Activist: Iranian mother of two to be stoned to death - CNN.com

"Ashtiani, 42, will be buried up to her chest, according to an Amnesty International report citing the Iranian penal code. The stones that will be hurled at her will be large enough to cause pain but not so large as to kill her immediately."


This is punishment for alleged adultery, the confession for which came as a result of torture and language barrier.

Is this punishment going to be carried out because Iran's government is Islamic or because Iran's government is a bunch of crazy @ssho!es?

Iran Had a Democracy Before We Took It Away

Iranians do not need or want us to teach them about liberty and representative government. They have long embodied this struggle. It is we who need to be taught. It was Washington that orchestrated the 1953 coup to topple Iran’s democratically elected government, the first in the Middle East, and install the compliant shah in power. It was Washington that forced Prime Minister Mohammed Mossadegh, a man who cared as much for his country as he did for the rule of law and democracy, to spend the rest of his life under house arrest. We gave to the Iranian people the corrupt regime of the shah and his savage secret police and the primitive clerics that rose out of the swamp of the dictator’s Iran. Iranians know they once had a democracy until we took it away.

I don't care what you call the reasoning of this, is this right and just ABOUSTELY NOT, are they an animalistic bunch, you beta ya, there is no reasoning with these animals, i don't care what she did, the tortue of the rocks, is definitely not warranted. These people need rocks hurled at themselves, for not thinking with a normal capacity. Their brains.

Blame America first!
Ok so let's go to Crater who helped the Islamic revolution. He is the one we owe this extreme barbaric regime.
I believe in personal responsibility.
The Iranians are responsible to topple this regime, and bring hope and change, they just need our help.
As for this poor woman, my hearts go to her, this is just savagery.

America is to blame, whether you think so or not. The Iranian youth have been rebelling or haven't you noticed?

You are the "America hater" if you think that things that were done in the name of your country are excusable no matter how much it goes against what were meant to stand for, You most likely did not read the links that I provided, in fact, I know that you didn't. You just ignorantly jumped on a few words at random and out of context to make a stupid statement.

Sickofnyc you are obviously an apologist for this Iranian regime. So why not answer my original question instead of highjacking this thread and blaming America for everything wrong in this world.
