robplum: Somebody should rain in Moslem teachings, take responsibility for what there teachings are engaged in. An eye for an eye is same as violence leads to violence, short sighted rubbish that the whole Moslem world should put a stop to that sort of stupidity
This is not Koranic nor Christian teaching; it is Old Testament and Torah. It's origins may have been cultural but it has become part of a religious heritage that others have adopted and used for varied reasons, but usually by minorities of different sects while totally ignored and/ or rejected by others. I cannot imagine any Sufi for example using this 'eye for an eye' teaching or following an order to carry it out unlike when the directors and agents of the NKVD that happened to be of Jewish heritage issued directives to Soviet troops to take when they reached Berlin at the close of WW2.In fact there is a book entitled An Eye For An Eye about this gruesome directive and its consequences.
One of the biggest bugbears the Muslim world has, and what is behind alot of the resentment and hatred toward the Western World is because of their relentless desire to 'interfere" with other countries' ways.
What happens in Iranian law may be terrible to us, and I personally think this is awful, but when it comes down to it its nothing to do with us at all.
solsticemoon: Hey Im not moslem but if someone did that to my daughter Id be more than happy to be allowed to do it in return! I did wonder when religion would get bought into the question..doesnt take long!

Rumyet: thats obvious.but dont u see in the polls that western people usually support such punishments too,wishing they had such punishments in their country too.to save taxpayers money on long jail terms
yes but supporting them and implimenting them as a law are totally different

Azerbaijan, Baku, May 10 / Trend / A man who blinded his lover with sulfuric acid will be punished, asriran.com reported. Iranian citizen Majid splashed sulfuric acid in his lover Amana Bahrami’s face in 2004, blinding her. According to the Iranian court’s decision on Saturday, Majid will be punished. Sulfuric acid will be splashed in his eyes. According to the information, Majid made Amana a proposal to marry him in 2004. Amana refused and Majid splashed sulfuric acid in her face. Amana appealed to court.
Sulfuric acid cases for such purposes have become frequent in Iran over the past few years. The Iranian court has started to pass "revenge" sentences in these cases.[/quote
for me an eye for an eye is the only true justice. if he slashed acid in her face then she should be allowed to splash acid in his face. If it was me I would pour it over his head and then somewhere much more painful. go for it Amana and enjoy.
venusenvy: Its barbaric,primitive and shameful...The whole country should be ashamed..Grow the F up!!!
hiya lovely. eye for an eye is the only language thugs understand and its the only form of true justice. i agree it is barbaric but if the rest of the world handed out true justice the crime rate may drop. sadly the world is to soft on criminals and they have more rights than the victims. if he did that to a family member of mine believe me the acid would not go on the face.

Hi mate.Surely the object of any legal system is to seek justice,not revenge. I would like to see him drink the stuff,but it just puts me where he is. A justice system should be above revenge,otherwise where is the line drawn? If a man is convicted of stabbing another,and is stabbed in return,and later its discovered it was lies,then how does one sort that out? Yes,sentence him to life,hard labour,fine,but to dish out revenge isnt justice in my opinion.

hi mate, i totally agree if you have eye for an eye you have to be 100% with your facts and evidence. some very good points of view, for me providing you are 100% accurate with your evidence eye for an eye will always be true justice for serious crimes murder, physical assult etc.
sam1959: It's their country, their call.untill it spills over into neighboring countries
or how do you call it ??????
Sharia Law is spilling over into other countries and into other legal systems. Several case in the US to site on that. In the UK, some Mosque have their own courts.
One of the more pleasant memories of the bin Laden raid protest...is a radical cleric shouting into the media mic....."America will be Sharia".

Any court taking place in a mosque in the UK is not a legal court.They may do it unofficially,to deal with breaches in thier own religion,but it is certainly not recognised by the legal system in the UK.
