Sharia alert. From IranFocus, with thanks to Kemaste:
Tehran, Jan. 26 – A seventeen-year-old boy was sentenced to execution by a Tehran court. The boy, only identified by his first name Sattar, was accused of murder.Sattar allegedly stabbed to death a man by the name of Mahmoud a few months ago after a scuffle at a phone booth in Islamshahr (southern Tehran)....
Last week a young man who was accused of killing a member of Iran’s security forces when he was a minor was hanged in the notorious Evin prison in Tehran.
Iman Farrokhi who was 17 at the time of the offence was on death row in the Tehran Centre for Reform and Education (Juvenile Prison).
Mohammad T., another teenager currently in one of Iran’s Centers for Reform and Education, is to also be hanged to death in the coming weeks for allegedly stabbing someone when he was 14.
His sentence was approved by Iran’s Supreme Court.
Under Iranian law, girls above the age of nine and boys above the age of fifteen are considered as adults and could be executed for capital offences.
Why is the age so low for girls? Probably because of the example of Muhammad's marriage to Aisha when she was nine and he was 52.
A few US states also allow people to be executed for crimes committed when they were minors, don't they? Do you oppose this in the US as you seem to in Iran, Robert?

Please tell us which American states allow for the execution of nine year old girls? Or allow 52 year old men to fornicate with nine year old girls?
Is this not a good thing? Do you want him to turn into a professional killer? Do you want him around for jihad against the West? What is the point behind this story anyway? Is it another frivolous argument?
