    Two hours?

    By confirming Saeed Malekpour’s death sentence after an unfair trial, the Iranian authorities are sending a message to Iranians not to freely express their views, or even to help others to do so, including on the Internet,

    According to Wikipedia, the first official use of Great Britain was 1474, roughly 500 years before we abolished the death penalty. So I'm not sure the two things are connected.
    To clarify - its just one of the many Great things Britain accomplished through the ages - I mean what have the Brits ever done for us ?

    Aye Paddy

    They get-around is to bless couples with a temporary marriage lasting two hours.

    I heard the above myself and apparently there is indeed a temp marriage license - I guess it costs a few bob too !!!

    Anyway the above is no surprise as the Koran itself highlights that all man created institutions and Nation States are corrupt - becaise they are not directly from the Devine - and you can find this notion in all the Abrahamic scriptures the Bible and Torah.

    Tricky with the web though. If he put the site up while not in Iran and then returned home, the site still exists so isn't he still committing a crime (if any of it were true)?

    AtW, I would expect you to be in favour of death penalties considering your penchant for guns. No?
    No, I am not in favour of death penalties in general even though some scumbags commit such crimes for which they certainly deserve death.

    No state should have the power of awarding the Death Sentence - Iran nor the USA.

    The UK did the right thing in abolishing the Death Sentence.

    You see thats why we are refered to as Great Britain.
