Nazanin Mahabad Fatehi was sentenced to death for murder by court in Iran after she stabbed one of three men who attempted to rape her. Do you know about this? Have you signed the petition? I first heard about her particular case this morning.

Also howmany of you know that in Iran the law says that girls as young as nine can be put to death? For boys it is 15.

I can't imagine why anyone in the west would be concerned about this. Iran and our good friends the Saudi Arabians both follow this vicious code of 'law'. In Saudi every Friday morning you can attend the stoning to death of adulterous women, the beheading of gay men, and the severing of hands and feet from thieves. This is an ancient and barbaric legal system, still practiced in many Arabic countries.

Yes to all your questions.
It is so important that we, people of the world, let countries know when we believe their laws are cruel and unjust.
Thank you for raising this issue again.

Real change in a person comes from within. You cannot force someone to be a better human.
Same with societies.
If the Chinese invaded and forced the USA to reform its judicial system so that sentences given to minorities are equal to those given to whites, do you think it would work?

If they don't like it, THEY should change it. We had to do things for ourselves, so should they. It's evident they don't appreciate any of our help, so screw 'em.
