The Ayatollah, Sharia and Sex:
I was perfectly content to believe that Khomeini was simply a Pharisee, a legalist, a Raging Medieval Intolerant. I did not need to know that he raped a 5-year-old girl in order to dislike him. To know that he did, and that he justified it under the flimsiest of pretexts (as though rubbing your penis between someone's thighs is not a sex act), does not augment my dislike, but rather morphs it to a horrified nausea.
Please tell me that isn't the Q'uran that's being quoted. Tell me it's the Haditha. Whatever difference that might make.
