Used to be, they would chop the whole hand off, now it’s just a finger. I guess that is the Islamic version of “soft on crime”.

Welcome back to the year 800 AD via radical Islam. The new Dark Ages are just around the corner for most of Planet Earth. The madness is spreading from the Middle East to N. Africa, the former Russian republics, Europe and will jump the Atlantic to N. America.

Looks like Iran is moving briskly into the 18th Century with their invention of the finger Guillotine.

Great! FR is where I learned HTML.
It was fun and the HTML sandbox thread a great read for any FReepers that want to learn how easy it is to post bold text, big text, colored text...and pictures!

That is one of the differences between us and them. they crow about being able to remove fingers, and we quietly find ways of
putting them back on or replacing lost hands altogether.

FR is where I learned HTML. Same here. Forums I hung out at before coming here, all used rich text editors, which allow you to do lots of the same things as HTML, but with just a click.

The Iranians have also modernized hanging by using construction cranes. No need to waste time and resources building gallows, making complicated trap doors etc...no sir just borrow a crane from your local construction site. Better still the device is completely mobile for those one donkey towns without any construction going on. Only the Chinese have a better system with traveling lethal injection vans complete with organ harvesting facilities.
