Poem
after declining to succumb to the romantic notions of mr. majid mohavedi, Amenah, a once beautiful Iranian Woman, ran from him while he relentlessly stalked her for two years until he found her & threw a bucket of acid on her face, melting all of her physical beauty away & blinding her completely in 2004 after 17 surgeries, she is still blind & she will be for the rest of her life--- mr. mohavedi on the other hand, still walks with both eyes viewing the world which she can no longer see good ol’ sharia law, which was written by mortal MEN, permits Amenah a qisa which would have allowed her to gain payback or “justice” (if you believe that burning out another’s eyes would compensate for your own COMPLETE LOSS OF EYESIGHT & A FACE), by having acid dropped in his eyes & at the time of his trial, she told the court in question that this was exactly what she wanted the punishment of mohavedi was originally supposed to take place in april of 2009, but was delayed & put off until may of this year, when it was postponed indefinitely, and even if it had occurred, it should be noted that because the qu’ran states that a woman is worth half of a man (“...get two witnesses, out of your own men, and if there are not two men, then a man and two women” qu’ran, 2:282), even if he had been punished, he would have only lost ONE EYE today, Amenah pardoned mohavedi, so that he will not lose an eye & while this decision is being hailed by amnesty international and people around the world as being the right moral thing to do, it seems as if the issue of women’s rights & religion has yet again been circumvented & the real catalyst of the events of these past 9 years gets swept under the carpet again the fact remains that if these backward & violent ideas WRITTEN BY MEN & PERPETUATED BY MEN were ceased altogether, by throwing out beliefs based on a poorly written work of fiction, then the women living in the parts of the world where these ridiculously misogynistic behaviors still hold dominance would not have to live uneducated & with a much shorter life span, hoping not to get their faces burnt off because they simply declined a marriage proposal.
