A blogger in ‘poor psychological condition’ has been sentenced to death after being found guilty of insulting the Prophet Mohammad on Facebook.

According to an ‘informed source’, speaking to the International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran, Soheil Arabi, 30, had kept eight Facebook pages under different names and admitted to posting material insulting to the Prophet on these pages.

Mr Arabi, who was arrested along with his wife in November last year by agents from the Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), is said to have written the “material without thinking and in poor psychological condition”.

Branch 75 of Tehran’s Criminal Court, under Judge Khorasani, found Mr Arabi guilty of insulting the Prophet, or “sabb al-nabi”, on 30 August.

Article 262 of the Islamic Penal Code states insulting the Prophet carries a punishment of death, however, article 264 of the Penal Code says if a suspect claims to have said the insulting words in anger, in quoting someone, or by mistake, his death sentence will be converted to 74 lashes.

The anonymous source claims: “Unfortunately, despite this Article and the explanations provided, the judges issued the death sentence.

mind boggling  :o

And where are the anonymous anti-oppression keyboard revolutionaries coming to defend this poor man? :D

IT'S AMERICA'S FAULT!  BECAUSE WE SUPPORTED THE SHAH!  BECAUSE THEY REACTED TO US BY GOING THE OTHER DIRECTION, FULL TILT CRAZY!  IT'S OUR FAULT BECAUSE EVERYTHING'S OUR FAULT.

We provoked half the population by supporting the government they hated!  We provoked half the population by stopping supporting the government they liked!    We provoked half the population by supporting the government they liked because they thought we were the Great Satan!

Fuck, I am tired of this sort of mindless chatter.

Funny thing is, they are too busy bitching about america to figure out they fucked themselves. Whether it be shah or ayatollah, the real problem is the iranians.

I would not last a week in Iran. lol

And 91 lashes for dancing "Happy" to the other group.
Someone could please tell the Iranian authorities we are in the XXI Century? Those guys seams stuck at XIV Century or something.
Poor Persia!

Probably the sensitivity is necessary because of the many flaws Mohammad obviously had.  But "rational" and "religion" go together only from a study of power, gaining it and keeping it.  The old saw about religion is that it forces you to "believe ten impossible things before breakfast every day". 

There are intrinsic reasons for that.  But I'd still like to hear someone that knows the Muslim culture intimately try to answer your questions.

Does this man know before hand the punishment of his acts? He should go out Iran first before posting this things.

I guess escaping Iran is similar to escaping from Guantanamo prison.

I saw many Iranian students studying in my country. I think there is way to go out iran.

I wonder these things can happen in this democratic era, an era where we are free thinking and expression, this incident should be investigated as deeply as possible, because it concerns human rights, namely freedom of expression, hopefully police can immediately find the killers, and by providing appropriate penalties ...  :o

This is the mindset of the Muslim religion. It is what they practice. If someone is of Muslim faith then they believe it is appropriate sentence for leaving the faith is death.

Freedom of expression is far from what Muslims believe in. Why do you think women need to wear the scarfs over their face/neck?

Cave man mentality for the religion then. Anyone who challenge conventional believe will be sentenced to death.

Earth would still be flat in the eyes of religion.

As crazy as that sounds what you describe is the mentality of the muslum religion. What they believe in is not at all something that people would generally expect in the 21st century

Ever since Jebas turned that water into wine (cuz ma really needed it :o ), its been nothing but alcoholism, child abuse and endless war.

Immaculate conception ? Or was she simply wasted that night.

The Christian religion preaches that Jeasus was conceived prior to jeasus being born. It is preached that jeasus has turned water into wine after he was born, so I don't see how you would imply that Mary (the mother of jeasus would have been "wasted" when he was conceived.

So somebody has to die because they said something negative about The "religion of peace."
