Stonings

October 4, 2006 By Mark Draughn Leave a Comment

To: Supreme Iranian Leader Ayatollah Khameini

On this day I beseech you to direct your attention to the fates of seven women of your nation who are to be executed by sangsar (stoning to death) for crimes against chastity.

You can claim it’s an act of governance, and you can claim it’s motivated by religion, but your claims do not change it from what it clearly is: murder.

Any moral system that prescribes the execution of people for consensual sexual behavior—adultry, fornication, homosexuality, prostitution—is self-invalidating and illegitimate on its face. It deserves no respect from anyone.

If you allow this to happen—as I’m pretty sure you will—you will have demonstrated that you and your people are uncivilized, backwards, ignorant, intolerant, and cruel. Your petty, narrow, and heartless morality has no place in the modern world.

You are a monster and a thug who who should never be allowed to have control over the lives of other people. You are a stain on humanity, and I am embarassed for my species that people such as you are given power and respect.

By this murderous act alone, you forfeit your own right to rule. You and your supporters should be removed from this world, much as one would scrape shit from the bottom of one’s shoe.

I am not a warmonger, and I hope the United States does not go to war with Iran. But if we do, I hope the U.S. Air Force blows you cruel bastards into steaming bloody chunks.

Sincerely,

Mark Draughn

Sigh. I didn’t really send that. What would be the point?

Perhaps a more productive approach is to visit this site and follow some of the suggestions there. That’s what I did.
