Iran court releases killer of unfaithful wife
2004-08-23
Oh Gentle.....
Hat tip to Dhimmiwatch
who tips, in turn, Allah in the house
Iran's judiciary ordered a man to be released after he killed his unfaithful wife in the courtroom, because the woman's immediate forebears are not alive to claim retaliation, press reports said Thursday.
Oh. Well. That explains it.
According to the newspaper Shargh, the man, identified as Mahmoud, had filed a complaint against his wife and her lover when he had found out that she was cheating on him. When she appeared in court in Shahr Ray city in Tehran province in 2003 he lost control and stabbed her to death. But a court sentenced him Wednesday only to pay compensatory "blood money" to the "parents of the blood", who are in fact himself and their three children, because the parents of the murdered woman, Fatemeh, 29, are dead, Iran newspaper said.
That's logic, Islamist-style...
The court followed an order by the head of Iran's hardline judiciary, Ayatollah Mahmoud Hashemi Shahroudi. The children would have lost their only breadwinner if the murderer had been put in jail, Iran. The woman's lover, charged with illegitimate relations, was sentenced to be lashed and the verdict will be executed soon, Shargh said. "I asked the court for the ultimate punishment for her. But I thought they would not punish her," Shargh quoted the husband as saying, "so I left the court building, hid a knife in my clothes to escape the body search at the court entrance, then I stabbed her in the courtroom in presence of the court staff."

#6  Somehow I don't a woman would go free if she killed her husband in front of the court for marital infidelity, parents dead or not. She could claim he had a smart mouth, since that seems enough to justify murder in Iran.

#1  What a bitch!

He didn't lose control - he premeditated the murder by going home to get a knife and concealing it from the obviously lax inspection and executed her. They let him off per Shari'an "Law". End of story.

I recognize that one crime or one court decision doesn't and shouldn't condemn an entire society. But Islam is the motherphreakin' exception for all time. And we only see the tip of the 'berg.

It is beyond the pale... And very swiftly, given the lethality of weapons today and the frantic efforts by Islamists to acquire them, becoming an ideology beyond redemption.

This is where the rubber meets the road. Who will lead us to fight this foe? Bush or Kerry? It's intuitively obvious to the casual observer that Bush can and will.

Will Kerry? Proof that he's anything but a socialist and multiculti appeaser? Proof that he's got ANY balls left? Proof that he even gets it?

None.
