We execute people whjo committed crimes as children in this country too. We execute people with mental illnesses that contributed to their crimes.

And we have people in this country who want the government to regulate private sexual behavior between adults.

In Georgia a woman can go to jail for buying a vibrator. What the Iranians are doing is terrible but there are things we can do here to be more consistent with our values also. There is no equivalence between the U.S. and the Iranian law - we try to be more fair and more modern but the problems here are at least something we could start fixing today.

"Once Europe turns muslim then Shariah will be the law."

In certain areas of France that are predominantly Muslim, the Muslims insist they be allowed to rule with Sharia law and that French governing officials not even enter those sections. The French agreed. The beginning of the end.
Seeing some of our own Supreme Court Justices look to foreign law to make their rulings, I'm bracing for the day they use Sharia law

Aah, The religion of Peace.
And the progressive Left thinks that if these religious zealots take over they will be safe? What a rude awakening they will have.

I disagree with you totally. There is no moral equivalence between the US and the IslamoNazis.

But Judge Haji Rezaii was determined she should hang, regardless of the rules of international law which say only adults over 18 can be executed, and that the courts have a duty to children and the mentally ill.

We did the same thing until the Supreme Court stepped in in Roper v. Simmons. Good for the goose, good for the gander.

Boy, international law sure gets around in the citing of it, if not the utility.

The ideology of intolerance, death and destruction showing what it is really about. Interesting how the left, the ideology which sells itself as tolerant, kind, caring, is completely in love with the ideology of intolerance, death and destruction.

It takes Stone Age cavemen to find such a use for a Modern Age device. Evolution is their answer, and the Israeli air force should provide the mutation.

In Georgia a woman can go to jail for buying a vibrator.

Yeah, but she can vote to change the law, she can move.

And the sentence is not death by hanging.

BTW, how many women have been incarcerated in Georgia under this statute, during the last five years?

So we agree the situation is not as bad in Georgia. That doesn't change that we do some lesser but similar things to what we are complaining about in Iran and thus I suggest we start here. Between Georgia and Alabama I remember about a dozen cases of the vibrator laws being enforced in the last few years.

The brutal end to Atefeh's short life has shone a new light on Iran's Shariah law

No new light was or is necessary to anyone with half a brain.

And Muslims in Canada want to be able to legally hold their own courts and pass their own judgements according to sharia law. I think that so far,they are allowed to in civil cases

They did for civil law and got told no they can't. Criminal law was not mentioned . They knew better.

Where are the feminists to defend her.

The feminists in this country are geared up to attack alleged victims of white male conservative CEOs. - (The liberal Bill Clinton didn'tqualify for their wrath.)-- Tom

What a contrast between true Christianity and radical Islam. Jesus did not condemn the woman caught in adultery about to be stoned. "Let he without sin cast the first stone". Instead he forgave her and said, "go and sin no more".

Frankly, I'd rather have a pair of panties put over my head by those evil American soldiers.

Ahhh isn't it nice to see the Religion of Peace knows how to put misbehaving females in their place.

I just can't figure out why the libs and the MSM just love islam and muslims but take such a dim view of conservative Baptists. You know, all that stand by your man stuff from a few years ago.

Maybe the Baptists should take up honor killings and make their women wear face coverings. That should bring libs and the MSM over to their side.
