"The secretary general of Iran’s Human Rights Committee, Dr. Mohammad Javad Larijani declared: The West has had an extensive Propaganda campaign against Iran on Human rights issues; most of which are caused by political incentives.
On the writ of stoning, Dr. Larijani added: "Stoning is neither torture nor an incongruous punishment..."If we had execution as a punishment for adultery instead of stoning, they would again complain that the crime and the punishment are not in proportion with each other-but as you know in Islamic rules, stoning is in lower level than execution because in stoning the defendant has a chance to survive. Besides, we think that the discrimination of insolence of adultery is not on Westerners but on the social norms within our country."
We are tempted to imagine Dr. Larijani (apparently not the recently resigned nuclear negotiator) as the biblical priest from the comedy Life of Brian overseeing a stoning - only to get stoned himself as he indignantly attempts to control the public ritual. Of course, that film is set 2,000 years ago, while Dr. Larijani is issuing declarations in 2007.
Or maybe they'll request Everyday is Like Sunday: "Come, come, nuclear bomb..."
