"We Need To Talk About Iran"




A month ago I spoke with my friend Deelynn about how we could best support the women of Iran who fight tirelessly for women and children to receive fair and equitable treatment in Iran. The lives of women have been immeasurably burdened by those that wish to impose increasingly crippling Sharia law upon them.

Iranian women are some of the best educated women in the Middle East. Sixty percent of college students in Iran are women. Iranian women are on the "front line" in the ideological war that the Muslim world is engaging in to push women back to the 7th century.

Dee is using her talents to highlight the plight of women in Iran. The writers here will strive to keep up with Dee so we can let you know what is happening in the struggle to simply keep Iran from executing these women or any of the seventy some children that they have on "death row".

We are asking that you visit Save Delara for current news and so you can sign some petitions. Currently Iran has eight women that are on death row awaiting execution. Many of these women were children when they were tried and sentenced. Save Delara also has stories about men that are fighting this fight for women and are at considerable risk as well. Please enjoy this short video.
Thank You.

Thanks for posting.

All who read this please, please, sign those petitions. We sit in the comfort of our work or homes while these women face being killed.
Be sure to visit Dee's youtube as she is doing excellent work exposing the awful abuse women in Iran receive under Sharia law.
