I never thought I’d be defending Sharia and Iran

Well here is a first.

Me .... jdp ... Peiper ... I’m upset that Iran is caving in to foreign influence. Me? Defend Iran and Sharia Law?

YES ...  And here’s why. First, if amnasty is against something I have to be for it, selectively. If liberal weepy eyed bed wetting hand wringers are upset, I have to be in favor of whatever it is they’re hearts are bleeding about.

Take a look at this story .... I’m tempted to write the Iranian Embassy and tell em to stay the course and ignore the critics. But I doubt they’d pay any attention.

Fury at Iran’s ‘eye-for-an-eye’ acid punishment as sentence is branded ‘cruel and inhumane’

By MAIL ON SUNDAY REPORTER

A punishment in which an Iranian man was to be blinded by having acid dropped into his eyes has been postponed after international condemnation.
Majid Movahedi was convicted and sentenced for pouring a bucket of acid over Ameneh Bahrami after she rejected his marriage proposals.
The attack left her blind and severely disfigured.

The court-ordered retribution was due to have been carried out yesterday in Tehran.

But it is understood the authorities in the Iranian capital decided to postpone the punishment, which is allowed under Sharia law if the victim requests it, because of national and international disquiet including concerns raised by the British Government.

Yesterday Ms Bahrami told Al Jazeera, the Qatar-based news service: ‘I was very happy that this was going to end today.
‘And yes, I was going to carry out the punishment myself, but I was afraid that I would get acid on my hands, so a doctor was going to do it. It’s been six years that I’ve been waiting. The verdict is completely legal.’

On November 3, 2004, Movahedi poured a bucket of acid on Ms Bahrami’s head as she was leaving work, after she had rejected his marriage proposal several times.
Two weeks after the attack Movahedi surrendered himself to the police.
He admitted attacking Ms Bahrami and his punishment was ordered by a court in 2008.

Among those unhappy about the prospect of Ms Bahrami exacting such a brutal revenge on her attacker was Amnesty International.
The organisation called for a stay of the sentence, which it described as ‘cruel and inhuman . . . amounting to torture’.
‘The Iranian authorities have a responsibility under international law to ensure it does not go ahead,’ it added.

Ms Bahrami, who was 24 when she met Movahedi in 2002, now lives in Spain where she has been undergoing medical treatment. She is blind in both eyes and still has serious injuries to her face and body.

I JUST CAN NOT BRING MYSELF TO POST THE HORRIFIC PHOTO HERE AT BMEWS. CLICK THIS LINK TO UNDERSTAND

WTF is wrong with people? Why is this the freekin business of the Brit govt., who can’t even protect their own god damn citizens here at home?
And as for amnasty ... well. I believe you all know what I think and what I’d dearly love to see happen.

Quite frankly ... I do not believe that how a govt. handles their internal problems is anyones business outside the country involved. So long as their problem doesn’t inflict harm or is a threat to the security of others, it is not the business of others to stick their nose where it does not belong.
I can’t be pissed off at foreigners and amnasty when they insist we close Guantanamo, and at the same time approve we do the same to others.
The miserable shit in this story deserves the worst and his punishment should go ahead as planned.  I’m disappointed in Iran, and never thought I’d be writing anything on their behalf. Not that they asked.  But I feel sorry for the woman here, and that’s my focus.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
