Blinding of an attacker in Iran

[frankiej]

But then your no better than he is.

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.

Yes, perhaps my statement probably wasn't the right one, I accept that and apologise for it.
Yes I would assume you are better than him, but i simply say that puting him to death is wrong, as is burning his eyes off his freaking face.

I hope the fact that the blinding has been postponed is a sign that the country wants to come out of the dark ages.

I would hope so, but it seems unlikely while religion is still intertwined with state.
