Web Developer Sentenced To Death In Iran
An anonymous reader points out the case of Saeed Malekpour, an Iranian-born permanent resident of Canada who worked as a web developer. In 2008, during a visit to Iran, Malekpour was arrested and detained by Iranian authorities on charges that he designed and moderated "adult content websites." In 2009, he was sentenced to death for "acting against the national security, insulting and desecrating the principles of Islam, and agitating the public mind." Malekpour wrote photo-uploading software, and in a letter he sent from prison, he said it was used by porn sites without his knowledge. This week an Iranian court reviewed the case and confirmed that the death sentence was an acceptable punishment. According to one Canadian publication, "Human rights monitors believe that Malekpour, one of a number of people held on Internet-related charges, is trapped by a convoluted justice system that is manipulated by rival factions in Iran."
This is what happens when any country is run by Muslims. We see it in Iran, Pakistan, Iraq, etc. These countries really are better off under dictators rather than leading themselves, compare Saudi Arabia to Somalia. We will see a lot more of this in the "Arab Spring" countries. I expect to be modded down by the PC crowd with their "all belief systems are equal" and "a Theocracy can be just as good as secular democracy (as long as it isn't Christian)" comments but they are just ignoring what actually happens whenever Muslims get into power. Surprise surprise they follow the teaching of Islam - from a demented warlord with a taste for little girls.
Oh look! /. is jumping onto the anti-Iran media bandwagon. Fancy that!
I never would have expected such blatantly obvious media manipulation from such an independent website.
What's the punctuation mark for bad sarcasm called?
So your point, insofar as one exists in that jumbled mess of arbitrary thoughts, is that because he has a secret drug addiction (to which you are privy) it is all right for the state to have him executed?
You seem to say this isn't the case ... do you hate islam ? If your answer is "no", why do you bother with arguing at all ?
I ask because this is the choice that freedom of religion is being abused to force. As is plain here, but also in other cases, including some inside the US, freedom of religion is being used as justification for convicting people according to this law system called "islam". (well, I should say freedom of religion is being used as a thin veneer. Threat of direct personal violence is really what's behind it).
My point is that in a matter of half a decade to maybe one and a half decade, this violence will reach the point where freedom of religion dies. And there will be a choice to be made.
What they're taking offence with is that this religious war that's being forced by muslims on everyone around the world. You seem to be pushing the same idea. These people take offence that their freedom is being destroyed by muslims, that they are automatically considered enemies, for a variety of reasons. They see that the violence level is slowly expanding to the point where you're taking away their choice to live in peace. Your reasons are moronic with them being Americans, atheists or christians (or traitor muslims), and that the violence level is increasing.
Most of all, they take offence with the obvious future that is being threatened by muslims all around the web and in so many places all around us : that it is a matter of time until the violence escalates to the level where everyone will be forced to defend themselves against these muslim animals.
I realize it is a constant in islam, both in it's disgusting sharia law and it's history, but one has to wonder : why do you morons fight ? There are only 2 outcomes, either you win or you lose. If you win, you get to live in talibanistan, where ridiculous numbers commit suicide for such moronic reasons as being forced to marry, where there is constant endless violence and hopelessness and where there is islam. If you lose, you die (although maybe if you lose against the US that might be avoided). And yes islam promises the plunder of the war, but you must realize that that is a VERY short-lived pleasure. And even if you win, we simply go back to the dark ages. Christianity sets up somewhere far beyond your disgusting religions reach and slowly builds back up to the point the world is worth living in again.
Is beating women and raping children (the islamic prophet did both) worth that much to muslims ? Apparently, yes.
Hell, this is perhaps the one tactical issue America, Russia, India and China agree on : the need to suppress islam's aspirations. What they don't agree with is the method. All but America seem to believe in genocide, given historical trends. Do muslims have the moronic idea you are capable of fighting even one of those ? I would be AMAZED that if open conflict emerges muslims would last a month. You attack America ... you might want to read up on how China treats it's enemies. Just ask a few Pakistani, you'll find them around.
So why the will to fight ? Are you truly this moronic ?
Right Islam is a violent faith based in hate. It always was, right from its beginnings but for some reasons we are required to ignore history both ancient and recent to be politically correct.
Personally I think we should declare war on Islam, and the best part is nobody needs to get hurt or killed! At least not by our hands, though they may do those things to each other. If there is one thing certain proven by their own fear of it, its that our modern American culture is viral, pervasive, and addicting.
What we should do is install directional transmitters in any friendly territory near the Muslim world with so much envelope power they can't jam it easily, or if they can it makes their own communications equally useless.
Then we take our high altitude bombers and drop Hollywood productions, clothing, pamphlets, etc on every major city every night; extolling American values, American products, and American propaganda. It will probably cost less than the munitions we dump on them now. We don't have to send soldiers into die, we don't have detain children in camps and we don't have to harm anyone. I bet there will be next to nothing left of Islam inside of 20 years.
Repeal the 17th Amendment TODAY! Also Please Read http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/right-to-read.html
