Due to the comments on my last post on sharia, I decided to find a few links regarding the fates that hang currently in the balance in Iran. Keep in mind that they follow the death by hanging quite recently of several teenage girls and women. Following are two addresses for sites that include petitions as well as the latest news that I could find on the case of Nazanin (above), now 18, who fended off her would be attackers from herself and her younger niece. She used a knife and one of the attackers died later of his wounds. Despite her testimony that she acted in self-defense, she has been sentenced for this "crime" to be hanged.

Nazanin's (she has been identified only by her first name) "crime" occurred but a year after the brutal execution, also in Iran, of 16-year-old Atefeh Rajabi, who was hanged by the judge himself for what amounted to the crime of sexual relations with her boyfriend. Other reports suggest that Atefeh, a bold and independent girl, was killed for refusing the advances of the judge who hanged her and left her body for public view for approximately 45 minutes. Others report that she yelled "repentance" as she was being dragged to her execution, which under "normal sharia rules", whatever those really are, should have earned her a stay of execution.
A symposium from Front Page Magazine with Atafeh's "mug shot", in which you can see her defiant attitude, is here:

As suggested by Always On Watch's comment, we SHOULD be screaming about this, in my opinion. I have personally read of many more of these cases, but this post would go on forever.

The report below is, as yet, unconfirmed. But knowing what I do about Iran, the method of execution comes as no surprise. Western bleeding-heart types, those who lament methods of execution in the United States, take note! From this source, not one...

The Left masquerades as the advocate of human rights, and yet they have nothing to say about the Islamic world (and, in particular, Iran), where gay people, alcohol drinkers, and adulterers are subject to the death penalty: Iran Cited Over Execution...

Source APTN (Associated Press) The court proceedings were supposed to begin at 10:30 local time (07:00 GMT). There was a 2-hour delay due to the massive interest (there were over 200 people cramming to get into the courthouse). Proceedings, as a result,...
