Just a bunch of little humanitarians they are…Why is it always women?
Damn I thought this would be about weed.
You realize that (sexist) men run the courts there, right? Usually adultery will get a man a slap on the wrist.
It’s like two extremes with the West and (Middle) East.
Middle East: Adultery = Death
West: Adultery = Socially acceptable part of marriage
And yet both are so wrong.
Because everybody knows the gender ratio of executions in the US is 50/50.
And because everybody knows races are proportionally represented in the death row.
And because frying somebody’s body with a couple of thousand volts is more humane.
Bloody idiot!

Except the crimes that are punishable by death are usually perpetrated by men. Or at least men are dumb enough to get caught.
Talking about sexism here, not racism.
Lethal injection? And at any rate, I want criminals (read: murderers and rapists) to suffer. I guess I’m just messed up like that.
Yeah, I try.
I knew what this was about as soon as I saw the title.

And again he manages to steer this thread right back to the US.
I especially love how when suicide bombers are brought up, lixypoo sits on his hands like the piece of shit bitch he is.

Are we comparing executions used as punishment for adultery and homosexuality, to executions as punishment for murder? Really? Whatever one’s stance might be concerning the death penalty, that’s a pretty big damn difference in it’s application.

You are a low life piece of shit. These woman are being murdered because they had sex and you try to tie this into the US?
Kill yourself.

No. One can’t possibly compare the judicial in the two countries. However, the OP bitched about the underrepresentation of men in this batch which I find quite hypocritical.
Besides, we all know this crap is about Iran’s consistent defiance of US’ hegemony. Saudi Arabia engages in much worse (particularly vis-a-vis women). Yet, the Al-Sauds seem to be your politician’s best pals.
If you want to discuss the aberrations of the Iranian legal system for what they are, be my guest. But if all I’m offered is the kind of one-liner from the OP, I will take it literally. I will also assume that it’s more fuel for the camp that wants to see Iran blown to bits and/or invaded.
So do make an argument other than “Iran sux more balls than the US” 'cause that ain’t really news to anyone. We’ll take it from there.

What’s wrong with wanting evil people to suffer?
Tribunal lixy
“Iran sux more balls than Paris Hilton”
Well Lixy, FWIW, I’d personally like to see all the countries in that part of the world wiped off the map once all the normal productive people move out.

Regardless of what else he’s said, Lixy keeps bringing this up, and no one has addressed it yet.

Habibi how can you make such a comparison? There is such a big difference between murder and adultry your comparison makes no sense.
You are consistent though. Whenever someone points out some fucked up behaviour by the Iranians you immediately jump to their defense and try to blame America for something.
Your thinking is so one sided and defensive of things that you must know are wrong. I never thought I would say this but I am starting to feel sorry for you.

The Saudi’s are amongst the most vile people on the planet. They are a huge problem. They need to be contained. Possibly exterminated. The sooner we can move to alternative sources of fuel the better. I would sorely love to see them handled.
The Saudis are able to do enough diplomatically that they can game the system. But if we do anything other than engage in diplomacy then we are the bad guy and people like you will come out and cry us a river about big bad America being the bully. Or go off on some rant about the military industrial complex.
Plus there is the whole aspect of muslims like you who will mindlessly jump to the defense of the Saudis because that it’s the ummah being attacked.
This is where you are disingenuous Lixy. You say you would love to see the Saudis attacked but as soon as it happened you muslims would all be calling for jihad against the great satan to defend the holy sites.

Oh, it has been dealt, more than once.
A trade/national security relationship with SA - regrettable, but a function of the Cold War - isn’t an endorsement of their barbarism.
But, over time, we’ve learned that a divorce is necessary - but a smart, efficient divorce. We are seeing some of that now.
And it has little to do with condemnation of Iran - just another uninformed distraction provided by Lixy.

How can anyone say the Saudis are any worse than the radical Shia in Iran? Perhaps the reason IS the crap about Iran’s consistent defiance of the US. . .
In otherwords, we can rip on the Saudis and even the Shah of Iran because they are and were friends of the US. But when the radical Shia get in control of Iran how come their actions are seen as being ok?
Either the actions are ok or they are not.
I can bring up the genocidal Russians who are friends with the Iranians, but then I would have to question the sincerity of the whole Iranian “Islamic Revolution.”
Why would Iran ally themselves with a nation who slaughtered more muslims than any other in history?
To achieve hegemony over the Sunnis and restore Persia to its former glory.

Do you really want to compare the fairness of the U.S. judicial system with Iran’s? LOL! You’re a card!
You know I do not recall a single woman being killed by the U.S. judicial system for adultery. Point → U.S.
