing them.
The girls` boyfriends fled from the scene, leaving them helpless behind. The men pushed Nazanin and her niece down on the ground and tried to rape them, and to protect herself, she took out a knife from her pocket and stabbed one of the men in the hand.
The girls tried to escape, but the men overtook them, and at this point, Nazanin stabbed one of the other men in the chest, which eventually killed him. According to the newspaper, she broke down in tears when she told the court: “I wanted to defend myself and my niece. I did not want to kill that boy. At the heat of the moment I did not know what to do because no one came to our help.” Nevertheless, the court sentenced her to death by hanging.
When the State of California finally got around to executing Stanley “Tookie” Williams, the founder of the “Crips” street gang, one might have thought that it was Santa Claus or the Toothfairy being put to death. The media overflowed with indignant celebrities and assorted liberals across the country and across the planet who were simply aghast at the idea that Williams should be put to death as ordered by the courts nearly 25 years before…25 years that Albert Owens, the 7-11 clerk shot twice at close range in the back by the racist, black, gang-banger Williams, was not so fortunate to have enjoyed.
Those same preening, self-styled liberal shrews are quick to lionize the Islamist Palestinians who have consciously chosen “jihad” and “intifada” over peace and prosperity. Or the Iraqi “insurgents” whose Islamist bombs kill far more innocent women and children than have US forces, and whose gleeful brutality in beheading their victims is somehow never the subject of selectively polite but shrill leftist tantrums.
Now in another display of Islamist “justice” a 17 year old girl who fought off a would be rapist is to be hanged for defending herself and killing one of her attackers in the process. Of course, had she merely suffered the sexual attack, she would likely have been ordered buried up to her waist naked and then stoned to death. Or perhaps her own father, or brother, or uncle, or cousin would have simply slit her throat in retribution for the “dishonor” her rape had brought to the males of her family.
But my question is this: Where’s the outrage at all this? Where are the so-called feminists? The liberals and their sanctimonious indignation? Where are the liberal glitterati who were so outraged that a murderous racist thug like “Tookie” Williams should be put to death for his crimes? Where are the MSM OpEds, the marching demonstrators, the picketers and protesters, and the oh-so-prayerful leftist clergy types?
Can they not be bothered to offer just a little outrage at the hanging of a girl who merely wanted not to be raped. Or are real Muslim victims, and the victims of Islam, only worth the trouble when it is politically expedient and the TV cameras are rolling?
