[McGee_22]

The BBC have deleted their story where they reported her falling into a coma, but...

this is what the Iran state have done to her.

If you have a teenage daughter who is headstrong and has her opinions anywhere in the world just thank the stars or whatever starfairy you believe in that she was not born in Iran

Applies to any Muslim country, do you think Afghanistan is any better for women. Is Pakistan a nirvana of women's rights or Saudi Arabia?

There is soke sort of dark humour in the free Palestine protest currently where 50% of the crowd would in fact not be free a day 100% of the crowd would not be allowed to protest at all in many Muslim countries

[Jasandjules]

Utter madness.

The BBC had reported that she has died from her head injury.

This has been in the front page of BBC news for over 10 days for me.

Don't take away the OP's chance of making a pathetic point about a television company based on an horrific tragedy.

What is it with religionists? Dear gods. This was little more than a child, killed for no reason. It seems to go on everywhere.

When I was a kid, we were told the biggest danger to society and civilisation was the world turning it's back on religion. That was right in a way; we turned out backs and didn't notice that evil was building. It was thought that the nonsense would fade away. Riding to heaven on a winged horse, the Earth moulded by hand, 6,000 years old, and sex being the worst thing - apart from actually enjoying it.

We were taught at school that during the second crusades, a soldier of a god rode his horse into the church of a slightly different god and got blood up to its withers. He was praised by the then pope. Those days are here again, if they ever left.

We treat religion, and those who gain power from it, delicately. We should go into attack mode. Leave them bloodied metaphorically.

A child at the start of life. We'll never know what difference she could have made.

It's always easy to spot people you just know are disgusting in real life and not just over the anonymity of the internet.

That was a quick trip from parochial, dusty RE lessons to hardcore, theocratic regimes Derek, you'll get whiplash!

Derek’s dementia strikes again.

I made no point about the BBC other than quoting them as the source of the story and being unable to find the interim report from the poor child was in a coma in hospital.

See the bit in bold, which you have reworded.

I don't have dementia. Don't think Derek does, but either way, I felt the way the BBC was referenced in the OP contained an implicit criticism of the beeb, who in my feed have been highlighting this story for ages.

Now we could spend the next 3 pages quoting back and forward exactly why I think that, you criticising it etc, but I cba.

It is what it is: you can't see it, Derek did and i did.

By all means feel free to insult me like you did Derek, but in classic PH style, that would say more about you than me.

I guess this is the state of NPE, where the barbaric state sanctioned murder of a woman for wearing a piece of cloth the wrong way or not at all, turns into an argument about the BBC and the OP's motivations.

It's another appalling act from a region of the world that truly has been abandoned by God.

I work with a couple of Iranians. As they explained, it's tragic what has happened to Iran, all in the name of fking religion.

In the 50s and 60s it was such a vibrant and progressive country given where it is located. The pictures of university students from that era show a completely different culture.

[Triumph Man]

Makes me shudder that there are people living in this country who think the whole world should operate like that.

Before anyone thinks I'm being racist, I'm not - it is the unfortunate case that the vocal minority in this country ruin it for the majority

Yeah, Iran was getting quite liberal wastn it, then the religious chaps took over and it was all fun, fun, fun again !

The men there have no confidence in their ability to attract women with their charm, wit and general manliness so they keep the women locked up and controlled so they can get their end away whenever they want. It is pathetic.
