| Iran to hang teenage girl attacked by rapists |
| 2006-01-09 |
| I just love how the "progressives" stood up for Tookie, but don't give a damn about theses girls repeatedly being hanged for the crime of being part of the enslaved half of the ummah... Iran Focus Tehran, Iran, Jan. 07 â 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 girlsâ 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, Iranâs Islamic penal system sentenced a 16-year-old girl, Atefeh Rajabi, to death after a sham trial, in which she was accused of committing âacts incompatible with chastityâ. 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. |

| #20 Aris, are you planning on contributing to the discussions this week, or contenting yourself with being the resident scold? |

| #19 Good grief, Aris, have you gone off your meds? Last week you were so civil I found myself actually agreeing with you from time to time. But today you seem to be Arisifying threads at every turn. |

| #18 "Aris, perhaps it would be easier for you to grasp the nuance if you were French." But since I'm not French, this sounds only like evasion to me. |

| #17 Aris, 2b had no 'strawman' arguement. See below: straw man n. An argument or opponent set up so as to be easily refuted or defeated. He specically made his opinions of the left known, but didn't create a straw man "http://www.fallacyfiles.org/strawman.html" "The Straw Man is a type of Red Herring because the arguer is attempting to refute his opponent's position, and in the context is required to do so, but instead attacks a positionâthe "straw man"ânot held by his opponent." In trying to attack the left, 2b attacked the positions that weren't held by the actual left, but instead he attacked CF's opinions. That seemed to me pretty much the definition of a strawman attack. |

| #15 "the two girlsâ boyfriends quickly escaped on their motorbikes leaving the pair helpless." Brave boys are they not? Cowards each and everyone. Of course what does one expect from the descendants of pedofiles? The more I read about the goat lovers the more I am sure.... I need to buy more ammo. |

| #13 One is obliged to wonder what will happen when over half this world's population finally wakes up and realizes that global sharia law would mean their unending abuse and degradation. We need to send Lorena Bobbit on a lecture tour in Arabia. |

| #12 So now the left is reduced to complaining that Bush is trying to give democracy to "those pigs". 2b, can you explain to me why the bleeding hell you think that CF is a leftist? Seems to me that CF's comments reflect things that the most right-wing Rantburgers have repeated in the past -- things like suggesting either the forced conversion of Muslims or genocidal extermination, things like that Muslim culture doesn't allow democratization, etc, etc. But hey, 2b, construct whatever strawman you like. Now you are claiming that CF is a leftist -- but you can claim that the Sun is green for all the sense you make. |

| #11 CF says: Each and every Muslim male is under absolute koranic ordenance to treat the testimony of a women as half that of men. And Condi works for democraticization of those pigs. I'm sure they love her dhimmism. It never ceases to amaze me how much lower the hate Bush crowd can sink. So now the left is reduced to complaining that Bush is trying to give democracy to "those pigs". How progressive, multicultural and refined. It's a clever try, CF, on a thread of this emotional magnitude. It's ineffective, but clever in a blinded-by-hate sort of way. |

| #9 This place is just amazing. If anyone tells me Islam is a peace love religion I will puke! I have no mercy for this country. We should really concider moving Isreal out of the area and just sending in the B-52s every time we see movement. |

| #8 Western city planners are to blame. Seperate sidewalks for the sexes will end this sort of thing. |

| #7 "Each and every Muslim male is under absolute koranic ordenance to treat the testimony of a women as half that of men. And Condi works for democraticization of those pigs. I'm sure they love her dhimmism." Translation: It's Bush's fault. And probably Halliburton's, too. Fart. |

| #6 Hmmm. Should we compare what Dr Rice has done for America and lay it beside the selfless accomplishments of NaziFartus and compare? I'm just askin, since he feels free to slander her as she simply does what a SecState is supposed to do - not to mention being wildly off-topic in his reckless spew convulsion. Le petite mal? |
