You can find the story here.

One of the petitions that PZ links to is here.

He even has the contact info for the President of Iran.

Another example of this guy's lunacy here.

The poor woman's conviction was based entirely upon a now-recanted "confession" made after being lashed 99 times and nearly killed in the process. And the alleged "crime"? Merely adultery.

Now Iran has sentenced her to be buried up to her chest in sand, and then stoned to death. Let's all make it clear to Iran that all such medieval barbarism must stop!

Done. I hope this works.

Uncertainty may make you uncomfortable. Certainty makes you ridiculous.

Why not question something for a change?

They'll stone you when you're trying to be so good
They'll stone you just like they said they would
They'll stone you when you're trying to go home
They'll stone you when you're there all alone
But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned

They'll stone you when you're walking on the street
They'll stone you when you're trying to keep your seat
They'll stone you when your walking on the floor
They'll stone you when your walking to the door
But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned

They'll stone you when you're at the breakfast table
They'll stone you when you are young and able
They'll stone you when you're trying to make a buck
They'll stone you and then they'll say good luck
But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned

Well They'll stone you and say that it's the end
They'll stone you and then they'll come back again
They'll stone you when you're riding in your car
They'll stone you when you're playing you guitar
Yes But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned
Alright

Well They'll stone you when you are all alone
They'll stone you when you are walking home
They'll stone you and then say they're all brave
They'll stone you when you're send down in your grave
But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned

I would procrastinate but I never seem to get around to it.

Well THoR. As much as I like the above song, do you think that it's appropriate to make light of the actual stoning of a real person? Maybe that's why your video's are such failures. You think you are clever. But you're not...

It's TOR Hershman who does the bad "parody" videos. THoR is the guy who thinks consciousness can only be explained by invoking heretofore undiscovered consciousness particles. To my knowledge, he's been inactive here for several months until I coincidentally mentioned him just yesterday when Farseeker expressed almost identical views.

Done. But I would almost prefer to get my point across with a few well placed cruise missiles. Yeah, I know violence probably isn't the answer, but I am PISSED OFF!

While joining this single cause by signing, I wondered how does this petition address the source of the overlying problem. Which exists in other Islamic countries also. Reality suggests not at all, in the present.
