Man, these people are just crazy. It’s like looking back into the 9th century.

Heck of a lot more in common with the French Revolution and Stalin’s show trials.
Oops! His bad.
Thank you for the ping Calpernia.
“Man, these people are just crazy. It’s like looking back into the 9th century.”
Too bad we can’t get Prince to sing “We’re going to party like it’s nine ninety nine!”
The secular ideology of this Shia cleric is that the “Hidden Imam” is the only one who has the legitimate competence to rule and pass judgment based on Islam, not the “Supreme Leader” and other self pro-claimed “Marjas” (Council of Guardian) who have the ultimate power in Iran, one after the other above the mostly symbolic president and parliament.Prediction: he will be granted a last minute reprieve and be allowed to quietly retire to a villa in Qom where he will live out his days in relatively comfortable house arrest. The Mullahs do not want yet another Martyr.
Not enough! I want him dis-barred permanently!
OOPs - I thought I clicked on the Mike Nifong thread. Oh well, death is not enough for this Ayatollah. I want him permanently dis-barred too!
What a bunch of fu.... up people.
That would be the 10th century.
Eight ninety nine would be the ninth century.
:-)
No, actually, this Ayatollah is a good guy.
The guy’s ‘heresy’ of nonjudgmentalism and leaving the choices to God sounds a lot like normal people’s Christianity and Buddhism and Judaism and Hinduism.
Pray for the guy, he’s hearing God.
Bump and ping.
Doubt they will pardon him or let him live. The current Ahmadi-Nejad admin wants people like him dead not a continuing sore source of discontent should there be a future power shift. This might be different had there been an uprising at the time of his arrest. He called for people to rise in support at the time but nobody came. Thus the current clerics have no fear of any major upset at his death.
Unlike the pre-revolution fallacy that kept Khomeini alive - “don’t want to create a martyr” which resulted in the horrific current situation in Iran, had he been “removed with prejudice” while in France, Iran would not be suffering the clerics today.
Though it might be under Marxist rule since the Mullahs stole the revolution out of the mouth of the Marxist-Islamist Mojaheddins. The Islamist part was purely a cover for their Communist activites, orchestrated directly out of the Soviet embassy in Tehran.
Don’t worry, he’ll get his virgins.
Twelfth Imam bump
