"She's Buried Chest Deep"


-
"Allah... has come up with such a fair rule, even the Devil couldn't be so cruel."
-



-
Iran, the name alone makes me sick. A place where even Satan might not show his head for fear of Islamic retribution. A people taught to fear a religion, a faith, a tormented ideal. A country sealed off from hope.
-
The rulers of this religious theocracy crush the fairer sex while exalting the depravity of the males beastly lust. A glimpse of hair, a centimeter of exposed flesh, a twinkle of the eye and a woman can be literally crushed. And yet the youth of Iran have showed the will to fight back.
-
In the end of President Bush's rule the "green movement" began. Obama has refused to support it. His presidency has watched on as the symbol of this movement died... bleeding out in the street... staring into the camera as if to scream out for help.

-
And yet we could not look away. For the first time the world was damned to watch. Damned to see how these religious zealots treat their women. To see how Neda died simply for being born the wrong sex... for stepping out of the role Islam has cast for its women.
-
If you have seen her eyes you know her pain. If you have watched as life left her there, dieing before your eyes, than you must bear witness. Turning away is kin to being the bastard that fired the shot. Remaining silent is kin to being the monster that stole from her the life you live... free.
-
Every year the Iran government issues the command to kill an unknown number of women. Many die without the world knowing their names. Many simply slip away into the darkness of Iran's Islamic law. Their faces are stolen from them with the pounding of stone. Their blood spilt by the fascist bullet. Their lives extinguished so that those remaining might never have to face the gallows.
-
The goal of Iran is simple. To keep its women enslaved to the rule of Sharia law. A code Iran gave birth to. A law that was written through the militants' interpretation of radicalized Islam. A law that rapes, maims, and slaughters those who can not submit to it.
-
Scream for these extinguished flames. Scream for Neda. Scream till your throat bleeds and your voice can bear it no more.
