An eye for an eye. Some idiots take this to heart and they generally follow the self-proclaimed religion of peace. >From >theDailyMail<http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1337957/Eye-eye-Iranian-man-sentenced-drops-acid-poured-face-blinding-lovers-husband.html> : *An Iranian man who blinded his lover's husband is to suffer a similar fate in a tit-for-tat sentencing - by having acid poured into his eye.* Will they shout Alluhu Akbar when they carry out this torture? Iran’s *Islamic code *allows for ‘an eye-for-an-eye, a tooth-for-a-tooth’ retribution - known as 'qisas' - in cases of violent crime. The convict, named only as Mojtaba, threw acid in the face of his rival Alireza, a taxi driver, after an illicit affair with the victim’s wife, Mojdeh. All three are 25 and live in Qom, Iran’s clerical nerve centre 60 miles south of the capital, Tehran. The grotesque penalty was passed by a lower court and upheld by Iran’s supreme court, a government daily, Iran, reported this weekend. The Qom prosecutor, Mostafa Barzegar Ganji, said the victim had used his right to qisas. 'We have asked for forensic specialists to oversee the blinding of the convict,' he added. Extreme punishments can be waived if the victim chooses to accept 'blood money' in reparation, and ‘eye for eye’ punishments are rarely carried out. Similarly in capital cases, there have been several instances in Iran and Saudi Arabia where a convicted murderer’s life has been spared at the eleventh hour when their victim’s family has shown mercy. Qisas sentences infuriate local reformists and are invariably branded as an 'abhorrent' form of 'judicial torture' by international human rights groups. The U.N. put Iran on the Commission on Women's Rights. This is the world we live in where folks have to appease a backwards regime out of fear of being labeled Islamophobic.
