President Hassan Rouhani er blitt godt mottatt i det naive vesten. Hvorfor det?
In the past he was a sinister terror chief, head of Iran’s National Security Council in the years of the Buenos Aires bombing and the Khobar Towers bombing, which killed 85 mostly Jewish civilians and 19 American servicemen, respectively.
He’s also a seasoned con man, proud of having duped the West in the past on Iran’s nuclear program. “While we were talking to the Europeans in Tehran, we were installing equipment in Isfahan,” Rouhani wrote in 2011 about his 2003-2005 stint as Iran’s chief nuclear negotiator—Isfahan, as Netanyahu clarified, being the facility where Iran turns uranium ore into uranium for the bombs it will soon be producing en masse unless something is done about it.
Denne såkalte moderate lederen er president i et land som nå er i ferd med å godkjenne en lov om at menn kan gifte seg med sine 13 år gamle stedøtre. Eller legalisert incest som vi ville kalt det her.
Det er idag tillatt å gifte seg med 13-årige jenter, men stedøtre har så langt blitt spart. Man kan bare ane hvor forferdelig denne praksisen vil bli for disse småjentene.
‘This bill is legalizing pedophilia,’ sier advokat Shadi Sadr, som jobber for gruppen Justice for Iran.
‘It’s not part of the Iranian culture to marry your adopted child. Obviously incest exists in Iran more or less as it happens in other countries across the world, but this bill is legalizing pedophilia and is endangering our children and normalizing this crime in our culture.’
Iranske offisielle tjenestemenn sier at den nye loven bunner i praktiske hensyn (!) da adopterte døtre må være iført hijab i samkvem med fedrene.
Ms Sadr argues that it is just a legislative ploy to get around the normal bounds of a paternal relationship- with the sexual aspect of a marriage still in full play even though it is being publicly downplayed.
‘With this bill, you can be a pedophile and get your bait in the pretext of adopting children,’ she said.
