Boy executed for Underage Homosexual Act

By Kamangir • Dec 6th, 2007 • Category: Children, Human Rights, Iran, Islamic Republic

Do you remember Makwan Moloudzadeh, who was to be executed for a homosexual act which he allegedly committed when he was 13 (see: Boy to be executed for Underage Homosexual Act, Take Ation!)? He was executed recently despite the controversy surrounding the witnesses against him (Reuters).

  1. Even if the allegations of rape were true, he wasn’t old enough to fully understand the consequences of his actions when he commited them. What happened here is a travesty - trying a child’s crimes and giving an adult’s punishment, with the obvious taint hate-driven agenda. I do not know who that young man grew up to become, but I can easily surmise that he was a better man than the people who ordered his execution.

  2. animal behavior by justice. this just can’t be human. my heart is broken. my beautiful daughter is gay. there certainly aren’t any gays in iran

  3. “he wasn’t old enough to fully understand the consequences of his actions when he commited them”

    At 13? Rape? Are you sure?

    “I can easily surmise”.

    I wish life could be only that simple.

  4. Yes, at 13, Leo. I doubt you can understand it fully at 16 either, or the consequences of any action for that matter.

    It’s easy for us adults to pass judgement without remembering how teens think. You *can* think in quite a mature manner at that age, but the vast majority don’t.

  5. In fact, I’d say that 13 is the age where you *start* understanding the consequences, but this is by far different from full responsibility.

  6. Sad, very sad. Why the rush to kill people who have barely began to live life?

  7. Roman I somewhat remember myself at 13. I am certain, I was ready to nail anything and everything that moves. I am sure thought of applying force had crossed my mind few times as well. But I knew that was wrong and I did not.

    This little 13 year old boy did not bother to restrain his big desire. Not much more there is to it.

    On the subject of punishment. I think it was wrong. The best punishment would’ve been to jail him so he could get dose of his own medicine.

  8. Keep in mind, Leo, this was just me considering the worst possible extreme of the case. The fact is - all complaints against him were withdrawn, so what we’re left with here is the very strong suspicion of male-male sex, with the parents of some trying to protect their children from the authorities by saying that their kids were victims, then backing out when they realized that the matter is going to lead to someone’s death.

    Except that Iran’s judicial system went on with the case even without anything in the hands of the prosecution, and without the review that some people within Iran’s judicial system were demanding. The fanatics won.

  9. I have heard that the mullahs themselves engage in homosexual acts!

  10. Tehran Universit Erupts!!!

  11. Roman Kalik @ 8,

    Point taken.

    Thank you

  12. Happy to oblige, Leo.

    Incidentally, I just watched an Israeli movie called Buzz. The movie showed what can happen when you don’t see 13 and 14 year-olds as potential criminals, or psychopaths in need of extreme help. Suffice to say that watching a kid use a cat for target practice with a gun, manipulate his friend to bring him over to his point of view (might is right, and if I’m right then I might as well do some damage, for kicks), and then murder a cab-driver in cold blood without having any scruples whatsoever, other than mum maybe finding out… Even in fiction, that sort of thing leaves a deep impression.

  13. Dear Kamangir
    Killing is a part of islam, dont forget.

    The ayatollahs have given us the Iranian people a kind of discount in pushing the true islamic laws, if they wanted to do everything which is mentioned in the text book of terror (koran) we would have had a kind of situation like Tlibans, perhaps even worst than talibans. Iranian people inside Iran are awakened and they know what a killing, controlling evil ideology islam is. Have you not read your koran !!??
    Iranians have felt islam with their skin and bone. Islam is finished in Iran, in the hart and mind of the people. Iranians have had a much much better religion to follow (if they need to follow any religion at all). The Iranian religion is ZOROASTRIANISM. Don’t fool yourself islam is defeated in Iran, and it is in Iran which it will be destroyed. The evil ideology of islam and its so called islamic republic will be burned, you will see.
    Some verses from your koran

    Quran 3:151
    We will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve, because they set up with Allah that for which He has sent down no authority, and their abode is the fire, and evil is the abode of the unjust.

