On Sunday, August 15, a 16-year-old girl in the town of Neka, northern Iran, was executed. Ateqeh Sahaleh was hanged in public on Simetry Street off Rah Ahan Street at the city center.
The sentence was issued by the head of Neka’s Justice Department and subsequently upheld by the mullahs’ Supreme Court and carried out with the approval of Judiciary Chief Mahmoud Shahroudi.
In her summary trial, the teenage victim did not have any lawyer and efforts by her family to recruit a lawyer was to no avail. Ateqeh personally defended herself. She told the religious judge, Haji Rezaii, that he should punish the main perpetrators of moral corruption not the victims.
The judge personally pursued Ateqeh’s death sentence, beyond all normal procedures and finally gained the approval of the Supreme Court. After her execution Rezai said her punishment was not execution but he had her executed for her “sharp tongue”.

Kerry won't stand up to these people.
He will negotiate with them, and then they will have the bomb, and then NYC is in peril.

she had her executed for her “sharp tongue” I wonder what she said, and to whom she said it?

What was her "sin". I'm wondering that myself - presumably she offended the 'religion of peace' somehow.

So... I am reminded of the adulteress about to be stoned in front of Jesus, alone, while the man she was caught with walked free.
Muslims need Jesus.

She said 'I think it is wrong that I should be on trial for being raped while the barbaric scum who raped me is being hailed by the men in our society as a viral manly stud.'
I just made that up but it's soooo believable, isn't it?
and so sad.

There's a warm place in Hell for these folks. Let's get them acquainted with it as soon as possible.

There was an earlier thread that explained all this. Maybe "was" was the right word -- it's gone now.

I'm sure it is probably something along those lines.
F*cking animals.

The Religion of Peace TERROR is a sick, satanic, misogynistic, death cult. Yes, just look at the Olympics - all countries had a reasonable proportion of women - all except the Islamofascist states.

See post #15 for a link to more detail.
In the article it says she threw pieces of clothing at the 'judge'.
This girl was 16 and knew what kind of society she lived in. Can you imagine the hopelessness and desperation she must have felt to have gone so far to show her contempt for these neanderthal mullahs?
We cannot allow our children to inherit a planet where these animals are a force to contend with.
Bush/Cheney 04!!!!!!!
