Why is this child being punished ??? His arms were crushed!!!!!!!!!!

[Aimster]

There is no good evidence?

I didn't read the link you posted because it is leaving out crap. I didn't even read that entire reply you just wrote.. but...

Instead I typed her name in google and I read amnesty international's report which said she was a child offender and that is why she was killed.

Even when searching that link for her name it says this

"The execution of Ateqeh Rajabi is the tenth execution of a child offender in Iran recorded by Amnesty International since 1990. Amnesty International has urged Iran?s judicial authorities to halt further executions of child offenders - people who were under 18 years old at the time of the offence."

She abused a child.

Get over it.

& nobody here is defending the Iranian regime.
I am not even Muslim so get a clue.

Islam is a pox on the world. There will never be peace, freedom, or decency where Islam is a living religion. It must be relegated to the history books for our human race to survive, in my opinion.

Christianity is just as bad, of course. (Well, no, that's not true - Islam is at present time inflicting far more damage on far more people, than is christianity. So yeah, Islam is definitely 'worse' than christianity - but not by much).

As for Iranians in general, I feel about them the way I feel about people in general.

Um, are you for real?

There is NOTHING in that link (or the amnesty international article) indicating she was even SUSPECTED of abusing a child. She was not CHARGED with abusing a child. There is no mention of her ever having abused a child in ANY media article I have read on her.

What is wrong with you?

What evidence do you have that girl abused another child? Frankly, I have never heard of this allegation of child abuse before. It wasn't mentioned in any of the dozens of articles I have read on the execution of that girl. What is known is that she was mentally incompetent - mentally ill - and the time of execution. It is also known that she was 16 years old.

I suspect you are lying. I think you have made up this allegation of child abuse, simply because you think that is a quick, easy way to sully the repuation of someone who is now DEAD - and therefore doesn't have a chance to defend herself. If this is true - if you are DELIBERATELY LYING about this girl, accusing her of being a child molester because you believe that no-one will have any sympathy for her if they think she is a child molester (i.e., because you think this will be a quick, efficient method of destroying her reputation and eliminating any chance people in the West might have synpathy for her) - then you are an even more despicable piece of trash than I already suspected.

I can only hope the above is not the case, and that your slanderous comments about this brave young girl - executed under the Sharia law you so dearly love - represent an "honest" error on your part.

 

[Aimster]

1) Islam is an Arab religion. It was created by Arabs and spread by Arabs. Arabs invaded Iran and forced everyone to believe in Islam. You hate Islam but defend the people who created it? The people who believe in it? Make up your mind.

2) I have defended Arabs on this board many times. If you really think I hate Arabs and wish them death then get a clue. Go read some of the Palestinian -Israeli threads where I have commented on. My comments are no different than someone Saying U.S > France. Get a clue.

3) Iran supports the Arabs more than the Arabs support themselves. The number one supporter of Palestine = Iran. The number one supporter of Hezbollah = Iran - THEY CREATED IT. The other Arab nations are U.S puppets and don't care about the Palestinians. They just use the situation to talk about something at night on their media. Palestinians have always been slaves and will continue to be slaves. They were slaves to the Arabs! They are slaves to the Jews! Nobody cares about them except the Iranian govt.

EVEN THE ARTICLE YOU POSTED HAS THE AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL QUOTE IN IT.

Read the Amnesty International report. She clearly abused a child.

 

[RaDragon]

Right. Back to the thread.

That stuff's in Farsi. I can read a bit of Arabic, but I don't speak Farsi.

You don't have to be a rocket scientist however, to determine that those pictures don't show the child being punished. Looks more like an Iranian version of "Ripley's Believe It or Not"...

In the context of anmesty international's report, "child offender" = a child accused of committing any kind of crime.

Probably to visit their families that are still in the hell hole.

You don't know squat about Iran.

Iran is a hell hole because it is essentially ruled by a religious theocracy. Iran is a horrible country at this point in time, filled with barbaric acts and other nonsense that is worse than any non hell hole country.

So why do you defend Arabs when this just goes to show you that the Arab influence in Iran is killing people for stupid reasons?

Iranians are not Arabs. They are Persian and speak Farsi (the language is not why they are not Arab). It's like calling a Japanese person Chinese. They are totally different people with two different cultures.

