Iranian Paralympian Facing Execution …

[naomi24]

… for saying that during the pandemic it’s hypocritical to close gyms but leave mosques open.

When civilisation was being dished out, these people were out to lunch. He’s right, isn’t he?

[emmie]

yes. personally i would shut them all, but that's not going to happen any time soon

[aelmpvw]

execution for voicing an opinion seems a tad excessive

[emmie]

that's the religion of peace don't you know.......

Absolute morons , I live quite near two Iranians ( a couple) who managed to escape the tyrannical rankings of those in power

He's right, but when you live in a theocratic society you need to watch what you say.

[ladybirder]

Do you think it will actually happen Naomi? His chances don't look good.

[emmie]

every chance i would think, we don't hear half of what goes on in these stone age countries.

They are 400 years behind the times. A backward step was taken in 1980 I think.

Poor guy. I don't suppose Amnesty International or other human rights org. can help?

[emmie]

we can't even get Nazarin Radcliffe out of jail, their thinking is worse than stone age.

[naomi24]

LB, I don't know. The mere fact that he's in prison for saying it is bad enough.

[ladybirder]

It is. Poor guy. I wouldn't put a bet on him surviving this.

Naomi; I think that that part of the world was the cradle of civilisation. It's what happened between cradle and teens that's the problem.

[iluvmargie]

Poor, poor man. He doesn't stand a chance dealing with these uneducated peasants!

[Mamyalynne]

Truly horrendous, I hope with all I can muster that a death sentence is not carried out.

[Atheist]

A thought; in USA there are evangelical christians who believe it is good to murder doctors who provide abortions. Don't believe that all religious fanatics are in Iran.

"we can't even get Nazarin Radcliffe out of jail"

Well,Boris didnt exactly help there did he.That was before he was made PM and you voted for him!!

[iluvmargie]

But they don't ACTUALLY murder them do they Atheist??? Unlike the scumbags this poor chap has been captured by!!

[royfromaus]

Atheist, the difference is religious fanatics in the USA are not in charge.

[Atheist]

Iluv, they do actually murder them. There have been convictions of people who murdered doctors. I can't give you links, but I saw interviews with those who justify such killings on an episode of a Richard Dawkins series (possibly "The root of all evil?") which dealt with fundamentalist religionistas.
