Perfidy!

The monstrous Iranian mullahocracy--a fountainhead of barbaric, fundamentalist Islam--has been elected to the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women.

Read the sickening story here.

The United States silently watched Iran's election in line with the Obama administration's appeasement of Islamist Iran and Islamism in general.

Understand, as President Obama likes to say, that his administration is resigned to living with a nuclear-armed or nuclear-capable Iran, and reluctant to meaningfully raise the issue of the oppression of women in Islamonazi Iran out of fear of focusing attention on Saudi Arabia, a country with no human or civil rights, where women must also wear barbaric Muslim garb and are still not even allowed to drive cars. Championing or even properly defending the rights of women in barbaric Muslim lands conflicts with Obama's odious outreach to the so-called Muslim world and attempts to elevate international Islam to the level of a superpower.

Where is the outrage?

Official laws against women in Iran can be found here. A sampling of the barbarism:

Article 102 of Iran’s Constitution indicates: "Women who appear on streets and in public without the prescribed ‘Islamic Hejab’ will be condemned to 74 strokes of the lash.”

Article 1133 of the Civil Code states: A man can divorce his wife whenever he so chooses and does not have to give her advance notice.

Article 102 of the Penal code, states that married offenders (adulterers) are liable to stoning regardless of their gender, but the method laid down for a man stipulates he be buried up to his waist, and a woman up to her neck.

Article 114 of Iran’s Civil codes states: When rajm [stoning] is being administered on a man he must be placed in a pit almost down to his waist, and when administered on a woman she must be placed in a pit almost down to her chest. Such barbaric behavior by the regime includes dictating the style, size and the administration of stoning while differentiating between male vs. female victims. Female victim up to her neck to avoid physical escape, however, even if condemned female victim is able to flee the scene, authorities are obliged to arrest her and execute her by firing squad. As for the male victims, they are buried up to their waist and if able to escape the scene no further punishment awaits them.
