#4 Raptor - I'm unsure - when reading the comments I saw that someone had used the usual Photoshop excuse. I did try to republish the pics here on RB but Fred has a new swish tool to block this.

Do you think it looks more like Iran's answer to David Blaine performing some kind of magic display??

I would be keen to get to the bottom of this as, if true, I need to wave this in the faces of the supposed moderate muslims I talk to who cannot speak negatively about any facet of their religion. I'm sure they would try to justify this as well.

It isn't stretching the imagination

#5 Photoshop job? Go back and look at photo number 3.

Did you read the excuse yesterday given by someone saying that this was a dog and pony show to raise money? My comment was that civilized people would stop a dog and pony show where a car is about to run over an 8 year old's arm. No one would stand around and throw coins out of sympathy. Don't try this at home in the Western world, boys and girls, unless you want to spend time in jail.

He also said that he knew that it wasn't a punishment because there was a soft cloth under the boy's arm. Unbelievable! That alone says so much about these barbarians that I can't even begin to start.

Look, I don't think those photoshopped because you can't photo shop terror and pain into an 8 year olds face that effectively. But even if they did turn out to be photoshopped - what difference does it make. Punishments like this occur to children and women on a regular basis. We just don't get the photos.

#6 I agree with 2b. The "street theater" story can't pass Occam's razor test (hell, it can't pass Occam's butter knife, IMO), and the sequence of photos seems much too detailed for a PhotoShop job. I'm afraid the face-value story is all too plausible.

#7 Oh and he also said, And don't post such things which are to make hate in the hearts of the people rather than sympathy.

To which Robert Crawford's response said it all in a nutshell: There's the nub of it -- "Don't show people what beasts we are."

#9 As the people who run Iran's government are less than human, any action we take against them would be no different than using this :

#10 As to the girl that was murdered by the Magic Mullah who called himself a "judge"...

Ateqeh Rajabi just before her execution.

I think the solution is to publish the picture of the person so-called judge who murdered the girl, a piece of pig manure named Haji Rezaie, who PERSONALLY put the rope around her neck. All the folks in the anti-Magic Mullah resistance who are fighting in that area, should have his photo, so when the revolution comes, he can suffer the same fate as the poor girl who he murdered. Only in his case, leave him hanging up there high so the crows and buzzards can have their fill.
