| Iranian killed for talking to his wife in public |
| 2006-11-20 |
| An Iranian university student talking to his wife at a bus stop was murdered by another student upset over a public conversation between the sexes, the ISNA student news agency reported on Sunday. Towhid Ghafarzadeh Nadi was killed in the northeastern town of Sabzevar, where his death prompted a protest march by students, ISNA said. “The murderer questioned the couple over their relationship, which led to a violent scuffle, and the murderer stabbed his victim with a knife,” said the Office for the Consolidation of Unity, a reformist student group. The man later told police that he “had acted because his religious sensibilities were injured by seeing a young man and a young woman talking in public,” the statement added. |

| #5 "injured religious sensibilities" is the exact phrase Moslems are using all over the West to demand privileged treatment at the expense of our freedom. |

| #4 And people consider laws against "public displays of affection" to be barbaric. |
