On Being a Girl in Islam > Young woman shares her childhood nightmares in Iran

An ex-Muslim woman was sold as a child bride at just 13 years old in Iran. She endured years of rape, torture, and unimaginable cruelty at the hands of her Muslim husband. She eventually escaped the Islamic regime, fled to America, and rebuilt her life. Now she is bravely speaking out against the ideology that destroyed her childhood. This is the real face of Islam for countless girls, yet the failed United Nations allowed Iran to chair the Commission on the Status of Women. Her courage is extraordinary. Please share this widely.

Ireland Approaching Sodom > Enoch Burke's fair trial admittedly not fair - back to jail for pronoun misuse - 650 days and counting

Today my brother teacher

@EnochBurke

went before a disciplinary appeal panel. He was suspended from his job and jailed after refusing to accept transgenderism. What took place today was shocking. By law the panel is to be an “informal hearing”. When he arrived he was confronted by a top Employment Barrister as well as a Solicitor from a major Dublin law firm. The lawyers were acting for the school. The presence of lawyers at such an appeal is contrary to law and to Department of Education procedures for dealing with appeals. Enoch objected to the presence of these lawyers. The Chair of the Disciplinary Appeals Panel, Claire Callanan said to Mr Burke: “We may be wrong and you may be right but we are going ahead nonetheless.” When Enoch continued to object, he was removed by prison guards. When members of his family who were present objected, they were removed by police. Enoch Burke was taken back in a prison van to Castlerea prison. This is an utterly appalling and unbelievable travesty of justice.

BREAKING: Shocking scenes as Enoch Burke denied justice and forced out of Appeal Hearing by prison officers Enoch Burke’s mother Martina Burke and brother Dr Isaac Burke were also removed by police. At the start of the Disciplinary Appeal Panel hearing, which is by law an “informal” hearing, Enoch Burke objected to the presence of a top Employment Barrister as well as a Solicitor from a major Dublin law firm. Despite Enoch Burke’s repeated objections, the Chair of the Disciplinary Appeals Panel, Claire Callanan said to Mr Burke: “We may be wrong and you may be right but we are going ahead nonetheless.” Barrister Barra Faughnan BL and Solicitor Fiona Sheil of Mason Hayes & Curran Solicitors were acting for Wilson’s Hospital School at the hearing in Athlone today. The presence of lawyers at such an appeal is contrary to settled law and Department of Education procedures for dealing with appeals. Enoch Burke has now spent over 650 days behind bars after refusing to use they/them pronouns for a student. These are the third Disciplinary Appeal Panel proceedings in relation to Enoch Burke that have ended in shambles.
