STOP PUTTING LIES IN MY MOUTH LUSTY!!!! WHERE DID I SAY I BELIEVE OR SUPPORT SHARIA LAW???? HOW COULD I SUPPORT OR BELIEVE IN SHARIA LAW IF I AM A CHRISTIAN????
Every sovereign nation has the right to establish laws they see fit even if they don't agree or coincide with our laws. If Iran wants to establish a Theocracy and want to stone people for adultery or cut off thieves hands for stealing than so be it.
Your problem Lusty is that you expect every country in the world to establish and adopt our same laws and ideals. For example, in Russia the police our allowed to shoot first ask questions later- they(Russian police) can pull you over and beat you to a pulp and say oh sorry wrong person and you can't sue them- hey you may not like it but that's the rule/law in THEIR country. I asked you again were those juveniles innocent people or did they commit some type of crime. In the U.S if a 15 year old was to rape a woman he would probably get juvenile detention and a blemish on his record in Iran they hang the bastard. It's not Iran's fault that the U.S is soft on crime. Barring a person being mentally ill do you think a 15 year old doesn't know rape is wrong???? Also, there has been cases where Iran has overturned an execution because the person was deemed mentally ill- stop distorting the truth as if Iranians are cold blooded killers just lusting to execute someone.
Why did Jesus get executed??? Whom did he kill? Whom did he rape?? No one- he was executed for "blasphemy" right? Imagine if that were the case today- how many agnostics/atheist would be executed? Stop using our laws to justify how others are sentenced in their respective countries.
I would like you to apologize for ASSuming I am a muslim and saying I support Sharia law.

Here's a link to the UN's Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Those aren't my “laws and ideals” - they're supposed to be globally shared. That's why they are considered "universal". I fully admit the Shah violated those human rights. Why can't you likewise admit the mullahs are guilty of the same bad behavior? Why do you have to double down on stupid by stretching and straining to find reasons to give them a pass?

WE, are you even aware of how often you contradict yourself? A few posts ago you told me we shouldn't support brutal dictators like the Shah. Now you insist “every sovereign nation has the right to establish laws they see fit even if they don't agree or coincide with our laws”. I am sure when the Shah jailed and suppressed his opponents he did so pursuant to his own laws at the time. So please explain - on what basis do you assert the right to criticize him? Doesn't the same principle you cited for the mullahs also shield the Shah from criticism? And while we're at it, would you care to defend the Nazis using that argument? After all, Germany was a sovereign nation implementing its own laws when it persecuted the Jews, right?
Your attempt to defend Iran's execution of children is even more preposterous. According to Human Rights Watch, Iran accounted for over 80% (26 of 32) of all the children executed by governments world-wide since 2005. Incredibly, you defend that by saying “It's not Iran's fault that the US is soft on crime.” Wow, really? Look at the numbers again – over 80%! Iran is the one with the problem. It's out of sync with the rest of the world, including other Muslim nations. When it comes to not killing juveniles, the US has it right.
P.S. Sorry WE, no apology is due. I never called you a Muslim or suggested you are anything other than a very confused and conflicted Christian.
