Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Islamic Republic of Iran sentences man to have eyes gouged out, another has hand and foot amputated

Aug 6, 2015 2:18 pm By Robert Spencer

Iran-eye-gouging-sentenceIran is simply following the Qur’an, which stipulates: “And We ordained for them therein a life for a life, an eye for an eye, a nose for a nose, an ear for an ear, a tooth for a tooth, and for wounds is legal retribution. But whoever gives charity, it is an expiation for him. And whoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed – then it is those who are the wrongdoers.” (5:45)

And: “Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and strive upon earth corruption is none but that they be killed or crucified or that their hands and feet be cut off from opposite sides…” (5:33)

“Iran regime sentences man to have eyes gouged out,” NCRI, August 5, 2015:

NCRI – The mullahs’ inhuman regime in Iran has sentenced a young man to be blinded.

The cruel and medieval sentence was handed down on Saturday (August 1) to the 27-year-old man only identified by his first name Hamed.

Hamed had told the regime’s court that in March 2011, when he was 23 years old, he unintentionally caused an eye injury to another young man in a street fight, according to the official state-run Iran newspaper.

“It was around midnight and I was sitting at home when my mother called me and said that my father had gotten into a car accident. I rushed to the scene to help my dad, but I really didn’t intend to injure anyone’s eye,” Hamed told the regime’s court.

Following this sentence, Ms. Farideh Karimi, a member of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) and a human rights activist, said:

“It is deeply regretful that European governments are not protesting such cases of barbarity in Iran. These savage acts which constitute torture are enshrined in the Iranian regime’s laws. At least four people were hanged in public in Iran last month. Such public hangings also constitute a form of public torture. When people are urged to go to the scene, everyone who is faced with that sight is also tortured by that barbaric act. One must ask: Why has the EU closed its eyes to these atrocities.”

The Iranian regime’s judiciary officials have publicly defended limb amputations, eye gouging, and even stoning to death as a very real part of their judicial law.

Mohammad-Javad Larijani, the head of the Iranian regime’s ‘Human Rights Council’, said on April 10, 2014: “The problem is that the West does not understand that Qisas (law of retribution) is different from execution. We are not ashamed of stoning or any of the Islamic decrees.”

“No one has the right to tell a judge to avert some sentences because the United Nations gets upset. We should firmly and seriously defend the sentence of stoning.”

He has also said: “Retaliation and punishment are beautiful and necessary things. It’s a form of protection for the individual and civil rights of the people in a society. The executioner or the person administering the sentence is in fact very much a defender of human rights. One can say that there is humanity in the act of retaliation.”

The Iranian regime on Monday amputated the hand and foot of an inmate in a prison in Mashhad, northeast Iran.

The prisoner, only identified as Rahman K., had his right hand and left foot severed by the authorities. A second prisoner is awaiting the same sentence imminently….

      There is almost no difference between the Sharia of ISIS and the Sharia of the mullahocracy.

    Well, yeah. They’re YOUR laws – if the majority of YOUR people isn’t happy with them then YOU do something about it. Demand change. Start a revolution. Just don’t expect others to do your homework for you – if European nations force Iran to change its laws to something not sharia compliant, how long would it take for rabble-rousers to kick up a storm and murder an untold number of non-muslims in response?

      Iran has a mob-for-hire of 1 million thugs who beat up and shoot up protesters called the Basij. They’re like Hitler’s paramilitary Brownshirts. If the Basij could be turned, there might be a revolution, but the Basij is composed of fanatical Muslims.

    The cruel ,vicious and tyrannical Islam regime that call itself a “republic” is thus even false in it’s name. For a real republic means “‘The property of the people” this is one thing this Islamic dictatorship is not Furthermore, the such brutal and hideous oppression is describe in the Bible. Which reads “All the days of the oppressed are wretched.” Proverbs 15:15. Likewise Proverbs 29:2 teaches “When the wicked rule, the people groan.” [N.I.V.]

    Such a pacific nation, such an enlightened people, what could go wrong in a deal with them?

      Obama would say that you just don’t understand Iranian society and how much of the Iranian government is controlled by “moderates”. Such a moderate country with just a tiny insignificant number of “violent extremists” with absolutely no power at all.

      As usual it’s difficult to tell if Obama is an ignorant tool or an outright evil blatant liar.

      • Lucretius says

        Aug 6, 2015 at 4:00 pm

        Obama could also tell us to get off our high horses! A few hundred years ago, western societies also flogged, publicly hung, decapitated, mutilated, burned, enslaved, yada yada yada. Stop thinking you’re better! Can’t we all get along? [snicker]

        Aug 6, 2015 at 6:14 pm

        Some would say also that the Iranian movies are really touching. That O’Keefe psycho other day presented us with a sentence like this: “Iranians truly love poetry, such a people can do no harm…” Now, how moron and biased can you be?

      • abad says

        Aug 6, 2015 at 7:44 pm

        Obama is not old enough to remember the 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran. The POTUS was still in diapers at the time…..

    **********************************
    The Bible (2 Cor. 11:14) says that the devil “transforms himself into an angel of light,” and these, his children, are trying to do the same thing….lying to cover their demonic evil. Calling it, not only “necessary” but saying these atrocities are “beautiful.”
    It doesn’t work for the devil….he faces eternal punishment in the abyss. It won’t work for these sickos either as they face eternal punishment in the lake of fire where satan the devil will also be thrown. (Rev. 20:10).

    ……………………………

    Aren’t you glad the West now considers these bloody barbarians partners for peace?

    Suicidal madness….

    “…We are not ashamed of stoning or any of the Islamic decrees.”

    Then you’ll understand when the West is finally forced to rain fire and (brim)stone down upon the theocratic leaders and Republican Guard of Iran.

    If the religious leaders and the military elites were “removed” (permanently) what direction would Iran follow? A pre-revolution, post-revolution, or, a new form of government?

    It’s the evil Jews who do this they control everything in the world.

    No I don’t think so either moslems like to blame Jews for every thing including 911 how stupid do they think we are. Apart from Obama who comes from some other planet.

      No, I’m pretty sure Obama is human. He just doesn’t realize how horribly inhumane Iran and Saudi are.

  14. cranky.white.woman says

    Aug 7, 2015 at 12:42 pm

    Ms. Farideh Karimi asks, “Why has the EU closed its eyes to these atrocities?” The answer is because the perpetrators are Muslims. If the Israelis were committing such crimes against humanity, the EU would be all over it.

    A better question would be why does the EU turn a blind eye when it comes to the atrocities committed by Muslims in European nations, and keeps allowing them to invade EU lands?

  15. Crystal says

    Aug 9, 2015 at 1:47 am

    People, write to the Iranian Embassy. It’s easy. If you do this, you might get somewhere. All you have to say is that you protest the loss of this guy’s eyes. I hope we’re not too late to help him.

    Providence have compassion on us all, if this is the way we can treat people!
