Iran: Man Shot Dead for Breaking Ramadan Rules |
2005-10-17 |
![]() Iranian police have been accused of shooting and killing a motorist after he failed to stop when spotted eating during the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan, a press report said. The victim, identified as 22-year-old Seyed Mostafa, was shot dead in Tehran on Saturday. He was also playing loud music with his car stereo, the government Iran newspaper said. "Even if the police claim is right, is eating during the fasting month punishable by death?" the victim's brother was quoted as saying. The report did not say if the family would press charges against the police, who have been actively enforcing a dawn to dusk Ramadan ban on public eating, drinking and smoking as well as a wider campaign to crack down on "lawless elements". |

#3 He was also playing loud music with his car stereo All fun. But I'll bet it was the Miller Lite in the crotch holder that got him bumped off. |

#2 God pisses on coerced piety. Go to Vegas and remain pure against temptation and God will know you are pure. Either that or the Islamic grip on Iran is week and the Mullahs know it. |
