Islamists Skirting Religious Law While Pretending to Champion It

-By Warner Todd Huston

Ah, those ingenious Islamists. Ya gotta give em’ points for inventiveness.

Imagine yourself as a dutiful Iranian thug theocrat that has to get rid of a few teenaged girls that just won’t toe the Islamist line. Is your religion of peace a tad too peaceful to help you in that noble, government duty? Is it telling you that you aren’t allowed to execute virgin girls for “crimes” against the state? What are ya gonna do, Bunkie?

Then, after a carefully considered few seconds, it hits you. Marry ‘em off before you slaughter them! See, after the “husband” and “wife” have had that first conjugal visit, why voila! No more virgin! Then the door is open to the government abattoir for a jolly good time to be had by all.

But how to achieve this marryin’ project? Another few seconds of deep religious and philosophical rumination and you get another one of those flashes of brilliance that can only be considered divine. The solution is so easy, you realize. So, mindful of your religion of peace and all, you order your prison guards to “marry” every little girl that you need to murder… er, I mean chastise… tell them to rape… er, I mean “make love”… to their new “wives,” and then you can start choppin’ heads with the blessing of “god.”

BRILLIANT! Problem solved, those pesky little girls are properly punished, and even the prison guards get a little sumpthin outta the deal.

I just loves me that religion of peace. It’s so modern and innovative.
