I find this blatant disregard for human rights barbaric and revolting.
What do you think should be done about situations like these in "Islamic Countries"?

Well, their legal system is based on a barbaric and revolting religion, but it's their system and they are welcome to it. If this guy wants to throw acid on women he should move to a country with more humane punishments. The article said that the alternative to blinding him, is financial compensation, if that is all the punishment he would get that is not enough for what he did.

Bullets are cheap. Put one in his head and call it good.

In a country like Iran that solution would probably be acceptable, but to simply kill him, I find that wrong.

given the alternative of blinding - i'de say it's rather humane.
Plus, what good is he doing his society? What he did are the actions of a sociopath and a violent arrogant inhuman being. I find him to be repulsive and those who would protect him offensive. Let Iran do whatever they want to him. Nobody's heart ever bleeds for the victim the way it bleeds for the douchebag.

But then your no better than he is. I have no respect for this man but still wouldn't see him put to death, I see very few situations that would warrant that.

hmmm... lets look at this statment alone. I'm no better than he is. Hmmh, Really?
I would argue that I'm already much better than he is.
I don't pray to a god that rewards the maming and killing of innocent people.
I don't practice a religion that condones the brutal torture of your children for the slightest of infractions.
I don't feel some god-given right to physically assault people who don't believe the way I do.
I would never throw flesh eating acid on the face of an individual who simply didn't wish to spend his or her time with me.
As a matter of fact, I feel a bullet in the brain is far more merciful than having your eyeballs burned out of your head with drops of acid. I would opt for the bullet myself, but maybe that's just me.
I feel, that everything I've said in this thread is not only warranted, but has shown that I am most certainly - better than this muslim douchebag is.
However, you certainly do have a right to your opinion - and since you are not a muslim female, I guess I won't burn your face off for it.

I hope the fact that the blinding has been postponed is a sign that the country wants to come out of the dark ages.
 A man is born to a virgin mother, lives, dies, comes alive again and then disappears into the clouds to become his Dad. How likely is that?

Iran, what a country!
The argument of religion providing a good moral and social framework goes out the window when you know what goes on in a country like this that is so heavily influenced by religion in every aspect of the way it is run. Islam rules the way the government, the armed forces, the justice system are all run, and it shows. Just point to countries like this and Saudi Arabia when you are told by a religious person that religion provides a much better moral guide than Atheism.
