This isn't about Islam or "waging war against God", it's about the theocracy that rules Iran perceiving these protests for reform as a threat to its very existence.

Since that's going to end the protests and not increase the hatred towards those in power.

Edit: I hope these assholes in power step down sooner than later

>The association (Jame’e Moddaresin-e Howzeh Elmiye-ye Qom) suggested that anyone who “instigates fear in society” -- supposedly by participation in anti-government protests -- is belligerent (mohareb) which in Iran's Sharia-based laws is punishable by death, crucifixion, severance of limbs, and/or exile.

So by that logic the hardline clerics should be executed, crucified, or amputated, because they are "instigating fear in society."

I'm not condoning violence. Also, they can't face consequences until they step down. They currently control the military and weapons, that they continue to use against innocent people.

I can't locate the video of an Iranian state-run show where the guest was advocating to cut off one arm, one leg, and then gouging eyes of a protester who is sentenced to death.

His reasoning was that they shouldn't be summarily executed. That's an easy death according to him. They (the protesters) must suffer and torture to death.

I have no problem rendering such punishment for someone who has committed a heinous crime against others. But we are talking about political prisoners who just want to express their voice of dissent against their tyrannical government.

I’m just saying - people like this never step down. They need to be removed. I also hate violence, but violent revolutions against evil regimes might not be all bad. They can certainly face consequences without stepping down.

Replying to fxmldr (#1,075,645)

That's what I thought when I read they thought the punishment was justified when the crime was commited with the “goal of causing fear and a sense of insecurity in the society and knowing that these actions would be publicized domestically and abroad.”

That sounds exactly like what they are doing when they threaten execution and amputation for the 'crime' of protesting.

Changes to Soviet countries have been remarkably peaceful if you think of all the purges and "big" killings. It doesn't mean that a change away from Putin today, however peaceful looking, wouldn't still be quite violent. The change in China has been somewhat gradual, but the general improvement in living standards UPWARD has made that doable. In Iran and Afghanistan the repressive regimes (whatever their religion or other beliefs & policies) is tearing people limb from limb and destroying what good lives they had -- sending the countries DOWNWARD into chaos.

In paradise, they can have all the amputations and executions they desire. I would endeavor to help speed them to the place their faith guides them to go. Perhaps the means that I would apply to achieve such ends might be of a drastically different nature than what they wish to have, but they will certainly end up in the exact same place, regardless. I am but a humble servant here.

Stalin - Won WW2, popular support and a good grasp on the apparatus of the state, not going anywhere.
Mao - More likely to get a bunch of red book wielding people causing a issue if you did this, Also founder points and a desire to project party unity.
Pinochet - I'm sure the US/UK would have issues with his removal, maybe intervene.
Leopold II - Belgium eventually couldn't take the excesses of the Congo and took it off him.

Because they get satisfaction from hurting others. Rape is not about sex, it’s about humiliating, torturing, and exerting control over the victim. That is what turns them on, sex is just the means to an end. It’s sick that a person would get sexually aroused by that, and this might explain why most don’t see it that way, but we must stop equating rape with sexuality.

The vague concept is in Islam, HOWEVER, like you said, they're interpreting it VERY loosely. Ironically, it's supposed to be more about things like terrorism, which they're strangely not interested in punishing.

I'm not saying they're not Muslim, but they ARE misusing Islam to abuse women. And I'm not saying that Christians don't do the same. They've been doing the same for many centuries, like when they took the absolutely idiotic command to "not suffer a Witch to live" and used it to their own ends to gain an insane amount of control over people and the excuse to murder any undesirables in a horrific way, either through the torture used to get them to incriminate their neighbors to make the pain stop or through burning at the stake, pressing with stones, or whatever other means of killing women they could devise. Or when they misinterpreted the Bible to go against gay people and then started murdering THEM en masse, and then later just went the "kinder" route of just persecuting the hell out of them.

Were they Christians? Oh absolutely. But they, like these assholes running Iran, knowingly twisted their religion for control through terror and should not be considered good members of their faith.
