An Iranian teenager has been sentenced to death for drinking: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/2648933.stm I urge you to protest this abridgment of a basic human right - the right to get shattered.
I am an American.
The people we are fighting, religious fanatics, really do have a vision to establish their idea of "Islam" (not the true and historially tolerant Islam) as a totalitarian principle.
They are the most "patriarchal" men on earth.
They stone women for "adultery." (Ref: Nigeria's northern provinces, Afghanistan before we liberated it, Iran).
They execute homosexuals. (ref: Afghanistan)
They have killed thousands of people in Kenya, Egypt, New York, Washington, Bali and other places.
According to reliable polls, the majority of young Iranians want more freedom, for reasons related to the sentence of this young man.
We ask for your help in this fight.
