#2 I'm not sure that preaching Christianity in a place known as an Islamic Republic is such a good career move.

#4 its actually a good idea. come on, if they were proven guilty in florida they would suffer the same fate, only 7-20 years after being found guilty. there are christians in florida, and for that matter all across the U.S., that are being executed. we dont bat an eye because it is, for the most part,a christian society. It upsets us because we distrust their legal system and values. we dont trust that they were tried to our standards and morals. Yes, they actively pursue and persecute gays. its appalling. but, we in america look the other way when someone interprets the bible and finds a need to persecute gays here. we cannot be hypocrites. most of us want harder punishment for criminals, it shouldnt be a vacation. we should not forget, prison is not just for punishment...the promise of prison/punishment should deter the crime. its obvious the system does not work here. maybe it doesn't work there but let he without sin cast the first stone. lets fix our problems first and screw them. we cant control what they do. if the people there don't like the system they are ultimately free to leave.

#5 You complain about Islamic people killing Christians for shallow reasons - need I remind you of the Crusades? The Christian religion has just as much blood on its hands; it may not go about it with swords and shield these days, but that blood hasn't gotten any thinner.

You guys need to wake up and realize that some all-powerful being isn't going to save our planet. The only thing capable of that is the human race itself.

#6 The Christian religion has just as much blood on its hands; it may not go about it with swords and shield these days, but that blood hasn't gotten any thinner.

So basically, Jon, you're saying that Christians ought to be able to kill Muslims with impunity as some members of their religion did it a bit in the past? I think you're a bit bloodthirsty, but you're entitled to your opinions.

#8 The Crusades? Let this impact on your brain: there were NO speakers of Arabic in Byzantine Palestine and Syria until the Muslim horde commenced its savage conquest in 634 AD. Arabs imposed sovereignty and either coerced or forced conversions to their murder cult. Christians attempted to recover lands under Arab occupation, during the Crusades. The Old Testament and Assyrian documents reveal the Semites didn't begin living in the Levant until the Hebrew and Assyrian drifts from what is now Iraq. Palestine and its environs is properly a holding of Judaeo-Christian sovereignty. Arab Muslims are occupiers. I am with the Kahanists in pushing them back to their aggression bases. Of course, one in six Israeli Arabic speakers (they are not true arabs) is a Christian.

#9 guido dear, the Mullahcracy of Iran actively prosecute homosexuals, whether male or female, heterosexuals who have relations of any sort outside of marriage, Shiite Muslims who are not devout enough, Muslims who are not Shiites, Baha'i, Christians, Jews, and women who show their ankles or object to being raped. One could say they are equal opportunity killers, and most of those they execute are guilty of things not considered crimes in the Western world. Here in the West there certainly is discrimination on a personal level, but such behaviour is illegal and prosecuted as such. Nor do Western governments kill off those arrested for "having illegal relationships and showing up drunk in public," of which several of those being hung in Iran have been convicted, according to the article above.

As for you, Jon, on the one hand you advocate vigorous self-defence now, on the other chastise the Christians of 1,000 C.E. (or A.D. if you are prefer the Christo-centric form) for fighting back against Muslim invaders who galloped out of Arabia to conquer the world in the name of their new god, giving the peaceful Christian and Jewish inhabitants the choice of forced conversion, slavery or death. Please do try to find some sort of consistency: if it's a good idea for us to fight the Muslims who wish to conquer us now in the name of their religion, why was it such a bad idea then, when the Muslim invaders were in the habit of killing entire cities down to the last babe in arms for clinging to their own faith?

#10 I have to believe there's 126 people in Iran worth executing. I'm not certain they've got the right 126, but I can't prove not.

#11 You complain about Islamic people killing Christians for shallow reasons - need I remind you of the Crusades?

From the "Manual of the liberal friend of dictators and genociders" thirtieth edition aka Michael Moore edition (first one, Berlin 1933, aka Goebbels edition) chapter 10, page 324. "The straw and beam technique": "The straw and beam technique" When someone is telling about a major crime our side has pêrpetrated scream like a banshee about something wrong the other side has done including when it was comparatively minor and happenned in times of Neandetal. This way you divert attention of the aqudidnece an, except for the cleverest and experienced opponents, the other guy will go on the defensive"

Mr Guido, illustrates this technique for us, notice that he uses something who happenned
some one thoussand years ago to divert our attention from crilmes perpetrated npw and
thet he conveniently ignores that unlike in Islam where the muders and genocides perpetreted by Muhammd himself are nowadays set as an example to follow, nobody in Christanty vindiactes Simon de Montfort (the guy who told "Kill them all, God will recognize his own").

