This is the face of the Islamic Sharia law that Islamic radicals are laboring daily around the world to impose upon non-Muslims. Dhimmi status is just one part of it. This is also the jihadist regime with which John Kerry as President hopes to come to a reconciliation. From Iran Focus, with thanks to "Allah":
Tehran, Sep. 3 - A man by the name of Mohammad N. was hanged in public in the city of Arak, (central Iran) on Sunday, August 29.Mohammad’s four young children were brought to the scene to watch the execution of their father.
As he was being taken to the gallows, the children pleaded for mercy for their father, who was accused of killing his wife. Reacting to the outcries of his children, the crowd also called for the victim to be spared.
Officials, however, went ahead with the hanging. As the victim was being lifted on the crane, his 15-year-old girl, Mahdiyeh, ran up to her father’s feet. While in tears, she attempted to force him on her own shoulders so that he would be able to breathe. Officials, however, prevented her from doing so and forced the children watch their father die.
NOTE: This is not to say that I support this man's killing his wife. But did his children have to witness this? And it was a very different story in this case, also from Iran.
DOn't want to be heartless but isn't there a contradiction somewhere here?
A man hanged for killing his wife? Why, all he had to do to escape punishment was to claim she blashphemed against the holly prophet or turned apostate or any crap like that and under sharia', he could peacefully walk! Something's missing here....
At first guess, He angered someone connected with, or in the judicial system.
Perhaps his wife had a lover who was third cousin to the judge? Shaira is easily hijacked for personal revenge.(IMHO)
Forcing children to watch an execution is barbaric and cruel beyond the pale of even "simian" sensibilities.
ISLAM is a system of belief that is not fit for running a government of more that about 1200 people at any one time.
It is even not a very good tribal system.
Shira is inadequate,corrupt and only harmful to the present day masses.
I am shocked that they are even prosecuting him for killing a mere woman...he must have forgotten to praise allah while slicing her throat.
The fact that muslims want cowardly kerry as pres should drive anyone who is non muslim and undecided to vote Bush. Kerry must remember that once he climbs into bed with deadly maggots and cozys up to them (guess he does that every night now doesnt he) that he cant pull his vietnam tactic and injure himself to get enough "get out of war free" medals....nope no going home from the war...kerry will bring the war here.
In the same vien, here's another story about how islamic 'militants' (why does even the Indian media persist in not calling these scum 'terorists'?) exposed their masulinity on 4 young women in Kashmir -

This is just sick. It seems that the evil in these Islamic cesspits just gets worse and worse. I'm shocked and disgusted, but at the same time, not surprised. Another example of Islam stripping the humanity out of people. They probably wanted to make the kids watch so that the kids can become psychologically damaged and filled with rage and hate - perfect future jihadis.
