The Rant

Here is another aspect to the so-called "Culture War." On July 19, 2005, Iranian officials executed two teenage boys in the city of Mashad in northeastern Iran. It was first reported that the boys were convicted of homosexuality. Prior to their execution, the teenagers were held in prison for 14 months and severly beaten with 228 lashes. The executioners, fearing reprisals, wore masks and anti-riot forces were mobilized to prevent outbreaks of public protests. Ironically, the boys were hanged in Edalat (Justice) Square. http://mpetrelis.blogspot.com/

So Who is radical Islam at war with? Israel? America? The West? Anything that is not radically Islamic? Do the Mullahs in Iran have any desire to live at peace with Israel? With the West? Here is one man's point of view. http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=ZWVhMDY5Y2U0M2FiYTgyZGFhZWVhZTJmMzEwM2E1MDk= While there are moderate Moslems out there, they do not seem to be running Iran right now, or have anything to do with Hezbollah. bob
