How do you place this repressive conservative government on liberals? That makes no sense. You’re twisted. How do you measure our failings and our violation of human rights against a country that also violates human rights? Because they violate them worse? That’s how you measure our success by matching it ups against another’s failings? No wonder the US is doomed.

We should do the same thing to the petulant child in the White House.

“The House of Representitives

The regressives have a cumpulsive need to say something about their failures at govt. whenever they say something….kinda like a tic

Karon, So sad that you turned out to be such a loser.Your poor parents must be so disappointed in your dumb ass.

hitting her bare flesh and especially oh heavens help this poor woman if the lash happens to fall directly or even close to her private areas. The woman will create a flood bigger than the one that Noah’s Ark had to deal with .

She went against the LAWS of her country! She deserves every bit of it, its the same as us arresting a person for running around naked!

Retarded fuck up niggers like you need to fucking DIE

they’re both wrong…. seems like the same mentality that supports water boarding could also find a way to justify this

You have no clue what you are talking about…. Feminists are the primary group who have spoken out about these kind of things happening to women…get your head out of your butt and actually see… and your knowledge of what American feminism is and has been about (“bra-burning stereotypes) is laughable and pathetic…I feel sorry for any females associated with you.

They don’t lash them..they just turn the IRS onto them and uncover something deep and dark in their historical accounting records.. and they wind up rotting in Jail for 10 years or more. When they finally are released, they spend the rest of their lives trying to understand why they went to prison in the first place….

Sharia Islam, particularly in Iran, is run by 7th century clerics with little real world education. These village-born pathological maniacs are what is wrong with Islam today!

American liberal feminists will react by averting their eyes.

Oh. Never mind then.
It’s compassionate lashing.

I have heard conservative feminists speak of the horrors of the Muslim culture, but I don’t know of any liberal feminists who do so.
Do you have some examples of liberal feminists speaking out strongly against Islamic gender apartheid? I’d like to think that this is a non-partisan issue, but I’ve seen how the “free Palestine” movement tends to ignore Islamic oppression, in order to promote the president’s religion of peace lie and hide the true nature of Islam.

Ok I got your link to ms. Magazine. I looked through all 289 links and it appears that this issue vanished with the coronation of Barack Obama. Very few links since 2008.
I am more convinced than ever, that liberal women don’t care about this at all.
Pathetic. No wonder you want to blow me off. You got nothing.
One article referred to gender apartheid at Augusta national!
This is just not an issue with liberals. Thanks for the link. Most leftists just spew and leave.

Waterboarding was done to three very stubborn and very evil men. They talked and their confessions led to the killing of OBL and thwarted future attacks.
The lashing of this woman was for disobeying the psychotic edicts of a seventh century misogynist, pedophile, and murderer.
If you see moral equivalence, you need a therapist.

BLACK AND WHITE THINKING IS WHAT YOU, SIR, ARE A VICTIM OF…nobody is equating these things at all !!

It’s clear you’re not someone who worries about trying to be rational. Because two things are both wrong does not imply they’re similar.

I’d recommend taking a logic 101 course but of course you are someone who always must be right, even when you’re wrong, so it’s foolish of me to think you might actually “get” anything…

I know when something’s hopeless, so won’t be wasting anymore of my time.

I think he has an ulterior motive with the bra-burning.

So? This is 2013 and Marzieh would be better off if the Shah was still here. Besides, who says that Khomenei and his supporters would have hated the successors of secular Mossadegh any less than they hated the Shah?

No, it would be the same as us arresting such a person and then torturing her until she is near death. In other words, very different.

Here’s the West’s problem…wanting to be safe haven for people that want to escape that hell, but at the same time finding out that this compassion ends up proving a Trojan horse for that same radical Islamic danger that threatens us all.

I had heard that there is a great deal of racism against black people in Islamic countries. Apparently it’s true…

This sentence was overturned on appeal, as reported by the HuffPo on 10/29/2011. No lashes, and she was released from jail. Not that I think lashing isn’t utterly barbaric, but it would be nice if web sites would remove links to this now defunct story.
