Wow. They are only going to execute teenagers over 18 now. It’s a positive revival. Those Iranians are really coming around, boy oh boy. I’ll bet the British are happy to hear this, since they just instituted Sharia Law in their own country. Oh, my bad, they don’t have the death penalty in the UK. What a conundrum. (/extreme sarcastic disgust)

Limiting child executions, huh? I am glad to see that Iran has finally joined the ranks of civilized nations.

Funny, but I don't seem to recall there being ANY child executions when the Shah of Iran was in power.

Of course that was before Jimmy Carter referred to the Ayatollah Khomeini as a 'godly man' and shoved the knife into what USED to be one of our strongest allies in the Persian Gulf.

What a lovely feel good story. And this epitome of culture aims to spread its barbarism worldwide. And what’s more, the prophet Obama wants a no conditions fireside chat with these animals. Maybe he’ll talk them all into either gay marriages or abortion to save them the trouble of executing their children. He’ll fix it at the source.

"We can't deny a victim's family of the legal right to ask for Islamic qisas, or eye for eye retribution."

There you go - the basis of this cancer's existence through the centuries. The religion on which O'Bomber was raised.

People got all excited the other day, thinking that the regime was actually going to stop executing people for crimes committed as kids.
Naive.
Now the other shoe has dropped. They’re not so excited anymore.

Are “honor killings” included?
