Carla Bruni Told She “Deserves To Die” For Supporting Iranian Woman Sentenced For Adultery

[TheIdiot]

Avid readers of Today’s Lady News have no doubt been following the story of Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani, a 43-year-old Iranian woman who has been sentenced to death for adultery. Ashtiani is accused of cheating on her husband and then conspiring to have him killed; she was sentenced to 99 lashes, which she’s received, and death by stoning. After an international outcry that death by stoning was too cruel, Iran changed the sentence to death by hanging. However, her lawyer also fled Iran to Norway in fear when he learned the government planned to arrest him.

Carla Bruni, the First Lady of France and a musician/model/actress who was known for her colorful sexual escapades before she married President Nicolas Sarkozy, has spoken up for Ashtiani and said no one should be murdered for their sexual behavior. Earlier this week, a state-run newspaper in Iran called Bruni a “prostitute” and then said she “deserves to die” for supporting an “adulteress.”

7. Theocracies should be condemned as dangers to human civilization

And any government that even coddles religion should be regarded as suspect and put on a "suspect country" watch list.

It's time we evolved as a species.

9. Is she sentenced to death for adultery or conspiracy to commit murder?

The story is anything but clear on that point. If it is for adultery, that is madness.