    4:48 “Allah forgiveth not that partners should be set up with Him; but He forgiveth anything else, to whom He pleaseth; to set up partners with Allah is to devise a sin Most heinous indeed.‿

    4:84, Then fight in Allah’s cause - Thou art held responsible only for thyself - and rouse the believers. It may be that Allah will restrain the fury of the Unbelievers; for Allah is the strongest in might and in punishment.

    4:141, And never will Allah grant to the unbelievers a way (to triumphs) over the believers

    5:33, The punishment of those who war with Allah and His Messenger, and strive with might and main for mischief through the land is: execution, or crucifixion, or the cutting off of hands and feet from opposite sides, or exile from the land: that is their disgrace in this world,,/b. and a heavy punishment is theirs in the Hereafter;

    8:12, I will instill terror into the hearts of the unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off them

    4:89 They long that ye should disbelieve even as they disbelieve, that ye may be upon a level (with them). So choose not friends from them till they forsake their homes in the way of Allah; if they turn back then take them and kill them wherever ye find them, and choose no friend nor helper from among them,‿

    8:15-16, O ye who believe! when ye meet the Unbelievers in hostility, never turn your backs to them. If any do turn his back to them on such a day - unless it be in a stratagem of war, or to retreat to a troop (of his own)- he draws on himself the wrath of Allah, and his abode is Hell,- an evil refuge (indeed)!

    8:17, It is not ye who slew them; it was Allah: when thou threwest (a handful of dust), it was not thy act, but Allah’s: in order that He might test the Believers by a gracious trial from Himself

    8:60, Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power, including steeds of war, to strike terror into the enemies, of Allah and your enemies, and others besides, whom ye may not know, but whom Allah doth know. Whatever ye shall spend in the cause of Allah, shall be repaid unto you, and ye shall not be treated unjustly.

    8:65, O Prophet! rouse the Believers to the fight. If there are twenty amongst you, patient and persevering, they will vanquish two hundred: if a hundred, they will vanquish a thousand of the Unbelievers

    9:5, But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem.

    9:3, And an announcement from Allah and His Messenger, to the people (assembled) on the day of the Great Pilgrimage,- that Allah and His Messenger dissolve (treaty) obligations with the Pagans. If then, ye repent, it were best for you; but if ye turn away, know ye that ye cannot frustrate Allah. And proclaim a grievous penalty to those who reject Faith.

    9:14, Fight them, and Allah will punish them by your hands, cover them with shame, help you (to victory) over them, heal the breasts of Believers,

    9:23, O ye who believe! take not for protectors your fathers and your brothers if they love kufr above Faith: if any of you do so, they do wrong.

    9:28, O ye who believe! Truly the Pagans are unclean; so let them not, after this year of theirs, approach the Sacred Mosque.

    9:29, Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.

    9:39, Unless ye go forth, (for Jihad) He will punish you with a grievous penalty, and put others in your place; but Him ye would not harm in the least.

    9:73, O Prophet! strive hard against the unbelievers and the Hypocrites, and be firm against them. Their abode is Hell,- an evil refuge indeed.

    9:111, Allah hath purchased of the believers their persons and their goods; for theirs (in return) is the garden (of Paradise): they fight in His cause, and slay and are slain: a promise binding on Him in truth, through the Law, the Gospel, and the Qur’an

    9:123, O ye who believe! fight the unbelievers who gird around you, and let them find firmness in you: and know that Allah is with those who fear Him.

    22:19-22; These two antagonists dispute with each other about their Lord: But those who deny (their Lord),- for them will be cut out a garment of Fire: over their heads will be poured out boiling water. With it will be scalded what is within their bodies, as well as (their) skins. In addition there will be maces of iron (to punish) them. Every time they wish to get away therefrom, from anguish, they will be forced back therein, and (it will be said), “Taste ye the Penalty of Burning!‿

    25:52, So obey not the disbelievers, but strive against them herewith with a great endeavour.

    25:68 ‿Those who invoke not, with Allah, any other god, nor slay such life as Allah has made sacred except for just cause, nor commit fornication; - and any that does this (not only) meets punishment. “(But) the Penalty on the Day of Judgment will be doubled to him, and he will dwell therein in ignominy,-

    37:22-23, “Bring ye up‿, it shall be said, “The wrong-doers and their wives, and the things they worshipped- Besides Allah, and lead them to the Way to the Fire!

