In case you were wondering…

… why conservative Islamic governments like the one in Iran (and the one developing in Iraq) are so bad, consider the case of Nazanin, an 18-year-old Iranian girl who is facing the death sentence.
Her crime?
Fatally stabbing one of the men who tried to rape her and her neice.
She is facing the death sentence for defending herself and her neice!
I’ve emailed one of my senators. Honestly I’m not sure what else I can do. But something should be done. This is wrong. Governments like the one in Iran are wrong. I am not in favor of the US going in with guns blazing like they did in Iraq (where women had more rights under Saddam than they do now!) but there must be something that can be done to help women in Iran. Something.
