Hi friends,
Thank you Namaste for offering this petition to signatures... Indeed I was aware of it and, signed it a few days back.
Today, the e-mail I received is saying that: "Wow - 400,000 signers in a few days - and Sakineh's children just told us today they feel this effort might keep her alive! Let's get to 1 million against stoning in Iran - sign the petition below and send this email on to everyone!"
Sakineh should be freed! She is claming her innocence.
It is important to see behind appearances here so, I would like to draw your attention upon the fully documented facts that, when muslim women are accused of adultery, it is often that they have been raped, most of the times by their husband's friends and, in conivence with him. I repeat, this is fully documented. These women have to go through a most horrendous ordeal when their husband decides to get rid of them for whatever reason.
Muslim dominated countries are male dominated to extremes. Islam considers that women have NO SOUL, hence no legal right, no voice, not even the right to express her side of the story when facing accusation, condamnation or execution. She is, by law, her husband's servant and slave and remain so until her death. A muslim woman BELONGS to a man, first her father, then, her husband! Those who get a good person for husband are the lucky ones, the others are living daily ordeals of all kinds, including rapes, beating ups and bad treatments.
So, yes, I was eager to sign this petition and, I do hope that awareness of the situation of muslim women will be spread widely and, supported globaly by every one who condemns violence.
I signed this petition in support for all our sisters under muslim laws.
In the Light of Truth and, the love for all badly and unfairly treated sisters around this world.
