Iranian photographer Jahangir Razmi, took 70 pictures of an execution in Kurdistan on Aug. 27, 1979. One picture (No. 20, below) won the Pulitzer Prize. It was, however, awarded to an unnamed photographer -- the only anonymous recipient in the 90-year history of the award. Mr. Razmi preserved 27 of the photos on a contact sheet and stowed it away in his home. Below are those photos -- made public for the first time.

I hope Mr. Razmi is living outside Iran in a safe place
So do I. Thanks for posting this.
Bump
Murderous Mullahs.
Rock band?
No. Just more content from The Religion of Peace.
Thanks. Every time I tried to post the pic I got the red x.
I thought it was something to do with FR's agreement with WSJ or something.
Hmmmm. I wonder what I did differently?
According to the article he lives in Iran.
Not for much longer.

"According to the article he lives in Iran."
I was afraid of that. I wish him good luck then.
I don't have a subscription, so couldn't read the article.
Isn't Josh Prager Dennis's nephew?
I don't know
The religion of peace- fearlessly spreading their agenda at the end of a gun. http://sacredscoop.com
At the end of the linked video clip, the reporter who uncovered the photographer said he "hopes" and "trusts" that there will be no reprecussions for the photographer. Good luck, indeed.
"The religion of peace- fearlessly spreading their agenda at the end of a gun."
The Kurds killed were muslim. Khomeinism originated in Iran 27 yrs ago and they were "spreading their agenda at the end of a gun" the same as the communists.
It's a mistake to lump all muslims under one banner.
" the reporter who uncovered the photographer said he "hopes" and "trusts" that there will be no reprecussions for the photographer."
Yes, I heard. That's what made me think that Mr. Razmi was still in Iran. Maybe he believes he's been loyal to the regime and he's old and they won't do anything to him now.
Sometimes going public can save your life, due to the publicity you receive. Sometimes it can cause you to have an accident.
No sir- the 'religion of peace' referes to extremists 3who have hijacked an entire religion from those hwo only wish for true peace! NOONE is lumping ALL muslims together sir-
wish people would stopp inccorrectly implying that we're lumping all mulsims togehter when we talk abotu the extremists who have hijacked their religion- ALTHOUGH- the religion DOES advocate murdering infidels in MANY places in the Koran
"the 'religion of peace' referes to extremists 3who have hijacked an entire religion "
I appreciate your making the distinction, but you are using a term -"the religion of peace" - that most people use to describe Islam in general.
If you are specifically referring to Islamists/fanatics/extremists - then it would be better not to use a phrase that is used by most who use it as a description of the entire religion.
If you mean the extremists, then say the extremists.
By saying "the religion of paece" you are describing an entire religion, not the extreme element of that religion.
thanks for posting that link. I'm adding it to my list of blogs that I "drive-by" on a daily basis.
ok just no drive by shootings please lol
sorry convert- not too concerned about it- peopel speak of 'Christians' as being responsible for all of man's ill by refering to the crusades & NO distinction is ever made that it was UNSAVED people hijacking Christ's relgion who carried out hte acts- and another thing- in the Koran We're ALL infidels- don't htink they make ANY distictions about that-
"not too concerned about it"
You expressed concern that people misunderstand you when you said this....
"wish people would stopp inccorrectly implying that we're lumping all mulsims togehter when we talk abotu the extremists who have hijacked their religion-"
And you replied by trying to set the record straight when you said this...."NOONE is lumping ALL muslims together"
Seemed as though you were trying to sound concerned, but now you're saying that you're not.
I'll take your " not too concerned about it" as your true feelings then.
Have a nice day.
:o)
"Islam" in Arabic translates as SUBMISSION, NOT PEACE.

BS
Let us know when we can hear of of millions hundreds of thousands tens of thousands thousands even a hundred muslims publicly and repeatedly demanding and acting daily to destroy the jihadi cancer THAT IS PART AND PARCEL OF THE KORAN.
And not handfuls, not a dozen American muslims enlisting in the U.S. military, BUT GROUPS OF MUSLIMS DAILY PUTTING THEIR LIFE ON THE LINE TO CRUSH JIHAD.
Islam is a death cult. They slaughter each other and blame the U.S. and Israel, and they are trying to slaughter and rule over Christians and Jews worldwide. Maybe you can let us know know when YOU can start taking credit for closing wahabbi madrassas in the U.S....for getting jihadi immams deported, for organizing hit squads on Sadr or Amanutjob or Hamas or Hezbullah leaders or Assad...
Until then , don't try and "CAIR" us by trying to censor our language in some PC manner.
You're so off the mark about what I said in reply to cottshop, how it was said and meant and where I stand, that I'll just suggest you read it all again.
Kurds ping.
QUESTION: Were the Kurds who were killed Muslims?
ANSWER: Perhaps not. The Kurds may be or Jewish decent.
Though it is probably impossible to prove at this time, there is a real
possibility that the Kurds, who presently are devout Sunnite Moslems,
could be related to the lost tribes of Israel that were taken from the
land at the time of the Assyrian Captivity. Perhaps this could explain
why the Kurds have for centuries been the punching bags of the Moslems in
that part of the world. They are an unusual people and the above sources
show that they accept a certain amount of connection with the Jews.
(a) "The Genetic Bonds Between Kurds and Jews" by Kevin Alan Brook on an
online Kurdish Newspaper at www.barzan.com/kevin_brook.htm.
(b) Brook, Kevin A. The Jews of Khazaria. Northvale, NJ: Jason Aronson,
1999.
(c) Siegel, Judy. "Genetic evidence links Jews to their ancient tribe."
Jerusalem Post (November 20, 2001)
(d) Traubman, Tamara. "Study finds close genetic connection between Jews,
Kurds." Ha'aretz (November 21, 2001).
So do you think Islam is a "religion of peace" or not?
I never said it was. And I still think you're not understanding the conversation
If they are successful in their war against other religions, it will be easy to do that.
Here is a better rendition of #20:
A government firing squad executes nine Kurdish rebels and two former police officers of the deposed Shah of Iran after summary trials, Aug. 27, 1979. The next day, another 21 Kurdish rebels and military deserters were executed.
Corbis
"I never said it was. "
I didn't ask you what you said, I asked you if YOU think that islam is "a religion of peace."
Let me make it clearer for you.
Do you believe that "religion of peace" is an accurate description of islam, or a sarcastic one?
