Well, Jeez, I guess somebody has to make some kind of "eye for an eye" remark, so I guess it might as well be me....

Iran’s State Supreme Court has upheld a sentence for a young man’s eyes to be gouged out and sprayed with acid, for blinding another man at the age of 16 some 12 years ago.

Yet another ringing endorsement for the timeless spiritual majesty and glory that is Islam! CELEBRATE DIVERSITY! < /sarcasm>

I thought 'an eye for an eye' was from the First Testament NOT The Koran.

A large part of the Koran is a rip-off of the Old Testament.

"A large part of the Koran is a rip-off of the Old Testament."


An argument to extend the period of copyright protection?

\ That's not completely true. Some of the same stories are told, but as if they are remembered stories, not transcriptions.

It's like a religion... only for animals, instead of people.

How can a country such as this continue to exist in the 21st century? And why would we ever want to have anything to do with it? I'll be expecting to hear cries of outrage from the rest of the world.....just as soon as they finish working us over for abusing the Koran.

Maybe Sean Penn can attend, and can compare Iran favorably to the USA. "Like, we have the death penalty too, dude, so we have no reason to feel superior."

I can write his article already.

Under increasing international pressure for violations of the rights of the child, the Iranian regime keeps convicted children in juvenile prisons and issues court verdicts only after they turn 18 so as to carry out sentences that would have be handed out if the defendants were adults.

Well how very considerate of Children they are. The UN should put them on the Human Rights Council.

Under Iranian law, boys above the age of fifteen are considered as adults and could be convicted of capital offences.
this part of the law I could accept
