Don't bring Stalin up as he wasn't an atheist. He was against religion because he read it would be bad for communism and agreed. He was neither raised an atheist not became one because he stopped believing in theistic views. He did everything he did for expediency of what he truly believed which was communism. Again, he didn't kill for atheistic reasons as if he hated theism. He killed for communism. Quite a different motivation there.

Not to mention that his highest schooling was the theological seminary... :p

I am talking about the post above yours, which explained things, that you either refused to read or were incapable of understanding when you posted your inane reply.

Threads are chronologically presented for a reason. When the thread is only a few posts long, it is shameful to not read the entire thread before posting. In your case, it would have prevented you from posting something stupid and being made fun of for it.

No, dumbass, my post #11 was completely accurate.

Your post #4 ("he knew the law and its punishment when he decided to break the law") was the beginning of your departure from reality, and your post #6 ("No mention of Canada was in the OP") just reinforced that you STILL didn't get it, even after you were led - by AnitaPetersen's post #5 - to READ about what Malekpour actually did.

And now your post #48 shows you STILL don't get it. Wow. Here, let me make it clear to you:

It's irrelevant whether Malekpour was in Canada when his actions took place since he did nothing illegal even under Iranian law. He was tortured and then fooled into making a FALSE confession.

Your post #4 was wrong. Your post #6 was wrong. You are an imbecile.

I'll make an analogy. Someone invents a flying car. He goes to another country and is arrested because someone else used it to commit a crime. That ain't right.

We're actually back on topic. Thanks.

Yes, I agree. Totally. And the behavior of the Iranian authorities in this matter is so extreme, so irrational, that it makes you wonder what they can possibly be thinking. It defies belief.

Its their country.

And their law.

If you go to Iran and insult Islam or the Prophet Muhammed [Peace be upon him - As the Iranians would say] you will be sentenced to die. Thats just the law in Iran fellas...Their laws are made readily available to anyone who travels there. Even Bibles are confiscated once landing there.

did you even fucking read the OP?

here's some cliffs:

man lives in Canada.
man makes software for uploading pictures to websites.
pornsite use that software, without his knowledge.
man goes to Iran to visit his dying farther.
Iranians arrests man for "insulting and desecrating Islam".
Iranians torture a confession out of him and forces him to confess to something technically impossible.
Iranians don't give him a fair trial.
Iranians sentence him to death.

take your apologetic bullshit somewhere else.

I read the story, and this seems especially outrageous, despite Iran's already outrageous actions along these lines against gays, dissidents, and so on.

Just a speculation on the 'why' Shira asks about - perhaps it has something to do with wanting to execute a western technical person in retaliation for nuclear assassinations.

It's the same issue as when police might arrest the wrong guy under pressure after a bad crime, or a country might 'round people up' after terrorism, and so on.

The fact the west finds this injustice, this state murder, outrageous might make it even more attractive if that's their motive, to strike back over the nuclear killings.

That would be the equivalent of our people who say 'put bacon on the Muslims after you kill them!', offending people for the sake of offending them - delighting in our anger.

What a tragedy when the back and forth killings start.

It'd be one thing if he went to Iran and started a porn company. That's when you get into 'their culture, their laws', even if we disagree (now, anyway). This isn't that.
