Silent Screams

Topics: Understanding Islam

The sadistic mullahs of Iran are torturing sentient human flesh in ways that rival the dungeons of medieval Europe. In using the terror of extreme physical pain and excruciating death to cow a populace into religous submission, the Iranian theocracy is the moral equivalent of the Spanish inquisition.

Demographically, the populace of Iran is young. More than 70% are not old enough to remember the violent upheaval that brought the aged Islamic extremists into power. They cry out for relief, they plead for intervention. But their silent screams are not heard.

Their desparate emails are written in Farsi. Few in America can read them. In a shameful dereliction of duty, the legacy media in America ignores them. To admit the existence of their suffering would be to lend support to the successful mid-east foreign policy of our President.

The female talking heads--with their excessive make-up, their board-stiff laquered hairdos, and their fatuous intonations--are not interested. Their male counterparts, comfortable in chauffered cars, wearing expensive suits, fawned over by ambitious underlings, are not moved. Their silence is deafening tribute to their obsolescence.

For an Iranian to report these atrocities to the outside world means risking agony and death. Yet large numbers of the young Iranians do just that. Their pictures are of poorer quality than average journalism, because they are obtained surreptitiously. They are often taken with low resolution imaging devices, such as camera phones, and from as safe a distance as possible.

Even innocent children have their limbs sawed off to punish their parents. It remains to the honest information brokers of the Blogosphere to tell the story of suffering in Iran. There are so many of us, being read by increasing numbers of truth-seekers. Once the story is spread on the Internet in the English language, the American public will be confronted with the truth. Certainly the liberation of Iran aligns with US foreign policy objectives. But the human justification for regime change is imperative.
