I do not know what unforgivable crime these women have committed in this value system that they have been seized by these brave men in the middle of the night

I am only astonished as to why one of these captive women, under the feet of these 'conquerors,' desperately cries out: 'By the Quran, my right hand, by Imam Hussein, my left hand...!'

When the wife of Saeed Imami was tortured in a similar manner for confession, and she, in her cries and moans, swore by the Quran and other saints and sacred figures that she had not committed the alleged crimes, did the torturers cease their torture?

When that American police officer, alongside other officers, calmly placed his knee on George Floyd's neck while he begged and pleaded, 'I can't breathe,' did the police pay any attention to his pleas, as these plainclothes officers should?

Although it is unlikely, if Floyd had sworn by the Bible, Mary, and Jesus at that moment, perhaps the American police would have released his neck out of respect for these sacred names, and he might still be alive today, and some of our officials would not be mourning his death.

'The men of the past, many of whom were martyred on the fronts.'"
