Radical Isalm

I firmly believe that radical Islam is a threat to western way of life and the Christian value system that helped to frame a system of light and liberty. If western nations don't deal with this threat in the next 20 years of so we would regret it. Western nations are bending backwards to accommodate muslims and at the same time penalizing christians for speaking. Freedom of speech seem to be only going one way.If people think that there is room for compromise and accommodation simply wait until the numbers are in their favor. As I write this comment I know that many will take the line of 'Another Hater'

America is not a christian

America is not a christian nation, and despite what you think, christian beliefs should never influence the framework of government, anymore than Islam or Judaism. Freedom of speech means to me that you should be able to express yourself free of disparagement from anyone, and sometimes that includes hateful messages such as this website or the KKK or any other organization.

At the Jamkaran gathering, Mesbah-Yazdi and Ahmadinejad answered questions about the rape and torture charges. The following text is from a transcript alleged by Iranian dissidents to be a series of questions and answers exchanged between the ayatollah and some of his supporters.

Asked if a confession obtained "by applying psychological, emotional and physical pressure" was "valid and considered credible according to Islam," Mesbah-Yazdi replied: "Getting a confession from any person who is against the Velayat-e Faqih ("Guardianship of the Islamic Jurists", or the regime of Iran's mullahs) is permissible under any condition." The ayatollah gave the identical answer when asked about confessions obtained through drugging the prisoner with opiates or addictive substances.

"Can an interrogator rape the prisoner in order to obtain a confession?" was the follow-up question posed to the Islamic cleric.

Mesbah-Yazdi answered: "The necessary precaution is for the interrogator to perform a ritual washing first and say prayers while raping the prisoner. If the prisoner is female, it is permissible to rape through the vagina or anus. It is better not to have a witness present. If it is a male prisoner, then it's acceptable for someone else to watch while the rape is committed."

This reply, and reports of the rape of teen male prisoners in Iranian jails, may have prompted the following question: "Is the rape of men and young boys considered sodomy?"
One aspect of these permitted rapes troubled certain questioners.

Ayatollah Mesbah-Yazdi: "No, because it is not consensual. Of course, if the prisoner is aroused and enjoys the rape, then caution must be taken not to repeat the rape."

A related issue, in the eyes of the questioners, was the rape of virgin female prisoners. In this instance, Mesbah-Yazdi went beyond the permissibility issue and described the Allah-sanctioned rewards accorded the rapist-in-the-name-of-Islam:

"If the judgment for the [female] prisoner is execution, then rape before execution brings the interrogator a spiritual reward equivalent to making the mandated Haj pilgrimage [to Mecca], but if there is no execution decreed, then the reward would be equivalent to making a pilgrimage to [the Shi'ite holy city of] Karbala."

This is what awaits those who don't have the courage and the integrity to stand against those who wish to IMPOSE their will on the REST OF THE WORLD!

In case you're wondering, yes, that does include you and your family.
