I read this yesterday at Best of the Web<\/a> and the Jerusalem Post<\/a>. Now it’s made it’s way to Fox News<\/a>. I’ll admit that it sounded a bit far-fetched that J-Post can’t find but one witness to this, but it’s becoming news, nonetheless;<\/p>\n

In the Islamic Republic it is illegal to execute a young woman, regardless of her crime, if she is a virgin, he explained.
