Was your Iranian source someone who would be privy to the data necessary to reach such a conclusion?

Or is your Iranian source the lady you play Poker with on Facebook?

No poker.

I just remembered I read something the other day that makes me think the alternative may be hanging.

I heard that too.

Problem is that one cannot change the mind of a robot-chop like Ahmedinejad without first changing that of his controller Khamenei (an even more irretrievable chop).

PS - Sodomy laws and discrimination against gays in the US is Biblically based, too.

I'll tell you what else, evi. When I was a young adult, the newspaper, the Washington Post, divided job postings by race and sex. White women, White men, "Colored" women and "Colored" men all had their categories limiting the types of jobs they could apply for. We could not shop on Sunday; stores had to be closed by law. There were many places we could not go or eat or lodge at when traveling because we were not "White enough" or "Christian". Churches were, and remain, the most racially segregated places in most towns. The death penalty, based on an eye for an eye, was disproportionately alloted to Blacks. Muslim children were routinely removed from Muslim parents to be raised as Christians by "wholesome" Christian families. The same was done to Native American children, condoned by the government that allowed Christian missionaries to run roughshod over their reservation charges, Much of this debasement was shared by Jews, also the "Other", who bonded together with other minority groups and rebel Christians to try to change things for the better.

I remember this about Christian America of my youth, and I'm only 59 years old. I'm also Arab, and I know how hypocritical it is to denounce my faith, which most non-Muslims know so LITTLE about, when there was so much wrong done in the name of Christianity in my lifetime, not just in the US, but in other Christian dominated countries, like South Africa.

Denial is a luxury not everyone has access to.

It sounds like you grew up in Mississippi! Although I know my wife and I drove through Appalachia a while back and when we stopped in a gas station the hillbilly almost passed out and died of a heart attack when she seen us.