A,nd for the crusades so waht? After four centuries of continuous agressions by Islam, countless invasions, genocides, horrendous masscres (the invaders paraded in Cesarea with eth guts of their victims), enslavings, rapes (The Arab chronicler tells that thirty thousand
women of great beauthy were enslaved during the invasion of Spain. Beuaty is irrelevant for cleaning dishes). Christains decided that enough was enough and decided to strike back a right that Mr Guido and his islamo-nazi friends deny them.

And for the bloody capture of Jerusalem in first crusade this was the rule when a city was taken by storm: since these was very costly to the attacker it was intented to dissuade other cities of resisting. Muslims did exactly the same thing to other Muslims. Cf what happened to the Turkish garison of Jerusalem when it was captued by Egiptians only one year before. In this case it was only the citadel who rsisted so the atrocities were confined to the citadel). We could also tell
of teh one hundred million Hindus killed.

And while we are it, we havde our liberel unbeliever sêka of the blood in Christain hands. Let spake about the bloood in atrheitic hands from the Vendean genocide during French revolution to the killing fields in Cambodia (ncver fororgibe, bnever forget that it was the Jane Fonda and John Kerry crowd who amde them possible without forgetting Auschwitz or the Gulag.

#12 Jon, read TW's reply at least twice.

Crusades, though, was a mere series of skirmishes, compared to Islamic expansion into Indian subcontinent, mainly between 1300 and 1500. According to tally of Islamic documents themselves, the slaughter list totalled over 80,000,000 souls. In terms of current population figures, that would roughly translate to 700 million. Whole regions got virtually depopulated for a century. One of the documents brags about a slaughter of 100,000 Hindus in one day.

#14 Christianity is spread by 'witness' and persuasion (where the convert chooses of his/her own free will) - attempts to spread it 'by the sword' usually fail. Its simply against the main tenants of the faith which is love and the 'witness' or 'example' of the faith. Prime Example: Jesus Christ who died (horribly I might add) for his faith.

Islam on the other had is spread mostly by the sword, or more recently in Europe, birthrate. Any 'persuasion' is a far, far, second. "Convert, pay a huge tax (in humiliation), or die" is not a free choice. This is in accordance with its main tenant - which is war, death, and the killing of the unbelievers. Primary Example: Mohammad who murdered, enslaved, and raped others for his faith (not to mention his Pedophillia). Even the belivers of Islam are enslaved - when to leave Islam is often a death sentence.

#15 Bringing up the Crusades everytime some moslem country decides to execute a Christian missionary is just "liberal guilt" plan and simple.

Everyone talks about what the Crusaders did in Jerusalem about EIGHT HUNDRED YEARS AGO. But no one mentions the mass slaughter of the crusaders' families, church clerics and various camp followers after Jerusalem fell and they were offered safe passage to the sea.

There was plenty of blood on the hands of both sides in that ANCIENT MISGUIDED tragic series of conflicts HOWEVER nothing of that justifies executing someone purely on the basis of his faith NOW.

This liberal guilt crap is tedious and tiresome. It is intellectually lazy and sophmoric.

Our guards in Guantanamo can't look crosseyed at the Quram without some ACLU nincompoop wanting to scream war crimes but when an innocent CHRISTIAN is executed for speaking of his faith in Iran, they work overtime to try to justify this crap because they, the liberal left, are basically anti-Christian.

To the Islamofascists of the world, these impotent little sniveling weinie guilt ridden liberals are just "Useful idiots".

Just remember all you liberal guilt types out there, the Islamofascist, Jihadists will hack off your head for a video opportunity in a heart beat. You are not immune to their brutality just because you happen to "sympathize" with them.

Excuse me while I go throw up, I get this urge to vomit everytime someone trots out the Crusades as a justification for murder and terrorism.

#20 They using strangulation via rope, or drop hanging? Probably the former, they put the rope around the neck, and the raise them up via a crane, where they slowly strangle to death.

I guess they havent caught up to the 1880's (standard drop[ or long drop) methods in the west.

Jon, You guys?! many of us here have been trying to get the obamessiah followers to wake up.

Maybe Iran can have this entertainment when BO visits, if God forbid he's elected.
