Last night I watched the HBO documentary, “I am Neda” about the life of a young Iranian girl who stood against Islamic religious suppression and took a bullet through her heart for the effort.
Neda Soltan
Her family buried her the day after she was murdered without an Iman to say prayers, because the Iranian government would not allow it. They even refused to allow the family to memorialize Neda after 40 days which s traditional and customary under Islam. Iran is the front line in the global war on terrorism, and Iranians like Neda risk everything.
Neda, moments after been shot
How did such a beautiful, loving girl become a martyr for freedom? The video of her death went viral in minutes and became the “shot heard ’round the world” in the new Iranian revolution. Watch the documentary. Please.
In line with Iran where girls can forced into marriage at age 9, where a woman’s testimony is legally considered half value of a man, where a man can divorce his wife but not visa versa, I suggest you rent the true story, “The Stoning of Soraya M”. You heard it right stoning.
