Distinguishing Moslems From Monkeys No Longer Punishable by Death
2004-06-01
From IranMania
Iran’s Supreme Court has quashed a death sentence for blasphemy against dissident intellectual Hashem Aghajari, .... Aghajari, a history professor at Tehran University and a disabled war veteran, was convicted of blasphemy by a judge in the western city of Hamedan in November 2002 for calling for a reformation in Iran’s state Shiite Muslim religion. He had said in a speech there that Muslims were not "monkeys" and "should not blindly follow" religious leaders ....

#13  The difference between a catfish and a lawyer?
One's a bottom-dwelling scum-sucker, and the other's a fish.

Same same, Quana?

#11  ed and BigEd:

Linking? Who said anything about linking? Linking and image sourcing are two completely different things.

BigEd, my understanding is that it is still bandwidth theft if you are sourcing the image from a server that isn't yours (for instance, the Hanover Zoo server or the foxnews.com server) regardless of 'credit'. And no, ed, if someone hosts the image on their own server and calls the image from there, that's not bandwidth theft. I believe that, however, is not what is happening with these two images.

Just thought you'd like to know.

#10  BigEd---You've got your sources mixed up. Heh heh.

#9  I have been remiss, but as I under stand the rule, as long as you credit the source, you should be OK. So, Sadr is from Fox News, and the gibbon is from the Hannover, Germany zoo.

#8  Earlier Mark stated he had some photos he wanted to post but did not know how. So if they are his images placed on his ISP (or free web space), is it bandwidth theft?

More generally, when we link to images (e.g AP photos) or sound files, instead of the the parent html page, is that also bandwidth theft?

#7  Well, at least the defimation of monkeys has been cleared up.

A lot of monkeys were really depressed. They seem much happier now.

#5  I'm not clear on this, but isn't linking to images on other sites called "bandwidth theft"?

I'm just guessing, of course.

#3  Ed, how can photos be posted in here? If you could outline step by step? Thanks in advance.

The monkey looks handsome, in relation to the one with the used diaper on his head.