    47:4, Therefore, when ye meet the Unbelievers (in fight), smite at their necks; At length, when ye have thoroughly subdued them, bind a bond firmly (on them): thereafter (is the time for) either generosity or ransom: Until the war lays down its burdens.

    48:13 And if any believe not in Allah and His Messenger, We have prepared, for those who reject Allah, a Blazing Fire!

    48:29, Muhammad is the messenger of Allah; and those who are with him are strong against Unbelievers, (but) compassionate amongst each other.

    69:30-37 (The stern command will say): “Seize ye him, and bind ye him, And burn ye him in the Blazing Fire. Further, make him march in a chain, whereof the length is seventy cubits! This was he that would not believe in Allah Most High. And would not encourage the feeding of the indigent! So no friend hath he here this Day. Nor hath he any food except the corruption from the washing of wounds, Which none do eat but those in sin.‿

    2:223 Your women are a tilth for you (note: a tilth is a farming field to to cultivate produce) so go to your tilt as ye will, and send before you for your souls, and fear Allah, and know that ye will meet Him. Give glad tidings to believers,

    2:228, And women shall have rights similar to the rights against them, according to what is equitable; but men have a degree above them

    2:282, and get two witnesses, out of your own men, and if there are not two men, then a man and two women, such as ye choose, for witnesses, so that if one of them errs, the other can remind her.

    4:3, Marry women of your choice, Two or three or four; but if ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one, or (a captive) that your right hands possess, that will be more suitable, to prevent you from doing injustice.

    4:11-12, Allah (thus) directs you as regards your Children’s (Inheritance): to the male, a portion equal to that of two females:

    4:24 Also (prohibited are) women already married, except those whom your right hands possess.

    4:34, Men are in charge of women, because Allah hath given one more than the other, and because they spend of their property. So good women are the obedient, guarding in secret that which Allah hath guarded. As for those from whom ye fear rebellion, admonish them and banish them to beds apart, and beat them. Then if they obey you, seek not a way against them. Lo! Allah is ever High, Exalted, Great.

    23:1-7 The believers must win through, 2]Those who humble themselves in their prayers; 3] Who avoid vain talk; 4] Who are active in deeds of charity; 5] Who abstain from sex, 6] Except with those joined to them in the marriage bond, or (the captives) whom their right hands possess,- for (in their case) they are free from blame, :7] But those whose desires exceed those limits are transgressors;-

    4:24 “And all married women (are forbidden unto you) except those (captives) whom your right hands possess.‿

    33:50 O Prophet! We have made lawful to thee thy wives to whom thou hast paid their dowers; and those whom thy right hand possesses out of the prisoners of war whom Allah has assigned to thee; and daughters of thy paternal uncles and aunts, and daughters of thy maternal uncles and aunts, who migrated (from Makka) with thee; and any believing woman who dedicates her soul to the Prophet if the Prophet wishes to wed her;- this only for thee, and not for the Believers (at large); We know what We have appointed for them as to their wives and the captives whom their right hands possess;- in order that there should be no difficulty for thee. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

    At the exact same time that this guy was busy having sex with female slave captives that he kidnapped through various wars, in my country (The Persian Empire) a woman named Irandokht became Emperor. After she passed away, her sister Pourandokht became her successor. So don’t give me that crap about Islam being too enlightened for it’s time.

    Everywhere you look at the history of Islam, 30,000 people were killed in this city, 80,000 were killed in that city, 2,000 in this city, etc. 137,000 in the city of Tisphoon alone were beheaded before the entire city was burned including the library which at the time had around 40,000 books. In my ancestral city of Shoosh (Susa), when the Muslim army came they killed 40,000 people. And this is according to the history that they themselves wrote.

    Wait there is more…

    5.38
    As to the thief, Male or female, cut off his or her hands: a punishment by way of example, from Allah, for their crime: and Allah is Exalted in power.

