Good thing Islam is a religion of peace and love, otherwise they might treat her unfairly.

Any fundementalist monotheistic religion has had it's share of this shit, but that doesn't make it any better. My heart goes out for this women, people should know better.

How many stones does it take to get to the centre of an iranian woman?

Hot Karl · #7 (**permalink**) Dec 21, 04

i am so outraged. oh wait i'm not. this isn't the first, nor will it be the last.

hopefully someone gets a nice clean shot in and kills her quick. i'd still say dying like this would be better than gettin some acid poured all over you.

Whats with all the bullshit in the article about "acting fast" and "standing up" against this action. "these actions" have been going on for merely a century in Iran, along with many other tortures.

DJmarkPaul - This has nothing to do with Islam or the core of the religion. All unintelligent governments have had their share of violence to tame its people upon its path.
This is only one of the sad factors that subsist in Iran, or any other 3rd word country for that matter.

what if they just bury her at the bottom of some cliff, and they have a boulder dropping contest, to see who can taker down in one shot from a 200+ft cliff or something.

so in theory, it takes 1 lick from a boulder

"The Iranian Penal Code is very specific about the manner of execution and types of stones which should be used."

[...]

"...the stones used should “not be large enough to kill the person by one or two strikes, nor should they be so small that they could not be defined as stones.”

Mentally-ill girl who was sold for sex faces death penalty in Iran
By Angus McDowall in Tehran
14 December 2004

A teenage girl with a mental age of eight is facing the death penalty for prostitution in Iran. The trial comes only four months after the hanging of another mentally ill girl for sex before marriage in a case that has prompted a human rights lawyer to prepare a charge of wrongful execution against the presiding judge.

hey, it's not like you can reason with them. so at least poke fun at them.

but even i'm leaving the execution of a retarded girl that was forced into prostitution alone.

If you're being stoned... and you don't die before the stones pile on top of your head until they can't see you anymore... do they just stop? or do they pick up the stones and re-throw them till you die? like... damn.

who the hell gets stoned now-a-days?! (that was teeming in weed jokes)

crookedking · #16 (**permalink**) Dec 21, 04

I remember reading in a Farsi newspaper that if that happens, or if the person happens to dig himself/herself out of the dig, he/she is then free.
but thats illogical, and will nevr happen. The first stone would make sure to blow the 'Cuckoo' out of your mind. the next few will finish the game.

However, that just makes it worse. The image I get from a person trying to escape, while being hit in the face is much worse than a surrendered motherfucker counting the last seconds of his life!

I don't feel this topic has anything to do with FNK or the subjects it puts forth in anyway. Wum please refrain from posting another topic on the matters of overseas injustice as they only turn into fights. I have warned you twice now. Thanks everyone, play nice.
