    There are no words to describe the barbarism of this act. That this kind of thing still exists in the world is nauseating, yet we know it goes on in far more places than this. I have not heard from our president on this, which is sad. Maybe I missed it but he's usually not at a loss for words. If this woman dies by stoning or the Iranian government merely changes the method of execution, there must be consequences. What? I don't know. That's why we have our inert, incompetent politicians.

    So... what? We go to war... to kill them... for killing this woman?
    And think of it... what do we (the U.S.) typically tell people in places like France or Norway who tell us our Death Penalty is barbaric?

    Amen, we US citizens should be concerned with the crimes being committed against us. This is sad but a waste of time to be dwelling on.
    Well no one is asking you to waste your time on it...

    Has anyone seen the Stoning of Soroya M.?
    I believe it was based on a true story...

    It might give you some insight, gimmesometruth, on how it works there (i'm assuming the movie is factual)

    Here's the trailer: http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/inde ... ofsorayam/

    what i find interesting in this - is that i'm sure many people on the right are outraged at this (as they should be) but it's the leftist organizations in the world that actually do anything about it ... the right are more interested in ostracizing iran and the politics while the left are the ones who are actually addressing the human rights component ...

    So, along those lines, there should be consequences for the US every time there is an execution there? You don't need to look further than your back yard for barbaric acts.

    what's the use of pointing out that the mother was muslim? lol or this sentence: "The devout Muslim mother, according to the Sun, claimed her daughter lunged at her with a knife in her sewing room, where she prayed several times daily." fox news, what a piece of shit

    melloooow.....outlaw, but now that you mention it don't you find it odd that the laws and cultural understanding in muslim life have little regard for their women like that guy and his son that killed his daughter to save his family's honor or the woman that is or was to be stoned to death for cheating on her husband...talk about caveman mentality.
