2. This woman is a Turk. Iran is oppressing its Turk minority.
D. ,   Azerbaijan   (09.07.10)
About 40percent of Iran is ethnic Turk. As opposed to Kurds, Armenians and Jews in Iran, Turkish minority has no rights. Turks in Iran are oppressed culturally, legally and politically. Turkish lands of Iran were a part of Azerbaijani Turkish state but together with Russia and Armenia, Iran is oppressing Azerbaijan and Iran's Turkish minority. Their only luck is that Turks in Iran never embrace terrorism as opposed to Iran's terrorist Kurdish organizations. Turkey's PM is silent over the oppression of Turks in Iran as he doesn't even feel a Turk and he is a friend of oppressive Iran.

4. Dramas and False Claims
Alice ,   Oceana   (09.07.10)
This son makes dramatic claims every time he speaks. It is most unfortunate that he and her lawyer are contradicting each other over the story of the photo supplied, which turned out to be a different woman. Anyway, this spokesperson is walking back from the claim that she was sentenced to be lashed because a photo of her appeared in a London newspaper. He now says vaguely that he heard that she had received a lashing. Yesterday, the New York Times did ask Iranian sources in Tabriz about this, and they denied that any such flogging had been carried out. There is a touch of Kuwaiti baby incubators about this story.
5. #2 D. Azerbaijian
Hal ,   Usa   (09.07.10)
Keep telling the truth D. Some of the Turkish posters here evade the truth you speak in order to blame Israel for the woes of the Middle East. BTW, Erdogan is an Arab wannabe. He it taking Turkey down a road they will regret.
6. WHAT ABOUT THE GUY
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (09.07.10)
What happened to the man she had sex with? Are we to believe she raped him? We all know how it works there, in their male dominated culture. The guy probably forced her, either physically or using some leverage he had over her. He got caught by his wife, so she dies? Makes sense to me? I'll tell you these are most insecure guys I ever met. I used live in Detroit, where the largest Arab population in the country lives. I met these guys at the bars. The biggest punks in the world. If they bought a women a drink, they thought they owned her. When the woman got up and said see ya later, they would all surround her and start yelling at her in Arabic. We all thought it was kind of funny, they were not used to women saying "No" to them. But that was at first, later during that summer, the U.S. guys got annoyed with their constant yelling at women. It turned into a bar room brawl one night, we kicked their punk butts. Ripped up the whole bar.
7. #4 What's wrong with this picture, Alice?
Cynthia ,   USA   (09.07.10)
Sakineh previously received her punishment of 99 lashes for adultery. She then served five years in prison. Once she completed her sentence, the Regime decided to stone her, Her lawyer said she was innocent of all crimes. They arrested her lawyer along with his family and threatened them to back off this case. Her lawyer escaped to Norway and his family recently joined him. Media attention forced the Regime to postpone the stoning but now they want to extend the brutal punishment. The Regime refuses to release her even though she has been whipped, imprisoned and served beyond her sentence. All the while, clerics condone temporary marriage in Iran to allow men the opportunity for adultery.
8. Moslem Protest Movement ,only against Jews?

10. #9 Iran most brutal primitive regime
