In the theocracy of Iran, the morality police arrested a 22-year-old woman for not properly wearing her hijab (head covering). Three days later in a hospital while in police custody, the young woman died. Iranian citizens took to the streets to protest the death.
Protestors were arrested. One protestor has been sentenced to be executed for the crime of “enmity against God”.
Iran is a theocracy governed by Muslim fundamentalists. All religions have fundamentalists, including the US where they are generally known as white evangelicals.
This US group has made itself more prominent by engaging in politics where their platform is based on Christian Nationalism – the US becoming a Christian country in governance. Their chief mission is to prohibit abortion for any reason in the entire country.
More dangerous is their similar thinking to the Iran policy of executing those who show “enmity against God”. As an organization without power, they cannot (yet) carry out such a policy, but their theocratic beliefs completely support such a policy. This policy is found in their belief that non-Christians will suffer for all eternity in a torture chamber (hell) for the crime of “enmity against God”. It is a small step once in power to implement this policy in the secular manner of judicial (official) murder.
Words to the wise.
