Women – beheaded, burned to death, stoned, stabbed, electrocuted and buried alive – all for the honor of their families.
Part One
Part Two

"'The verdict regarding the extramarital affairs has stopped and it's being reviewed,' Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast told Iran's state-run English-language Press TV."

A slightly misleading post, to say the least:
"Iran had previously indicated it had lifted Ms. Ashtiani’s stoning sentence, even as it gave indications she would instead be executed by hanging."

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/09/wo....html?_r=1&hpw

They changed the accusation from adultery to murder and the method of execution from stoning to hanging.
The Iranian nuts are determined to kill this woman.

It's the method of stoning that was the issue, that the global public outcry may have stopped Hanging is okey-dokes in Western countries.

The "?" was for the ridiculous accusation about liberals not caring about the stoning, or human rights violations in general -- not exactly a key plank in the right wing platform.

No doubt. It's amazing that 99 lashes didn't kill her.

Pretty sick that one of the most liberal females on this board would rather attack Conservatives than condem this barbaric practice. Gloria Steinem, is that you?

I don't have cable TV and I have never seen the story on the main stream news. Why, Did I miss it or was it not reported?

Um, it's a given that liberals condemn stoning and other such barbaric practices. Since Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch et al. are viewed by "conservatives" as liberal outfits to be mocked and avoided, I didn't think that would need to be explained. But maybe so.

And isn't it heartwarming to see rightwingers now so suddenly concerned with the plight of abused women around the globe? Awwwww.

Oh right, but crazy fanatic Christians are ok?

Eric Rudolph, Scott Roeder, Westboro Baptist Church I am looking your way.

EXTREMISM in ANY religion is a recipe for disaster.

We only attack people with resources we need though.

So sorry.

Like I said, they'd rather attack Conservatives than personally denounce the barbaric behavior. Hey, thanks for not letting us down lib-gals!
