Iran girl gets 100 lashes for sex
BBC ^ | 2/24/05 | BBC

Posted on 02/24/2005 1:55:19 PM PST by Cyrus the Great

A teenage girl and two young men in Iran have been sentenced to lashes for having sex. The court dismissed the girl's claim that we was raped. It said she had sex of her own free will, the official Iran Daily newspaper reported.

The girl was sentenced to 100 lashes because her accusations of rape and kidnap could have landed her partners a death penalty, the Tehran judge said.

Sex outside marriage is illegal in Iran and capital punishment can be imposed.

The young men in the case were sentenced to 30 and 40 lashes each.

Rights violations

The Iran paper quotes the girl, who has not been named, as confessing: "I trusted one of these young men, whom I got to know by phone, and went to his place.

"But because he betrayed me, I filed the case against him and his friend out of revenge."

International concerns continue to be raised about women's rights in Iran.

In December the UN General Assembly voted to censure Iran for human rights violations, including discrimination against women and girls.

Tehran rejected the criticism as propaganda.

Under Iranian law, girls over the age of nine and boys over 16 face the death penalty for crimes such as rape and murder, while capital punishment can be imposed in certain cases of illegal sexual relationships.

The girl probably won't survive the 100 lashes. These Islamawhackos are all homos, sadists and misogynists.

But a liberal whacko feminist in one of the university classes I attend told me we couldn't make "cultural judgements" in regards to suicide bombings, etc.

White suburbanite liberals make me wanna' puke.

One of these days I'm going to be expelled when I let the bunch of 'em know exactly how I feel, but it will sure be worth it.

Here in America it can earn an unborn child the death penalty--without due process.

You can bet there are far fewer (if any) abortions in Islamic countries than there are in the USA. Perhaps there is something we can learn from Islam.

What do homosexuals in Iran take to get stoned?

One step out their front door.

and of course liberal women's groups like NOW will say nothing about this horrific case....they are far too busy setting up a witch hunt against anyone who thinks there are gender differences in the brain to deal with real violations of women's rights.

I have a great idea! Let's move Hollywood and all its occupants to Iran. There should be enough work there to keep those wacko holy men busy for a long time, leaving the local, innocent girls in peace.

Looks to me like she's getting just what she deserves.

I'm sure the confession was obtained using only methods approved by Alberto Gonzalez.

It is a religion of peace! They are very equitable in their treatment of women!

These are the people who have the brass to critize General Mattis for killing those who enforce this kind of BS law.

If you would have bothered to read the story, you would have understood that the girl falsely accused the two guys of rape.

The Iran paper quotes the girl, as confessing: "I trusted one of these young men, whom I got to know by phone, and went to his place. "But because he betrayed me, I filed the case against him and his friend out of revenge."

The males are getting forty and thirty lashes respectively for having illicit sex, the female is getting one hundred lashes for false accusation and illicit sex.

I don't agree with the sentence for banging each other, but the punishment for false accusation sits with me just fine.

Most of what is worth knowing in this world can be found in the Bible. I seriously doubt Islam has anything to teach Christians who are actually Christians and not sunday-only Christians.

This photo is from the BBC article. It appears this young girl (probably a different victim) was buried in the ground and stoned.

Oooh, that required a huge amount of intellect.

Since you find fault with Mr Gonzalez, I believe that you are liberal communist sympathizing troll.

100 lashes? Sounds you must have had experience in that area to make such an absurd statement. Here we get outraged over what the Iranians do and here's one of our own who thinks it's OK. Nothing surprises me anymore.

The Sadestic pervert wielding the lash, was probably getting off on administering pain. The young lady was raped twice.

Only someone psychotic could think the Muslim way is better than what we have to deal with here.

We sure can:

Women are scum. They are to be beaten, denied voting rights, denied driving rights, denied property rights. They can be raped, and then stoned for seducing a man. If they are caught without being covered head to toe, they can be beaten. If they are caught having sex, they will be beaten, or killed as they have 'dishonored the family'.

Hell yeah! Sign me up!

Once again, only someone with control issues would find Islam admirable.
