Amnesty International has joined forces with campaigners from within Iran to end the practice of stoning, where people convicted of certain crimes have stones thrown at them until they die from their injuries. They say that eight Iranian women, charged with adultery, are currently in prisons awaiting this sentence. There is a growing movement inside the county to end the unpopular practice and even some members of the Islamic judiciary have come out against stoning in recent years.

It´s NOT true, that bashing Iran is just much fun. Self-knowledge is the first step toward self-improvement.

You can find educated and barbarian people in every country, BUT, the differences concern 1) the proportion, and 2) the basic social knowledge of the people. It´s always a matter of the qualified majority.

The more improved a culture is the merrier these social interactions work toward a civilized society; open-mindedness, tolerance and respect towards the right of others to their opinion and beliefs are the pillars of an improved society. In a civilized culture the qualified majority takes care of it´s women, minorities, criminals and animals.

Persepolis and Sa´adi are not Iranian culture, they are Iranian history. Culture is the the set of shared attitudes, values, goals, and practices that characterizes an institution, organization or group. It´s not possible to say We do this and that but this is not our culture. These this and that build up the culture.

Women abuse (dominated, beaten, marital raped), child abuse (mistreated), minority abuse (harrased), criminal abuse (lashed, stoned and killed), animal abuse (maltreaded and slayed) are the attitudes, values, goals and practices of the qualified majority of the Iranians (in and outside of Iran), and they characterize the Iranian institutions, organizations and groups. Sad but true: This is the Iranian culture, very old but not improved.

Iranian culture is bullshit and a joke.

-----

Just for your information (1): Women abuse rates (UN): 81% of Iranian wives have already faced domestic violence (slapped, beaten, choked, attacked with Knives) in the first year of marriage, 35% of them wanted to commit suicide, 9% of them tried it but failed, 38% of the Iranian women have faced sexual violence, 19,3% of pregnants were beaten.

Just for your information (2): Child abuse rates (UN): USA 1,23% p.a., Scandinavia 0,32% p.a., Iran 16,75% p.a.

Just for your information (3): Death sentence rate (AI): Iran 4,40 per million, USA 0,14 p.m., EU 0,00

Dear Captain

Thank you for posting the A. I. report. As they said in the audio clip, the majority of Iranians are against this cruel and unusual punishment and would rather see it abolished.

PS: it's discouraging to see some of the comments mocking Iranians as people who have rocks in their hands. I wonder if for these feeble minds, it justifies bombing those people and annihilating them as seen done to others...

Mental Illness

Mental illness appears in many forms.   In some instances it is manifest in the desire to inflict pain on others.  This desire is often justified by various religious beliefs.  Hence we have stonings.  But in reality, what kind of punishment would you expect to be invented by people who have "rocks in their heads."  :)
