“O you who believe! Intoxicants, gambling, Al-Ansab, and Al-Azlam (arrows for seeking luck or decision) are an abomination of Satan’s handiwork. So avoid that in order that you may be successful.” (Qur’an 5:90)
“Iranian man flogged 80 times for drinking alcohol as a child,” BBC, July 12, 2018:
Amnesty International has condemned the Iranian authorities for publicly flogging a man who was convicted of consuming alcohol when he was 14 or 15.
Local media published photographs of the man – identified only as “M R” – being given 80 lashes in a square in the eastern city of Kashmar on Tuesday.
Prosecutors say he was arrested in the Iranian year of 1385 (March 2006-March 2007) and sentenced the next year.
It is not clear why the punishment was carried out more than 10 years later.
The photographs show a young man tied to a tree being flogged by a masked man in uniform. A small crowd of people can be seen watching at a distance….
Article 265 of Iran’s Islamic penal code states that the punishment for consumption of alcohol by a Muslim is 80 lashes.
More than 100 other offences are punishable by flogging, including theft, assault, vandalism, defamation and fraud, as well as acts that Amnesty said should not be criminalised, such as adultery, intimate relationships between unmarried men and women, “breach of public morals” and consensual same-sex sexual relations….

Islam never ceases to amaze me with it’s cruelty.
No fun in Islam.

I agree with your comment, Andy, about the level of vicious, sadistic cruelty that Islam and its minions, the Muslims, endlessly display. I agree with your succinct comment, Mariam. I mean, WTF, this punishment isn’t at all out of proportion for the crime, is it?( and, of course, I don’t see drinking alcohol as being wrong in any way whatsoever). Islam is so twisted and perverted. I think it is full of sadists who just love inflicting this sort of retribution. But the really perverted, twisted thing about Islam is the way it’ll see drinking alcohol and other trivia as something terrible, but really evil things like murdering people in terrorist attacks, marrying off little girls, etc, are acceptable, indeed praiseworthy, activities. Islam is so unbelievably sick. Its barbaric concept of what is moral and what is immoral is completely upside down by civilised, sane standards.
Andy says
You can say that again, Tim. Great comment.
Most of us in the western world (If Islam ever became the dominant force) would be subject to barbaric acts of cruelty by fanatical Muslims who think this is the only way to God.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
J D S says
I’ve said this many times before…Stupidity breeds stupidity and Muslims sure are good breeders.
What causes Muslims to do the sadistic things they do?
It’s in their genes.
It’s centuries of indoctrination in the cult and centuries of marrying their first cousins. and other close kin.
tim gallagher says
Thanks, Andy. It has struck me very often that hideous, serious crimes ( terrorist murders of innocents, etc) are seen as moral and praiseworthy by Muslims and then you get trivial little faults (like this daring to have a drink of alcohol) being seen as terrible things and punished in this monstrous way. It’s a truly insane ideology. I agree with what you say that nothing could be further from God than Islam ( at least from my idea of what God is). I agree with your comment, J D S, Islam certainly indoctrinates people to become evil monsters. Probably the inbreeding is a factor as well.
Andy says
Thanks Tim!
Cheers mate!

Where are all the Leftist progressive SJW groups, protesting en mass and in solidarity with Amnesty International, against this fascist totalitarian state’s gross human rights abuses?
Oh…they’re in London, congregating, chanting and demonstrating beneath the Trump baby blimp…
Jean Terry says
Boy is that the truth. It is so sickening. The poor young men. So sad for him and his family and the people in the country who should be rid of these evil fanatics.
Buraq says
Someone ought to tell these clowns that the human body produces its own alcohol 24/7/365! It’s called endogenous ethanol. That means the so-called prophet of Islam was, like us, a walking brewery!
So, let those who are without sin, or alcohol in their body, cast the first stone.
Gjallarhornet says
Islam – the only religion stupid enough to come after you for a drink you had ten years ago.
Anton says
They know so much about Satan’s “handiwork”! Why? I for one know nothing about it.

I made my second post just because of some failures in the algorithms of this site. I didn’t see my post. Please delete any of the two.

“Satan’s handwork” … that sound like a really skilled and professional way of … masturbating. A koranic interpretation worthy of the most eminent muslim scholar. 🙂

“Islamic Republic of Iran: Man flogged 80 times for drinking alcohol over
ten years ago”
Goodness me, I thought I was hallucinating when I saw this headline.
Alas, I wasn’t. It IS Mohammedanism we’re talking about after all, so I
should have trusted my eyes. As for alcohol being “Satan’s handiwork”,
they’d know all about that, much better than anyone.

This poor man.
God, I hate Islam.
Ziba Delavar says
At this moment I wish that I had never been born in Iran. Iran is a total disgrace. I am ashamed to be Iranian.

Ziba, these barbarians are the ones who should be ashamed, not you.
Arthur says
I’ll bet its the same approach as with Tommy Robinson. He was tried and convicted 10 years ago and lived under the constant threat of flogging. When he finally stepped out of line for something his punishment was ready and waiting.
Jim says
Why do so many Muslim-owned gas stations & restaurants sell alcohol?
ontheridge says
This is against Jesus. His first miracle was turning water into wine and Satan hates that. Hates Jesus’ miracles. They called Jesus a glutton and a drunkard because he ate lots of different foods and drank wine with sinners, and they called John the baptist crazy because he didn’t drink or eat normal food. Maha-mud hated everything to do with Christianity and his followers expanded that so everything Christian is evil.
Gjallarhornet says
He drank once ten years ago. For that he got publicly flogged today. Thank God the muslims didn’t find out that he masturbated – twice! – five years ago, and had a Snickers during Ramadan last year. Allah alone knows what would have happened then.
Moral of this little joke: Islam if fucking nuts. Stay away!
