#1 1) condemned to death
2) banned from teaching for 10 years
3) exiled for eight years
4) sentenced to 74 lashes

In that order?

#3 What's fascinating to me is that a provincial court trumps their Supreme Court!!?!?

Not very Supreme, are they?

I can picture the Mad Mullahs ordering him exhumed to make it an even 100...

#4 He was condemned to death, banned from teaching for 10 years, exiled for eight years to three remote cities, and sentenced to 74 lashes.

Hmmm Leme-see

Do they move his body around to those remote cities after they kill him? Then after 8 years, when he is a skeleton they whip him? Then they allow the mass of broken bones to teach two years later. They have a lot more hope in raising the dead on command than I thought.

A traveling decomposing body in three places over a period of 8 years. And. if the locals complain about any odor, they may get the same because they are critical of the clergy?

The Iranian clerics have it pretty godd. They should be able to blow off and ignore criticism because the punishments they mete out are so "inventive"

#5 I'm surprised they aren't going to lash the malcontent to a car bumper and drag him through the streets of Tehran. Let the children see the cost of free thought.

#6 "... a death sentence Monday against a university professor who criticized clerical rule..."

Sharia - coming to a country near you.

Why we fight.
