I am not sure how to start this post. Just seeing how they kill people in Iran and they justify it with Islamic law it makes me sick! It’s barbaric!

I believe that the Islamic Republic of Iran (IRI) government has utilized the death penalty to silence people and spread the fear in our streets and our minds! The group execution method came to Iran with Khomeini. After revolution they killed many innocent people who just didn’t agree with Islamic Republic or they were minorities! Clergies didn’t have much time so they did implement group execution.

They execute people based on Islamic law; the question is why Islam is so harsh and barbaric? Why instead of looking for the root of problems just they kill people and get rid of them? Is it just easier for government to kill people and make them silent? Or just it’s the way it is and it’s something from God? Where is the kindness? Where is compassion to people? What kind of God does order to kill his own creature?

Even if they were criminals, I am sure society is the main factor to lead people to commit criminal activity. Almost in 30 years Islamic government in IRI, with their own utopia about Islamic governance, is this their outcome? To kill people and put any remark on them? How did you treat them while they were normal human in IRI? Why did they choose this path for their own life? what was your fault? what did you do to prevent them? The government should answer to this question instead of killing these people who actually are society mistreatment victims.

I didn’t ask about human rights because I’m sure some people out there would say at that era we didn’t have human right law! It’s something belong to nowadays! But I can say the death penalty is the ultimate violation of the right to life and nobody has the right to violate this right. No god can kill his own creature with some foolish orders!

God is a word, please don’t give me any second hand god just I am tired of it.
