Sharia action alert.....
TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran has executed six people in public in the northeastern city of Sabzevar, state radio said on Monday, the second report of a public execution in the Islamic Republic in less than a week.
Judiciary chief Ayatollah Mahmoud Hashemi-Shahroudi in January ordered a halt to public executions in Iran unless they had his approval, "based on social necessities."
The radio described the convicts as "wicked" people but did not say what crimes they had been convicted of nor when they were put to death. Iran usually carries out executions in prisons by hanging.

Well since they didn't say let's play the guessing game...
a) apostasy
b) not supporting the right kind of Islam
c) being Christian or Joooish
d) dating or being involved with another person of a different religion
e) actually committing a horrible crime

Good thing they didn't do a doodle of mo-ham-ed or they would of been in real trouble. Look for more public murders by the state as unrest grows. Most people of Iran hate the mullas and the bullshit.

Tater, I noticed that justification number 5 was dead-last. You mean these guys are *preferentially* executing political and ethnic "criminals?" People who disagree with them?
Go figure. Yep.
They need some Thermonuclear Love...

The Iranian people must be pretty stupid to allow a bunch of dirty old pervs claiming to be religious experts to transform a modern, respected nation into this miserable, retrograde craphole that commands nothing but scorn for the last 30 years. The mule-ahs should be the ones swinging from cranes-the sooner, the better both for the world in general and Iran in particular.
