The Choice of a Martyr

Ahoo Dairiyaei's Revolution

First, understand the term "morality police" implies that there is a unified office under which all operate. That is not the case, as there are a variety of morality police forces and they are in effect the enforcement arm of the government. There are district morality police, school morality police, neighborhood morality police, etc. Even the most minor of infractions, such as a bit of hair showing under a covering will get you attacked and beaten. You can't escape from them, if you fight back you and your family will be targeted.

If they arrest you, what awaits is quite often rape, torture, and death. Most are beaten to death, but if there has been resistance or other to raise the stakes, they can be hung. Keep in mind that rape is a tool, and one mandated years ago by the Ayatollah who decreed that female prisoners of any age were to be raped before execution so they would go to hell and not to heaven. No joke. If you want to learn the horrors that await those who defy these animals, there is plenty out there for you to look up. No, not linking as this is something you need to look up and see for yourself, so that it can't be dismissed as mere propaganda.

Which brings us back to this young lady, Ahoo Dariyaei. Watch the video. She was attacked, fought back, and then they were surprised. Look at her face, at the anger there, as she raised the stakes on them. Then watch her as she realizes where she is at in terms of choices. You see the anger, the fear, and then the determination. She very clearly knows what awaits (rape, torture, death most likely), and steps forward anyway. She makes a choice, and though she is scared, she steps up and out anyway. That is the choice of a martyr, a willing sacrifice.

My mother and step father lived in Iran, working for Exxon when the Shah fell in 1979.
He was a very smart man. He came home one evening and told my mother to pack a light suitcase.
They drove to the airport, left the car in the parking lot and took the first plane out.
Two days later the revolution exploded.
They lost their car, their home and everything in it.
The 2 house keepers that worked for my mother were raped and murdered
Every Iranian my father worked with was arrested and murdered.
Wearing glasses was a sign of subversive western influence and was cause for arrest and a hanging.
Things have only gotten worse in the last 44 years.

if they worship a god who would not allow a woman into paradise because she was raped, but would allow a prison guard who raped the woman into paradise, they are not worshiping God at all, but rather a demon. The God of Abraham has declared, "I desire mercy rather than burnt offerings." Hosea6:6

my mother and step father

also my wife
she went  to a Swiss boarding school in the early 70's
many of her classmate were from Iran, the children of wealthy Iranians.
She went to a class reunion about 15 years ago and found that almost all her classmates were orphaned
by the Revolution, their parents rounded up and slaughtered.

and
When we lived in Anaheim in the 90's, my step daughter used a daycare center run by a young Iranian woman.
She was a student in California in 1979 when the revolution hit.
She never heard from anyone in her family again... her entire clan vanished off the face of the earth.
