Tehran, Iran, Jan. 06 – An Iranian court has sentenced a teenage rape victim to death by hanging after she weepingly confessed that she had unintentionally killed a man who had tried to rape both her and her niece.

The state-run daily Etemaad reported on Saturday that 18-year-old Nazanin confessed to stabbing one of three men who had attacked the pair along with their boyfriends while they were spending some time in a park west of the Iranian capital in March 2005.

Nazanin, who was 17 years old at the time of the incident, said that after the three men started to throw stones at them, the two girls’ boyfriends quickly escaped on their motorbikes leaving the pair helpless.

She described how the three men pushed her and her 16-year-old niece Somayeh onto the ground and tried to rape them, and said that she took out a knife from her pocket and stabbed one of the men in the hand.

As the girls tried to escape, the men once again attacked them, and at this point, Nazanin said, she stabbed one of the men in the chest. The teenage girl, however, broke down in tears in court as she explained that she had no intention of killing the man but was merely defending herself and her younger niece from rape, the report said.

The court, however, issued on Tuesday a sentence for Nazanin to be hanged to death.



Last week, a court in the city of Rasht, northern Iran, sentenced Delara Darabi to death by hanging charged with murder when she was 17 years old. Darabi has denied the charges.


…If you think this won’t be carried through…

In August 2004, Iran’s Islamic penal system sentenced a 16-year-old girl, Atefeh Rajabi, to death after a sham trial, in which she was accused of committing “acts incompatible with chastity”.

This was the same judge who sentenced Nazanin to death. He personally volunteered to hang the girl himself as so outraged she took off her hajib which he considered undressing.

The teenage victim had no access to a lawyer at any stage and efforts by her family to retain one were to no avail. Atefeh personally defended herself and told the religious judge that he should punish those who force women into adultery, not the victims. She was eventually hanged in public in the northern town of Neka.

So what was the judge (one Haji Rezaie) doing sentencing an "unchaste" 16-year-old to hang? He said that she had a "sharp tongue" and had "undressed in court".
It seems that all she did was to take off her headscarf and insist that she was the victim of an older man's advances: …Nevertheless, the judge was so outraged that he decided he would personally put the noose round the child's neck.

According to Iranian law, a boy can be executed from the age of 15, and a girl from the age of nine.

This is what I have so far
Please let me know when you publish the story

Answer 2

It's my belief that humans need other humans to believe the same things they do, this acts as validation for their own beliefs.

You take one person with a belief, this person then needs followers of that belief, so they attract people who believe what the first person believed. Then you have a source and a following.

So, we have many beliefs/religions to choose from.

Much like politics, essentially we have 2 main political parties, people will choose to follow the party that makes the most sense to them. They choose a side. So there is the source, the political party, and theyre followers the voters who have chosen them.

It's all to do with controlling what people think, feel, and therefore controlling society. It's marketing stategy, give the person a choice and they will normally choose one of them.

There is a school of thought that without these control there would be anarchy.

I don't feel so, but then we are never asked or given what we want, we are told what we should want and aspire to.

russia became religionless, but theyre politics were corrupt, so could not take over the control, as there was no heart, fairness and hope in their society. Humans need structure and hope.

Personally, i feel we need diversity at the moment, in order to learn tolerance.

Though in the future we may become more free-thinking and not held back by these controlling constraints.

Answer 3

Two possible reasons, could be a combination of the two:

Reason 1. Religion is a way of making sense of the unknown part of the world. For many people, it's their chief sense of well-being, "knowing" the order of the universe. So when someone else says, "no, that's not how the universe is," it shakes you to your very core. You have no peace of mind, you're sure about nothing.

Reason 2. It's human nature to want to belong, and also dwell on the differences between people. Religion is just an excuse for creating "us" and "them," and a really good excuse because you can always argue that your god tells you you're right and they're wrong. The "us" are good, and all the "them" are bad. If it weren't religion, it would be something else.

Answer 4

I'm glad you are not like all these ignorant, immmature people. Please stay that way.

These people fight because they don't agree, because they're different. The athiests get angry when some christians preach to them and shove their religion down their throat in an effort to convert them, and the christains get angry when the atheists say blasphemous things about their god.

Those I believe are only the main reasons. Some others are that some christians have a superiority complex so they argue with the atheists because they believe they are better. This in turn angers the atheists for their harsh judgment of them based on their lack of religion.

