Quote:Well, at least they found a way to find a cause, like doctors treating AIDS, or hanging homosexuals, that they could rally around. It is lucky for the doctors they were not merely cosmetic surgeons. Now, how do we get them to rally around ending the practice like stoning people who are accused of adultery? It is the cusp of the issue of Shariah Law and its use, as opposed to "western laws" which we are more familiar. We no longer put people in stocks, or "draw and quarter" people, or publicly hang people, or do many of the barbaric punishments that were once practiced in the early US and Europe. How do we get Iran to evolve to a more humane understanding of crime and punishment?
Convince them you are a prophet and rewrite the book?
OK I might be a little too snarky and sarcastic (and actually in a very good mood) today to be involved in a real discussion. :)
