Islam in Iran: Muslim husband smiles with his child bride’s severed head in public.
Mona Heidari was sold by her Muslim father at age 12 into a forced marriage with a monster. Her Muslim husband beat her if she failed to satisfy him sexually, feed him, or remain silent.
He subjected her to inhumane abuse and torture, enabled by Islamic authority. He tortured, raped, and inflicted sadistic violence on her, calling it marriage. She fell into depression shortly after the arranged marriage. At age 17, severely depressed and broken, unable to please him, she sought divorce and escape from Iran. He called his Muslim brother to punish her for disobedience.
They tied her hands and feet and tortured her to inflict maximum pain, ignoring her cries for mercy. No one called the police. In Iran under Islamic law, husbands are required to beat wives for discipline.
During the prolonged torment, the brothers mutilated her living body. Once she was too weak to resist, the enraged husband beheaded her. He then paraded her severed head through Ahvaz streets to restore family honor, showing pride.
Like many child brides in Iran and the Muslim world, Mona endured inhumane treatment from her husband and family, who knew of her suffering but blamed her for failing to obey.
Thousands of women in the Middle East and Asia are murdered yearly in “honor” killings—executions for dishonoring families or challenging male dominance.
Muslims may view these Islamic practices as justice fitting the will of Allah. In the civilized world, they are crimes against humanity, women, and human dignity.
Western leaders must not sacrifice women’s rights for political survival. Migrants seeking Western settlement must reject Islam’s Sharia laws or face asylum rejection.
This is not a “cultural difference.” This is barbarism enabled by Islamic doctrine. The West has no obligation to import or tolerate systems that treat women and girls as property to be bought, raped, tortured, and murdered.