    There is still more but if I have to read anything else about cutting off body parts I might throw up…

  14. OT

    There is an interesting article in Adncronos about two new polls conducted inside Iran. Unfortunately the article does not specify which organization(s) conducted polls or exactly when they were conducted.
    Any thoughts?

  15. Well said Bahman.
    I hope the evil idology of islam which was forced onto our Persian ancestors will be destroyed in Iran soon. For us Iranians islam is the Arab cultural cololialism. Islam belongs to Arabs and other premitive people.
    All arab nations are related to each other. From Egypt north Africa to Saudi Arabia, they are all cousins which belong to Hemitic (Egyptions,and other N.Africans) and/or Semitic races. We are Iranians, we are Indo-Europeans (Aryans). We have our own religion, Zoroastrianism.
    Long live Freedom
    Long live Humanity

  16. This is very powerful stuff Bahman. I have been trying to figure out why some muslims fear the US so much. I have trouble understanding why muslims feel it so necessary to enforce nonsense filled rules with such absolute violence, murder and suicide. Are they not men and women? Is not what happens between me and God my own business and nobody else’s? The mullahs have a power that makes them drunk, don’t they? They seem sick with power madness and the love of that power to humiliate and degrade those who’s own personal internal power threatens theirs. The US, and Israel, pose a threat to that power because they demonstrate an existance of FREEDOM that can not exist under the mullahs, at least it seems to me. I believe the mullahs are afraid that the various muslim peoples will see that freedom and yearn to have their own freedom, and the power of the mullahs will be gone. When I read some of these things of which you speak, I am mystified. I never understood how people could march into gas chambers during the holocost, nor can I believe the videos I see of women being shot, beaten and kinapped by muslim “propriety police”. If I saw an American woman attacked like that, I’d kick somebody’s ass….or shoot them. I, undoubtedly, would not be alone. Not here. Not at any time. And, I have seen it happen a few times. In the USA, women are respected and protected, not subjugated. If you want to post this, fine. I defer to your judgement.

  17. bahman, you are concentrating on outta context taken quotes. it is not fair or honest to accentuate one part of a religion without bringing it into context. as a matter of fact what you are doing is exactly the same your opponents (and mine) the so-called religious ‘leaders’ but who are nothing else but hate-spreading people are doing ;)

  18. You say what Bahman has mentioned from quran is “out of context”!!!!!!!!!???????????????
    So, in what context do you put all the evil that’s written in quran???
    Tsedek, you must be a Moslem. I don’t think you are Iranian any way. But if you are Iranian I feel you are infected with this ideology. Its ok we (majority of Iranian people)are awakened.
    We understand and see and feel islam with our skin and bones. I do understand that centuries of forceful terror and brain washing done to our ancestors (that’s if you are of the Iranian race) in order to accept this evil ideology, does not go away quickly. But remember as Bahman said islamic republic (mullahs regime)is the fruit of islam. We want to cut the tree of islam from Iran, we want to defeat the ideology. History and time is in our side. There are millions in Iran like me and Bahman. Which side are you on? The time is approaching when one can not be in both camps. The islam which you believe in (a peaceful islam !!) is a mirage and a big lie, never existed, you might as well create another religion and call it something else.

    Long live human progress
    Long live freedom

  19. Samira, I am an Israeli Jew. I am not saying the mullahs are Islam. Islam is a religion. Mullahs are men. What they do in name of a religion is completely THEIR OWN responsibility, and has nothing to do with Islam as a religion for billions of other people.

  20. Oh yeah I got it. A Jew standing up for islam. That’s not surprising since islam is from your own Semitic Arab brothers. You have to stand up for it, its all your own Semitic traditions. But OPEN YOUR EARS, WE IRANIAN PEOPLE ARE ENDO-EUROPEAN (ARYAN)PEOPLE, WE HAVE HAD (AND HAVE) OUR OWN TRADITION OF RELIGIONS, SUCH AS ZOROASTRIANISM.
    Having said that Persians have no problem with you Jewish people. Cyrus the Great build your temple and freed you from you own Arab brothers the Babylonians.
    Never mind, go and learn.Don’t worry about it.:-))

  21. Correction thats:
    “WE IRANIAN PEOPLE ARE INDO-EUROPEAN (ARYAN) RACE”
