How do the Mulim 'Holy Men' stay in power? Why is Islam the 'Religion of Peace?'

On the occasion of International Human Rights Day (Friday, December 10), the torture and execution of political prisoners in Iran was the focus of a briefing in New York hosted by the non-governmental organization Women’s Freedom Forum. The treatment of women, especially women political activists, was featured. The walls of the room were lined with documentary posters with names and photographs of men, women, and children who had been killed by the mullahs in Iran. A number of the photographs were family groups – mother, father, and two, three, four, five, even six children; that had been killed by the Iranian regime for their political activism.
The program included videos and photographs of trials, lashings and executions over the past 25 years. Some images were from the early days of the revolution, some from the late 1980s, and one photograph showing the hanging of a group of seven men in Zahedan just three days before the event on December 7, 2004.
The victims are hoisted into the air by a crane in a public place in order to terrorize the population and suppress further resistance to the regime
Thanks for the ping!
