Warning: This post contains nauseating content.

Imagine, for a moment, burying a person in the dirt up to their collarbones. Then, with an utterly defenseless human neck and face exposed, you pick up a baseball-sized rock or bigger and hurl it with enough force to begin inflicting the slow process of death. The skull, the jaw, the cheeks, they eyes, the nose and teeth all targets for a group of evil sadists. Unimaginable pain must certainly match the horrific inhumanity of a stoning.

Your eyes swell shut, your teeth battered and bleeding as your jaw and nose fracture, your skull cracks open yet the pain only builds. Never before has death been so recruited and welcomed.

Think about it.

What person, what government, what religion could stomach and sanction such brutal savagery? What absolute dearth of a being could do such a thing?  That type of vicious, depraved cruelty takes a unique mammal to perpetrate, one certainly devoid of any human trait of compassion or empathy.

As we watch the horror of the Sakineh Mohammadie Ashtiani sentencing unfold, remember that any country engaging in such cruel and wicked “justice” would not think twice about inflicting sever pain, suffering and violent death on “the others” they contrive to be guilty. The next time you hear of UN actions, the United Nations Security Council and their “sanctions with teeth” against the Iran’s nuclear ambitions, please remember this.

Once you cross the hell-drawn line of satanically killing with a handful of rocks, hurling a rocket is a layup.