I hope I have helped in some way.
Keep thinking just the way you are, you'll get far in life.
Peace,
Agnostic

Answer 5

I think it is mob mentality that creates extreme factions. Most of these religions are not violent by nature, nor do they harbor hate for anyone. When people get together, though, they feel the need to impose their rules and beliefs onto other people instead of letting it be a relationship between the individual and God. Instead of showing how wonderful it is to have a relationship with God and how peaceful their lives are living this way, some people (the loudest, but not the majority) try to beat it into other people.

The rest of us are not very outspoken because we go about our daily lives following the God of our choosing, trying to be a good example, serving others, hoping that by being kind to others and having positive conversations we can show people the love of God. I believe that if you have a relationship with God, He works through you, and that the love that comes from Him channels through us.

I know I'm using a few big words but I think even a 10 year old could get the jist of what I'm trying to say. =)

God bless!

Answer 6

Hey dude,
like you I do not subscribe to any religion and do not care about what others believe. However, I have done a lot of research into religion trying to figure out its fascination for so many people. The conclusions I have come to are thus;

Firstly let us look at how people become religious, there are those that are brought up in a religious household and are therefore indoctrinated with religion.

Then there are those that find religion after a crisis of some sorts, because what they believed in before didn't get them far they are trying something else.

There are those who simply think about the ideas of religion and decide that they are correct.

All of us whether of a religion or not judge our status in the world according to the model that we have built of the world. This means that for those who base their ideas around the basis that a particular god created and keeps the universe, their whole judgement of self and reality starts to come unravelled if their god does not exist. Therefore to keep their realities intact the religions have to be "at war" so to speak, if they do not deny the truth of the other religions then how can they believe in thiers without falter.

There are exceptions to this I believe, there are some religions that accept others as different cultural versions and believe that all religions ultimately worship the same god by different names.

So, to sum up:
To not deny the other religions is to accept yours may be wrong.
To accept your religion may be wrong starts to make your judgements seem less valid.
No human wants to feel they are losing the capacity for judgement.

As I am not an athiest and not of a religion, I can allow for the option that god does exist and the fact he doesn't without changing my perceptions to any great degree. Just because he exists I don't have to worship him and if he doesn't, that changes nothing at all for me. Therefore I have no need to defend my world view and therefore do not care to argue it

Answer 7

Most (but not all) religions are based around one or more loving Gods.
Most (but not all) members of these religions are therfore supposed to show love to others, and many do this.
Sometimes the ceremony and rules around these religions are different to other religions, which often leads the members of these religions to forget their God(s) and love and argue about the differences between their ceremonies etc.
When this happens on a large scale, other people struggle to hear the message of love as it is drowned out by the arguing and wars can begin.

But don't worry! All is not lost. If you and everyone else remembers that love is the point to all of this, maybe we can turn it all around.

Answer 8

easy answer: they all think that they are right. SO everyone else in their opinion is wrong. This is of course ridiculous. But thats human beings.

Another view is that they all see a differet aspect or a part of God. Like imagine god is a person. One religion sees a leg, another sees a nose etc. God is very big and hard to describe/see so all these religions are open to one part of God

just some thoughts

ah then looking at your yahoo 360 it appears you're talking out of your poop hole, you are not 10 yrs old

Answer 9

there's really no good reason. some people think theirs is the only way and everyone else should die. some think that all other religions are evil and only theirs is good. generally, christians believe everyone else will go to hell, atheists are sick of being told that they will go to hell, jehova wittnesses believe they need to convert so many people, catholics generally don't like other christians because the churchs split a long time ago, and most people don't like mormons because they supposedly beat their women and children and almost enslave women. keep in mind this is not always the case but sometimes it is.

Answer 10

I guess for the majority of people, there aren't very strong religious views e.g. they are raised in one religion but don't have very strong beliefs and therefore are not too bothered about those of other religions. Then there are the religious fanatics who despise anyone not of the same faith, even if it is another subdivision of the same basic religion. And there are the people who do practice their faith and regard themselves as holier than thou. So I guess intolerance of other religions can be taken as a measure of how unpleasant OR ignorant someone is. But as for the wars between different faiths, that has as much to do with politics as religion.

Answer 11

Some people are cling so desperately to their religion until it is all they have, and therefore, they will fight to the death for it. As long as people have been on Earth there has been some sort of religious practice and there has been people hating each other over their different views. Basically what it comes down to is that people want to believe that their religion is the "right" one and therefore all others are "wrong."
