1. glad i am not an iranian
(07.26.08)
they would most likely find someway to put people to death on some trumped up charge if they re thought to be dissendents
2. Iran tries to copy us
mike honcho ,   ny,usa   (07.26.08)
We have been hanging homosexuals alot longer then iran. Plus we punish arab terrorist families for being terrorist. We punish innocent families for being related to that person, maybe we can hang israeli murders families for being related because they support murderers.
3. AND I AM GLAD YOU ARE NOT A DRUG SMUGGLER AS WELL...........
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (07.26.08)
Because if you are,you dont need to be an Iranian to part with the society which tends to keep the drugs away from human beins.Probably,you have never seen or heard what harm the drugs have caused to the society.
4. as my old grandma used to say
rashid ,   palistinian   (07.26.08)

5. This is the true face of
Raptor ,   Israel   (07.26.08)
progressive Islam, of humane Islam, of peaceful Islam, of Islam that has high regard for human life and respect for human rights. Religion, all religions can lead man to unreasonable and inhumane behaviour and acts. Religion is one of man's lesser inventions. Acts such as this are the living proof.
6. #3: And what about the "illegal relationships"?
(07.26.08)
Do you want your government to execute you because you had a relationship with a woman before getting married? Wake up.
7. a
(07.26.08)
barbaric regime barbaric justice system barbaric religion barbaric prison system barbaric mullahs i pity a regime that fears its constituents and public and citizenry and tries to keep them in line through fear and repression. hanging people in a town square belongs to the 7th century, not to the 21st century. the mullahs do it for everyone to see so that they can be frightened and as a result, controll the masses who do not support them. fear works its magic with these kinds of regimes because if they have freedom, the mullas know they stand no chance to even continue living in iran, much less ruling it. this modus operandi happens in each and every fascist arab regime in every muslim arab country. no wonder the arabs belong in the 7th century and the iranians the same. DISGUSTING! and this is a nation that compalins about israeli human rights? give me a break! what modern country ever hangs people in the public square. only inhuman ones such as iran. down with this regime. free iranians.

70% of that iranian society is under 30 years of age. 30 years of age!!!! 70% of them are unemployed! 50% of them are heavy drug users and addicts. 100% of them hate this regime and want their freedom. 100% of them would like to have a nice relationship with the west and secure their future, not through the bomb, but through being inducted again with the nations of the world. most of them love the usa and its lifestyle compared to wjat most have to go through in iran right now. you have a fascist totalitarian regime over there that controls the press (no free speech), controls the fashion (decency police on streets arresting people), controls the media (via lies and half truths or twisting truths), controls the prisons full of dissidents and freedom seekers that do not agree with the direction the mullahs are taking, etc... do you know why they barbarically hang people in the town square for all to see? BECAUSE THIS IS HOW THEY CONTROL THE MASSES; THROUGH FEAR AND RESPRESSION. which country that is advanced and free and modern thinking and humane hangs people, no matter their crimes, in a public square??? which country does things like these? it is not necessary to show everyone these corpses, no matter what crimes they committed. it is disgustingly barbarian! the sane people of the 21st century do not do things like in the 7th century. when we condemn our murderers to death, they are given fair trials and imprisonment. when it comes time for the death row inmates to end their lives, we, in the sane world, do it with dignity to the human being. we do not parade our murder corpses for the public to say. where is the humanity in this? children and women and others are in the watching crowd. children should be protected from vile sights such as these. hangings can be done discretly in the prison. they don't need to flaunt this barbaric act in front of the world. drugs in the usa and all over the sane world cause harm too. however, you do not see, ever, a modern civilized society killing these people in plain view of others, do you? i don't expect you to understand this since you belong to this backwards mentality and therefore do not see anything wrong with the barbaric way of exposing the dead in public squares. it's no wonder...the elite and intelligentzia of iranian society has left iran for a better civilized life in the usa, israel and europe. the remainer over there are people such as yourself, an arab, to whom the sight of blood is orgasmic and spells justice. i pity you. no wonder all of you are so backwards, so primitive and so uneducated. a society of hoodlums and gangs, where law and order comes through fear and opression.

