Woman to be stoned to death in Iran for adultery

[Bleeders]

She's still on death sentence for "crime against God". It's still terrible!

How you can you commit a crime against something that doesn't exist?

Exactly, forced into a religion.

Spot the difference between the two highlighted words, Tom it's not our country, it's not our place to force our laws and morals upon any society that is alien to them



No, it's still law

Iran is in Europe mate, learn some Geography! But seriously, you are right in a way: we should not impose our way of life on anyone else, just as they shouldn't to us. However we are not telling them that they need to do everything we do - I would class stoning to death as torture, and torture should not be permitted in ANY religion/society/culture - it is not right. They can have death sentences for adultery if they want, but to kill them with torture is terrible.

I'd hate to live there then, stoning for little reasons and lashes.

Let god have his say...

oh.

Yeah thats what i thought iran, stop believing in noddy.

What kind of sick death punishment is stoning :S its a tad bit brutal and makes the government even worse than the woman, murder or no murder or w.e

we're going to have to establish a superiority in what we believe are fair rights for citizens of the world

Of course you're absolutely correct, what they believe is not important. Why does this "have" to be done? I'm sure you don't agree when they suggest that it's their duty to spread the teachings and laws of Islam to the entire world. You talk of flawed arguments and then come out with this, dear me.

Fighting for gender equality is not unfair to anyone's way of living

Yes it is if that's not what they as a nation believe in

Fighting for sweatshops and child labour to come to an end is not unfair to anyone's way of living

Yes it is for everyone who makes a profit out of it or would otherwise be without certain items of such production

Fighting for fair criminal consequences is not a breach to the fairness of anyone's lifestyle (if you're going to defend death by stoning or 99 lashes you can just get out of this thread now)

"Fair" is an ambiguous term at any time, and no I will not get out of this thread just for defending a view - if you're going to believe in something so ridiculous as global equality then try accepting freedom of opinion.

Fighting for civil rights, so a kid can go to school all s/he wants, or I can move and get a job wherever and whenever I want to, wear whatever I want to, talk however I want to, make fair life choices is NOT a beach to the fairness of any culture or lifestyle.

I agree that education is important, but absolute freedom of choice does impeach on various aspects of all cultures and lifestyles worldwide.

The sooner that people like you realize that there's absolutely nothing wrong with our governments helping people who need our help (how do I know they need our help? Because they're committing suicide due to their lives sucking).

Iran's suicide ranking is currently the 98th highest in the world. By contrast, the UK are at 66, US at 41 and Canada at 37. Maybe Iran should invade us to save us from our lives "sucking"? Good argument there.

Strange.. we change our country A LOT for other countries.

Yeah let me know when you have a point to go with that.

[Moh]

Yeah let me know when you have a point to go with that.

We change our culture in this country for us, yet if we do it to them people like you complain.

That's odd, the military invasion of England with a view to radically overthrow our entire way of life seems to have escaped my memory

I am going to read this whole thread properly later as I have only read a few posts so far but wanted to reply first:

I laugh when people say we should go in and stop them doing all these things, however people here moan when foreigners come and change even little things. :rolleyes:
Its their country and their laws, people here don't like others coming here, so what right does UK have to go in their country and stop them?
