I have been following Aghajaris case since the initial case against him.

He is incredible courages. He is daring the mullah's to execute him. Will they blink? How will the students react?

Prayers for this courageous hero.

Oh boy, this is going to cause a total explosion. The young students in Iran love this man. I think he's counting on them to bring things to a head.

between reformists and conservatives in Iran

I am surprised the Seattle rag didn't say liberals or progressives in lieu of reformists. Its no accident they chose the word conservatives instead of theocratic dictators or the like

THANKS.
I'm following this story, too.. He was also sentenced to lashings, among other things.

"In addition to the death sentence, Aghajari received a sentence of 74 lashes of the whip, eight years imprisonment and internal exile, and a 10-year prohibition from teaching. Aghajari has 20 days to lodge an appeal once he officially receives the text of his sentence."

Me and my husband and family were actually in Hamedan, Iran when this man made the speech that the twit judge has condemned him to die for. All he said was that the Iranian people weren't monkeys that needed clerics to rule over every aspect of their lives. He in no way insulted Islam (not that I would have cared much if he had). The day of the speech the town authorities shut the bazaar and all business down. This man had lost a leg in the Iran/Iraq war and the mullahs really fear him. The Iranian regime is inept, corrupt and is in the process of destroying the people's faith in their religion. I predict in a few decades time Iran will no longer be a Moslem country. This may sound like a fantasy but when we were in Iran I met many Christian converts and some that just didn't believe anything anymore. If the mullahs don't go back to the mosques and start performing weddings and such tney will have destroyed everything the purport to hold dear. The mad mullahs are some scared and desperate SOB's right now and executing this man is complete insanity.

Apostasy? So I guess it's now apostasy to criticize the ruling Mullahs.