(07.26.08)
apart from the drug dealers, do you feel adultry is a criminal offense? does it deserve stoning or hanging? does a person's private individual conduct and choice in lovers or marriage, a matter for the state and court to judge? do these women or men that may not be happy in marriage and choose solace outside of it, to be killed and hanged for their preferences? after all, these adulterrors are not endangering the iranian society, do they? their conduct is not akeen to drug dealing, is it? why hang them? becaue the kuran says so? because muhammad, god spit on him, says so? what civilized judicial system follows the rantings of a murderer of people, an infantile sexual pervert marrying a 9 years old, a war monger who vows ot slay htose who do not profess islam? is this your justice system?
10. Iran's Judicial - with blood we will conquer
charlot   (07.26.08)
A ) Getting rid of 30,300, or 3000 murderers & drug traffickers is great. Killing for illegal relatioship is PLAIN murder but, being Islam's expertise, no surprises there -- great OP for the media, the world will rejoice. B ) Making a spectacle of the above,as Islam's favorite passtime, is also great education for children -- killing, bloodletting is after all great conversation at meal time. C ) Now as children grow up, like all generations before them, they fine tune, improvise, improve their skills from lessons learned from parents, teachers, religion IE: throat slashing live females only - stoning live females only - acid disfiguration live females only, and more TNTC. D ) Am I to assume that raping is a form of accepted relatioship in Iran? since it is not on the list above. AH! Ahmadinejade, Allah's favorite son ( one of them anyway ) continue your good work. With the support of your Mosques, Imams, Mullahs and the rest of your gang , when your time comes, you will get your well deserved 72 whores An Impartial observer ...!
11. Iranian "justice"
Fun ,   France   (07.26.08)
Mahmood, Iran doesnot jhang only drug dealers, Iran hangs people oppose dto their regime, but also homosexuals, stone to death adulterous womens, broke the hands of poor childrens who stole food to eat (Wealthier one can pay fines to mullahs gangs) etc.. Iranian justice is at level of Nazi justice, so don't come up to defend them.
12. teen hanging
observer   (07.26.08)
France expressed grave concern over the imminent death sentences for two teenagers, Behnood Shojaee and Mohammad Fadaei. Both were under 18 at time of the alleged crimes.
13. To all defenders of Human Rights :
Robert Bernier ,   Tel Aviv   (07.26.08)
You should have the courage to denounce and to fight the real fanatics, to defend the real victims of cruelty, perversion and abuse of power as shown at : http://xrl.us/biz87
14. At least They Punish The Criminals and Not Their Families
Johan Odin ,   Oslo, Norway   (07.26.08)
There are some regimes out there that not only kill the criminals, but also destroy the homes of their families. I also seem to remember that the USA also executes its murderers as well, although it allows drug dealers, pedophiles and rapists etc. to wnater freely
15. i want each and everyone
(07.26.08)
to innundate the un with letters of protest posted to ban ki moon. oops! sorry, he's too busy denouncing israeli "atrocities" against the poor starving "palestinians". some un for you, ha?
16. To Rashid from Gaza
PalestinianChristian   (07.26.08)
You are wright my friend. It would be a good thing that 30 hangings took place every day in Gaza. And even 300 a day. You watch internet: you hang, why not ! Bye the way, yourself, little hypocrite, don't you use internet to write your nonsense to the Jerusalem Post ?
17. In Iran, no noose is good noose.
Alan ,   SA   (07.26.08)

MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (07.26.08)
As you know nothing of it,it seems.
19. LEARN WHAT HUMAN RIGHTS ARE,FIRST,ROBERT........'13
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (07.26.08)
Then start worrying about what human rights violations are supposedly taking place in Iran.Make sure your over enthusiasm does not lead you to face more obstacles in your own area.
20. Where are the likes of Victor McDiarmid protesting in Iran?
Tahl ,   Israel   (07.26.08)
Oh, I forgot. Israel welcomes "peace activists", Iran hangs them.
21. @2 mike

25. YARON,YOU DO THAT FOR ME FOR A CHANGE......#22
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (07.26.08)
26. What do you expect from barbarians?
Moishe Macher ,   Berlin   (07.26.08)
Thos is normal is totalitarian Islamic States. BTW: It would be good for a civil war to break out in Lebanon as the Govmnt belongs to Hizbollah now. Let nuke Iran and set them back even further.
27. # 14 You're Right We Shouldn't Judge Iran
Bill ,   US   (07.26.08)
These are the crimes and punishments according to the laws of their country. It's their business. Similarly, in the State of Israel the government has decreed that destroying the homes of terrorist's families is how they'll go about curbing their suicide terrorist problem. Is it the best way? Maybe, maybe not. But if the Arabs don't like the punishment then they shouldn't commit the crime.
28. no big outcry from ISM or the UN or the moslems
JL ,   israel   (07.26.08)
29. #16 Cool off!! Rashid is just joking. He is a good person &
has a sense of humor ,   You don't!! jan, usa   (07.26.08)
30. YES,MOISHE MACHER,YOU CARRY IT.....#26
