Religious fanaticism sucks.

It sure does, but nobody should condemm Iranians by actions of a single man or aging religious leaders. Besides, he was sentenced and executed (personally I don't favor death penalty) and according to Guardian he thought government would actually intervene. So much for his illusion of grandeur.

btw, do you know what they do in Iran. Family of a victim can intervene in capital cases and pardon them. I remember one case* where 16 year old boy was almost literally dragged away from the gallows** by a victims father who considered death penalty sentence too extreme.

*If I remember correctly, another boy was killed in a fistfight after hitting his head to a rock when he fell down.

**Not literally gallows since in Iran they do it in reverse style. Criminal is actually lifted up by a crane and dangled over the city.

Note I said religious fanaticism sucks. I didn't say "Iran sucks" or "Islam sucks" or "Christianity sucks" (though both do. Iranian women are hot, though).

Fanaticism in general sucks.
