Pull out the troops, nuke the Middle East
 
http://www.shoutwire.com/viewstory/4...ath_By_Hanging

Tehran, Iran, Jan. 07 – An Iranian court has sentenced a teenage rape victim to death by hanging after she weepingly confessed that she had unintentionally killed a man who had tried to rape both her and her niece.

The state-run daily Etemaad reported on Saturday that 18-year-old Nazanin confessed to stabbing one of three men who had attacked the pair along with their boyfriends while they were spending some time in a park west of the Iranian capital in March 2005.

Nazanin, who was 17 years old at the time of the incident, said that after the three men started to throw stones at them, the two girls’ boyfriends quickly escaped on their motorbikes leaving the pair helpless.

She described how the three men pushed her and her 16-year-old niece Somayeh onto the ground and tried to rape them, and said that she took out a knife from her pocket and stabbed one of the men in the hand.

As the girls tried to escape, the men once again attacked them, and at this point, Nazanin said, she stabbed one of the men in the chest. The teenage girl, however, broke down in tears in court as she explained that she had no intention of killing the man but was merely defending herself and her younger niece from rape, the report said.

The court, however, issued on Tuesday a sentence for Nazanin to be hanged to death.

Last week, a court in the city of Rasht, northern Iran, sentenced Delara Darabi to death by hanging charged with murder when she was 17 years old. Darabi has denied the charges.

In August 2004, Iran’s Islamic penal system sentenced a 16-year-old girl, Atefeh Rajabi, to death after a sham trial, in which she was accused of committing “acts incompatible with chastity”.

The teenage victim had no access to a lawyer at any stage and efforts by her family to retain one were to no avail. Atefeh personally defended herself and told the religious judge that he should punish those who force women into adultery, not the victims. She was eventually hanged in public in the northern town of Neka.

I really don't know why we ever abandoned the idea of "f*ck the rest of the world, we're America, we don't fight wars outside of our own soil." It worked really well for a long time.

Wow that's fucking retarded. I feel so bad for her. If that ever happened to me, i'd just try to run away and kill them all, then go to America.

and the lack of money and transportation to do that Eva? That is a really unthoughtout and spoiled attitude.

My questions are...

a) how accurate is the newpaper article? chances are its very close to the truth... but you never know. circumstances could have been very different and skewed to gain support from America and other western countries.

b) how is it that there are still such backwards countries, completely skewing the ideals of their religion to persecute others. and its not just in the middle east.

c) is there anything that can be done about it from American influence? my gut says no... these fanatics are so self-righteous and close-minded that they would never consider changing their ways. Girl murders guy... GIRL MUST DIE! Guy rapes girl... GUY IS SEX SYMBOL! Circumstances don't matter at all. its a shame.

Only to have your request for citizenship turned down because you are a dirty Arab.

Iran is really f*cked up. One of my mom's friends was imprisoned in Iran. She later escaped Iran, pregnant, and came to America by sneaking in through the Canadian border by hiding out in some lady's trunk.

Why did you have to put middle east =(

Laharl 02-13-2006 11:28 AM

So you either kill a guy in self defense and get put to death, or let them rape you and get put to death for "acts incompatible with chastity" is it?

Sounds like a real winning law system to me.

It's too bad we never know if we can believe this stuff. Anything published by newspapers, magazines, whatever; it can be distorted just enough to cause an intended reaction. I have to question whether or not this is the entire story. --;

If I controlled the world, I'd ban sex unless the government approves it between random couples in order to prolong humanity. And citizens should be able to choose not to participate. But for fun, no.

Tasselfoot 02-19-2006 08:03 PM

and this is why you don't control the world.

:)

msbrunnettemickey 02-20-2006 09:15 AM

Why would you ban sex? The people population can't become bigger without it.

And in other cases... *cough Tassel case*

I'm all for rampant orgies and smothering my face in the chests of ample breasted women.

I miss the 70s.

Dick_Cheney 02-20-2006 11:02 AM

I'm all for this plan, make this man President!

Andrew_Jackson 02-20-2006 11:07 AM

Yeah, but you also hunt lawers on your spare time, so I don't think you're really suited to make decisions.

Hilary_Clinton 02-20-2006 12:50 PM

Pray tell... what is a lawer?
