Iranian First: Mandatory Death Penalty For Apostasy
Used to be up to the judge, or imam cleric ragheaded orangutan, or whoever the fuck presides over them kangaroo courts, to impose a jail term or death.
Now, all convicted of apostasy must die. Bitches!
You Iranians, you’re so free!
The Iranian parliament will mandate the death penalty for citizens who leave Islam, a human rights group announced this week.
For the first time in Iranian history, a proposed penal code demands the death penalty for “apostates,” according to a February 5 statement by the Institute on Religion and Public Policy (IRPP).
“Apostasy was always illegal, but the court could hand down a jail term, hard labor or the death penalty,” said IRPP President Joseph Grieboski. “Now apostasy [would only] get the death penalty.”
Iran has used the “apostasy” law to target Muslim converts to Christianity, liberal thinkers and members of Iran’s Baha’i religious minority.
“This is not something new, they just want to be more harsh towards those who are leaving Islam,” an Iranian pastor told Compass.
No converts to Christianity have been convicted of “apostasy” since international pressure forced officials to drop the death sentence of Christian convert Mehdi Dibaj in 1994. But in the years following the convert’s release, Dibaj and four other Protestant pastors, both converts and those working with converts, have been brutally murdered.
The murderers of the Christians have never been brought to justice. Local believers suspect the government played a role in the killings.
“They began assassinating pastors and Christian workers,” said the Iranian pastor, who requested anonymity. “Legally, they did not take them to court, but they just killed them and said that they hanged themselves and gave some other excuses.”

Sounds like Cuba.
Nobody “dying to get in”. Just dying to get the fuck out …
You want a “Holy War”?
Just keep sending “apostates” up to boot camp. They’ll be riding the lightning down with the “Second Coming in Chief”.

me: Yep The Religion of Peace calls for the death penalty if anyone leaves Islam. To wit:
“But it is not true that Muhammad ordered the execution only of apostates who joined the enemies of Islam. His statement baddala deenahu, faqtuhulu — if anyone changes his religion, kill him — includes no caveat. He didn’t say, “If anyone changes his religion, kill him only if he joins the enemies of Islam.” He simply said, “If anyone changes his religion, kill him.” This statement is amply attested in the Hadith, and is accepted as authentic by all except the most disingenuous Islamic scholars. It appears in various forms in Bukhari, Ibn Majah, An-Nasai, Tayalisi, Malik, Tirmidhi, Abu Dawud, and other authorities. ”
Another reason why Islam is NOT the religion of peace. Hell, it ain’t even a religion. It’s a social order and a philosophy of psychopaths.
Let me close by using a famous Muslim slur (usually directed towards Christians and Jews): “Elif air ab dinich”
My bad. No Arabs in Iraniac. Let’s try Farsi then:
Khak tu saret mahdaarr ghaveh!! Means more or less go die motherfucker.
Yeah, that’s the ticket.
