A serving member of the Iranian vigilante Basiji militia reportedly has told Sabina Amidi, a freelance reporter for the Jerusalem Post, about his enforced participation in the rape of young Iranian girls prior to their execution. The Basiji enforcer disclosed that the practice was justified by his superiors under the dubious proposition that, under sharia law, &#8220;it is illegal to execute a young woman, regardless of her crime, if she is a virgin.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Let me introduce to you, for instance, Soraya Abolfathi, who was only 20-years old when she was picked up by Iranian Revolutionary Guards for participating in a demonstration against Ayatollah Khomeni on August 19, 1981. She was taken to Tabriz prison where, during her 34-day detention, she was tortured repeatedly to pressure her to give up her friends. She refused. On Sept. 28, 1981, she was executed by a firing squad. However, it is believed the night before her death, she was forcibly wed to a mullah in a &#8220;pleasure marriage,&#8221; the ensuing act of rape serving to ensure she did not die a virgin.<\/p>\n<p>Virgins, the mullahs believe, are guaranteed a place in paradise, and raping young girls ensures they go to hell.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is difficult to imagine a more disgustingly horrifying practice than the systematic raping of virgins in the name of a religion \u2013 Islam \u2013 supposedly in order to prevent them going to heaven.
