TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — An Iranian-Dutch woman detained after participating in protests against Iran’s disputed presidential election in 2009 has been hanged.
Zahram Bahrami’s execution appears to have been punishment for a conviction on other charges. State television says she was hanged Saturday for possessing and selling drugs.
The report said that initially she was arrested for committing “security crimes,” but it did not say what became of that case.
The protesters who took to the streets after President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s re-election said the voting was marred by fraud and that opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi was the rightful winner.

I wonder what the crime problem is like in Iran? Wonder if they are able to walk down the street at night without having their women raped robbled and slaughtered?————————————When their women are raped, the women are the ones who are put to death. There’s one difference between us and them.

Posted on January 30, 2011 at 11:45amWell let’s see… I can say what I want with out being hung for it. I can bring my children up to be what ever they want to be. I can make as much money as I want. I can choose my religion with out fear. I can watch TV, surf the internet, cruise main street, etc. The government can’t knock my door in to “see” what I am up to. I can own my own home. The key here is I have the choice. Take your tail to any of those countries and see what they will allow you to do…
The only issues we have is that We the People need to stand up and take our country back and enforce the Constitution as it was meant to.

Posted on January 30, 2011 at 11:34amHi Chill. I’m a red state Conservative Christian. I love GB and the US Constitution. GB urges us to question all things boldly.. I agree with him. I question the merits of Multiculturalism and Diversity in America above all. I believe we have been duped and I if (white) America had all the information I believe they would agree. The reason America does not have all the information… “Jewish controlled Media!” America is heading down the path which Russia was taken down in 1917.. Better read, question and understand what is behind this movement. Since I know that you won’t do that let me give you a hint.
Report Post »GB recently got into troulbe from a Jewish group because they pointed out that 9 out of the 10 people which GB listed as most detrimental to our Republic over the past 100 years were Jews.. Now GB loves Jews and wishes to not point this out.. But I tend to question boldly why GB would want to hide this crucial info from America… Don’t you? lol
Please if you hate what I have to say… Just answer the arguments.. Stay on topic. .No name calling and such. If you can.

I have had a very STRONG suspicion that many, many of the protesters (and instigators) in the Egyptian streets are from IRAN….doing what they can to keep the riots going. For an agenda??? Absolutely, unequivocally, most assuredly yes.

Posted on January 30, 2011 at 10:28amWatch, before the end of this year, Iran will either be a direct threat to the American homeland, or will have already been responsible for a horrific attack on us.
Our honor and dignity are going to be our undoing. It has been going on for many years and the end is in sight.
We are not dealing with sane and rational mentalities, and treating them as such is foolish. Remember what Glenn said about thinking out of the box. Learn about these people and their worldveiw and you will no longer be able to look at things the same way again.

Posted on January 30, 2011 at 2:45pmYes, may God have mercy on her, but it is never a good idea to sell drugs in Iran, if in fact she was. Too bad we stood by and did nothing when the Iranians were protesting against there repressive government and calling for regime change and freedom. I think Reagan would have done it differently than Obama.
