From a government that allows ‘temporary marriages’ to 10 year old girls.

It is sad for this case — I was hoping it was a non-political sentencing of someone who wrote a virus.

Any Westerner who goes to Iran or any of its muzzie brethren countries goes at his/her own peril.

Dance with the alligator, you might get bitten.

Hard to work up any sympathy.

AWRIGHT! THAT’S ENOUGH!

It’s now WAY past time that the civilized world act to simply cordon off these Islamic regimes; to let them rage and stew and claw at each other within an impenetrable international boundary they are not permitted to transgress. Nobody — nor any object of any kind — ought to be allowed in or out. It is in the interest of civilized human society that we cut off all interface with these idiots, wait them out, and send in the mop-and-bucket brigade after they’ve finally eaten one another alive.

Islam needs to be treated like Mein Kampf and nazi philosophy after WWII. It’a obviously a fraud perpetrated by a pedophile goatherder,, and there will be no peace until it it’s no longer treated as a legitimate religion, but as the murderous death cult it is.

Hear, hear!

The problem is that, within the culture where these death-eaters reside, are millions of other people who are, for lack of a better terminology, prisoners. They don’t subscribe to the party line of the mad mullahs; but they cannot get out, and the ranks of the true believers around them are so numerous as to render it an impossible task to extract them.

To illustrate, recall the parable of the wheat and the weeds. The farmer had a rich field of wheat where, as the wheat began to sprout, his field hands came to him and reported that great numbers of weeds were also sprouting up; thoroughly mixed in among the growing grain. Seeing there was no way to pull up the weeds without also jeopardizing the wheat, the farmer determined to leave all of the plants in the field until harvest, and separate them afterward. The parable is given in a spiritual context, but has real, practical application in this instance.

Wall off the blood cult world, and treat it as a despicable place unworthy of habitation by an civilized people. Let those who can escape, escape; as from the Eastern Bloc countries during the Cold War, but — other than that — keep the whole place entirely contained, and impose a total embargo of all goods and services both in and out.

He should have stayed in Canada and tried for citizenship rather than going back to that hell hole.

And a day after Congress rejected SOPA, Obama shutdown megauploads.com and the federal government seized the private data of thousands if not millions.

I suspect the real reason may have to do with making it easier to upload pics that reveal too much about life in Iran. The charges are unlikely to be the real reason they don’t like him.
