In Iran, Blogging May Be Punishable By Death
An anonymous reader writes "In Iran, crimes such as apostasy (leaving a religion, in this case Islam) and armed robbery are already punishable by death, but a new bill in Iran aims to add to the list 'establishing weblogs and sites promoting corruption, prostitution and apostasy,' effectively giving the government a free hand in silencing bloggers. The internet is widely used in Iran, despite its previous attempts at censorship. Will this change as the censorship grows more rampant?"
Since anything is punishable by death in Iran.
Try reading a copy of the koran that hasn't been whitewashed for western consumption. By their own words, he was a murder, rapist, and pedophile. One of his wives (by force) was 8 years old when the marriage was consummated.