People from Turkey are not Arab either as well as the people from Afghanistan. They are each different things.

Arab nations are pretty much all of the M.E and most of Northern Africa.

Thank you for clearing that up. Seriously, they ought to make every gradeschool and highschool learn this. Its really horrible how much our education system screws it up.

Must be the same people that are herded by the media to feel a certain way about things in the United States, when, as you stated, despicable acts like this happen here just as often.
:thumbsdown: to sheeple...

would you have expected anything else, though

Iran is a dreadful place. Populated by barbaric people who see no problem in killing or torturing children. Aimster is an apologist for the islamo-facist Iranian regime.

[NSFW - disturbing image of girl, hung] Girl, 16, hung in Iran for "unchaste" behaviours

have you ever been to iran? no... you haven't. if you have, you'd know that it's not a dreadful place at all. it's a place where 85% of the population has a 180 degree mindest that of the government which rules them. it's full of extremely kind and friendly people who will go out of their way to make you comfortable and happy.

unless you've ever been to iran, don't talk about it like you have... especially if you're gonna blast it with the same kind of counter-productive b.s. you just did.

LOL - the 'don't criticize it if you haven't been there' argument! HAHAHAHAHA!

I hope you follow your own logic - but you probably don't.

Iran is a hell hole. You don't even have to visit it to realize it's a horrible country.

i wonder if everyone else in your trailer park feels the same way

You care too much about Iran and the Iranian government

Pick one.

A) You are an Israeli/Jew - You fail to realize 20% of the Jews in the U.S are actually Iranian. Ever been to California? A large portion of Israel is actually Iranian.

and yes, sites like http://www.memritv.org/Search.asp?ACT=S6 just show what is going on in places like iran. Goebbels would be overjoyed at a sight like that. so stop with the moral equivalence people.
B) An Arab who hates Persians. Persians > Arabs in every way. That's all there is to it.

C) Your Iranian girlfriend broke up with you. Don't cry it's just your face.

Nobody here is defending the Iranian government, not even the Iranians on this board.

You are just a troll.

The Iranian government does not represent the Iranian people. That is common sense. The leaders are not elected to power.

You dont even know what you are argueing. I don't see anyone defending the Iranian regime. You are just an idiot. Go to school and get an education. Common sense is lacking with you.

wow just wow, you wouldn't know a valid arguement if it ran you over. you ARE and have been in effect defending the regiem and everything it stands for, not just "its people".

and yea that site http://www.memritv.org/Search.asp?ACT=S6 just shows whats really going on in iran and the rest of the middle east. how they indoctrinate their children with hate from day one. Goebbels would be proud.

and millionaires live luxurious lives anywhere. even in saudi arabia. a "hell hole" if there was ever one. its never hell for everyone, its gotta be nice enough for some to keep the system around. its the way it always works.

you don't know anything about iran... why even talk?

By the way these photos are all over Iranian webistes for the purpose of making the world hate Iran so the U.S can invade and takeover. Propaganda.

/end thread

Um, no, it's not the end of the thread.

Even assuming what we are seeing is "street performance" there can be no doubt that the child is not a happy, willing participate. That is clear in this "after" photos:

Text

Apparently the kids arm isn't broken. He doesn't look too happy, tho.

If this is 'street performace' then it is child exploitation of a particularly venal & disgusting kind.

One wonders what kind of a society must Iran be to tolerate this barbarity..

i'm getting my doctorate... i see no broken arm or any signs of a fracture, so how could you?

I said: "apparently the kid's arm ISN'T broken.."

It seems you are so riled up and angry that you have lost the ability to read, interpret a simple English sentence.

Is English your native language by the way? You do seem very emotionally affected by this topic. I wonder why.

And for some reason you continue to (deliberately?) miss the broader point. It DOESN'T MATTER whether this child is being punished or whether he is being forced into some kind of barbaric street performance. Either way, you have a situation of child exploitation and child cruelty. The obvious question is: what became of that individual child? Is he safe and well? Is he still being forced to participate in such a barbaric ritual? The broader question is: what kind of a society and culture must exist in Iran, to tolerate such barbarity?
