#1 "They forced me and threatened me to accept to bury her here. Is this Islam?" Ezzat Kazemi told the court.

Yes, that Is Islam. Always has been. Islam != peace, Islam = submission. How many times this has to be repeated before people get it?

Thus spake Zarathustra.

#2 Yes, that is MuslimP-wrists way. acid in little Muslim girls' faces, torture unarmed journalists and truck drivers, crash planes full of unarmed innonocents into buildings filled with innocents, car bomb innoncent Muslim women and childern.

Brave Jihadists. Noble Jihadists.

If this is the work of "allah"...then "allah" is the Anti-Christ or Satan, or both.

#3 Well atleast they didn't put a dog leash on her neck or a jock strap over her head. Has CNN been all over this? Wonder what the Canadians are going to do - is there anything they can do?

This incident did not get as much interest from the Liberals and CBC as the Arar story, the guy who was 'allegedly" tortured by Syria after the US re-patriated him there following "bad guy" heads up from the Cdn. intelligence community.

I think the reason Canada initially gave Iran a tsk, tsk/ slap on the wrist , toyed with kicking out the Iranian ambassador, whatever is because Iran is a valuable ME trade partner with Canada.
So the Canadian gov't didn't want to raise too much of a rucous and lose Iran's market.The photographer's son has kept this story alive so the Canadian gov't is being forced to play "stern" once again. I suspect Candians are pretty circumspect about the lady's murder and think this is par for the course for a ME country. Like what did this Iranian national expect going back to her hellhole birth country and start taking pictures of a prison? Duh???
http://www.dfait-maeci.gc.ca/middle_east/iran_relations-en.aspThe Canada-Iran commercial relationship is healthy. Iran is frequently Canada's largest export market in the North Africa-Middle East region, with two-way trade in excess of $700 million in 2000. Wheat comprises more than two thirds of our exports to Iran (or roughly $500 million), making Iran one of Canada's largest export markets for wheat globally. The Iranians welcome Canadian commercial interest in Iran (including in the important oil, gas and mining sectors) and would like to see more Iranian exports to Canada.
