An anectode from the mullahs' sadistic regime

Sometimes a single mullah serves as judge, jury and executioner. Hadji Rezai is the mullah judge of the small city of Neka. When Atefeh Rajabi, a young and psychologically unstable girl, refused to be his "temporary" wife, Rezai framed her with the blessings of the high court in Tehran. Allegations of sexual misconduct were fabricated against her, so that she could be brought to “justice” according to the scorned Rezai, who personally hung the noose around Atefeh’s neck. Rezai’s last words to the dying young girl: “This will teach you to disobey!”

Under the global caliphate envisioned by the Salafists/Caliphists, this is completely permissible. Even if there were a passage in the Koran against such abuse of power, and even if it were unabrogated by a later verse and even if it did not have its meaning watered down by a hadith, who would enforce mercy for women, children and the infirm?
Every story like this, and there are millions of them, clearly illustrates that Islamic states have no checks and balances against the worst of human nature, no protection for its weaker members. To think that a global caliphate would be any different is magical thinking.
I have friends who may be typical of many liberal people in America. They respect Islam as they do all religions, because they value freedom of religion. They respect and value people of other races. They care for the environment and they care for women's rights. They haven't looked deeper into Islam, and why should they have? (Aside from 9/11, there is no reason for them to have examined it. Why they have become deeply involved and learned about the logging issue but not the Islam issue is a good question but I'll save it for another time.)
A short conversation with some of my friends revealed to me that they apparently believe that either Muslims or Arabs (I did not quite get which they meant but am leaning towards Arabs) are an agricultural people who live in harmony with the environment. From which they jumped to the conclusion that under this ideal agricultural society, women would have equal rights and children would be cherished.
There are so many fallacies in this line of reasoning, it alarms me. Suffice it to say, I document these grisly scenes to refute the idea that there is any reason to prefer the Islamic society over the perfectly good one we have right now.
