And once again it is the women of Iran, especially the poor and uneducated who are “sacrificed” to fulfill the blood lust of the Iranian extremists. Eight of the nine are women, I’m not one bit surprised.

Shadi Sadr from the Volunteer Lawyers’ Network, which is representing the women, said: “We are very worried as there are at least eight women and one man with a definitive verdict which can be carried out any moment.

Please help stop this horrific facet of Iranian Sharia Law!

“There are no guarantees that the punishments will be halted or commuted.”
She called on the international community to back their efforts, adding: “We are in close touch with human rights organisations and many of them have supported our campaign.”
Fellow defence lawyer Mariam Kian-Arsi said: “Our specific and clear demand is to have the stoning sentence stopped by Ayatollah Shahroudi since the defendants are liable to be stoned at any moment.”
Women ‘poorly represented’
In theory the penalty of stoning to death applies to both men and women.
But the lawyers say that in practice, many more women than men receive the sentence because they are less well educated and often poorly represented in court.
Human rights group Amnesty International earlier this year called on Iran to abolish “this grotesque punishment” and said many facing execution by stoning were sentenced after unfair trials.
Under Iran’s strict penal code, men convicted of adultery should be buried up to their waists and women up to their chests for stoning. The stones used should not be large enough to kill the person immediately.

The Israeli intelligence assessment has determined that Damascus and Teheran believe that Bush’s successor would either reject or suspend any U.S. plan to destroy Iran’s nuclear weapons infrastructure. The assessment said Iran and its Middle East allies were rooting for the victory of Sen. Barack Obama.

Yadlin said Iran and Syria have not completed their rearmament effort. He said both countries were acquiring advanced Russian platforms and weapons and would need until at least 2009 to absorb them into their militaries.

Over the last year, Iran and Syria have been deploying a range of Russian air defense systems. Officials said they included the S-300 for Iran, the TOR-M1 and the Pantsyr-S1E.

Yadlin said the prisoner exchange with Israel in mid-July could encourage Hamas and Hizbullah to stage a provocation. He said Hizbullah could again try to abduct Israeli soldiers along the Lebanese border.

“We have intelligence indicating terror activities are possible both on the northern and southern fronts,” Yadlin told the Cabinet. “Hizbullah may choose to use one of their still disputed subjects, such as the Shebaa Plateau or [Hizbullah operational chief] Imad Mugniyeh’s assassination.”

For me, this only makes it even more imperative that Ahmadinejad and the Mullah’s be removed before the chance of an Obama victory. It may be the only thing I’ll ever agree on with the Iranian Theocracy, but I too believe that Obama will follow a path to appeasement. This would lead to a nuclear armed Iran and at that point the chances of regime change will diminish drastically.

An Obama victory could very well bring on the Nuclear Armageddon the Iranian Mullah’s and Ahmadinejad crave. If you have any doubts about the ideology of this crazed Theocracy than you must read this article by Matthias Kuentzel.

The bill deals with a variety of issues including the Islamic practice of polygamy. Under current legislation in Iran, a man has to get the consent of his current wives before he marries another. Under the new law, this consent is no longer required. “The new law on the family will take our country back centuries,” said the Iranian feminist Nahid Mirhaj, in an interview with Adnkronos International (AKI).

“We will not accept this return to the Middle Ages under any circumstances,” she said. [Source]

Ahmadinejad has interpreted the international court’s verdict against the Sudanese president as a pretext to divide the largest African country into pieces.

“Colonialist powers want to cut Sudan into pieces in their own ways, they want to prevent this country from having a constructive role in Africa and the Islamic world… There are people who have not responded to hundreds of crimes committed by Saddam and the recent bombing of a wedding ceremony in Afghanistan”, said Ahmadinejad. [source]

They did not respond to crimes committed by Saddam? I thought he was hung. Afghanistan? I thought there was a coalition force over there. Sudan’s government is responsible for over 400,000 killings in Darfur. There is nothing biased about this verdict - it was long overdue.

Study your history.

The late Egyptian president and Third World hero, Gamal Abdel Nasser, made the mistake of setting in motion a deadly dynamic that he could not control. The result was the Six-Day War, during which, Egypt’s air force was destroyed.

Israel will not ignore your repeated provocations and threats. Your formidable missile arsenal appears to be a deterrent to military action aimed at eliminating your nuclear arms program. But your missiles are vulnerable. And your nuclear weapons have yet to be developed.

The Jewish state, reborn in the aftermath of the Holocaust that you deny, will not cooperate in its own destruction. You are playing for time and playing with fire–nuclear fire.

“We want to tell the world that those who conduct their foreign policy by using the language of threat against Iran have to know that our finger is always on the trigger and we have hundreds and even thousands of missiles ready to be fired against predetermined targets, Gen. Hossein Salami, commander of the Revolutionary Guard ground forces, said on state TV.” source

Iran’s Revolutionary Guards have begun a military exercise and issued a warning that Israel and U.S. naval forces in the Persian Gulf would be prime targets if Iran is attacked. The Web site of the elite Iranian force posted a statement late Monday announcing the military drill, which it said involved “missile squads,” but did not say where it was taking place. Iran’s guards and national army hold regular exercises two or three times a year, but the statement did not say whether this drill was one of them or if it was a special exercise. full article

The tension is really building up.

There is a lot of news today about the soon to come attack on Iran. I believe Israel and the United States (with UK and France?) will attack Iran’s nuclear facilities within the next 2 months.
