Iran Human Rights, Mahmoud Amiry-Moghaddam, “What is surprising about this is that not only was this a public amputation, but that photos of it were distributed by official press agencies, and that they showed a machine that we had until yet never seen images of.

[Rabin]

Brings whole new concept to the term "finger food"

We sure are getting lazy around here about posting pics with the stories. Where the pic is so central to the story I would have thought including a pic would be automatic.

[I cannot think of a name]

Wonder if it also handles rapists?

It’s not difficult to click the link.

Well, that goes to show that Islamic countries ARE able to come up with new ideas and invent things.

So was Hitler

In America, we call that a bandsaw.

How would you apply such a device to the woman? After all we have been taught by the Muslims that it is always the woman who is guilty and the man is the innocent party.

[CORedneck]

More ways to be even more cruel and barbaric.

What efficiency!

We could install them at the division of motor vehicles offices.

Little secret....lots of Freepers are HTML challenged. Especially old timers.

Very imaginative of those Iranians. I take it that this is the extent of their technological expertise.

[Rebelbase]

Barbaric butchering bastards.

For some reason, I do not have problems with this. Here's my thinking: If you are thief and you come into my home to steal from me, then you are dead. Having finger cut off is much more humane than death, don't you think? The cost of courts, prisons, etc. are much better served by death by the victim.

But I still think Islam is a death cult.

[M-cubed]

yeah...and to a thief...the expression of being “lite-fingered” takes on a whole new meaning...

HTML does seem to be slipping on FR. I think the use of tablet may have something to do with it also. Too hard to post pics on a tablet. Where is the HTML sandbox thread anyhow.

First math, now finger-choppers! Brilliant Islamic Brainiacs those people are.
