Perfectly Rational. Just Like You And Me.

A leader of the Religion of Peace and Tolerance in Iran says women without veils deserve to die.

And their fathers, and their husbands.

Tehran, 19 Dec. (AKI) - A top Muslim cleric in Iran, Hojatolislam Gholam Reza Hassani said on Wednesday that women in Iran who do not wear the hijab or Muslim headscarf, should die.

“Women who do not respect the hijab and their husbands deserve to die,” said Hassani, who leads Friday prayers in the city of Urumieh, in Iranian Azerbaijan.

Not.

But of course I'm the "nut job" for even entertaining the thought that maybe it's these nut jobs that ought to be dying instead of their (here it comes) truly oppressed women.

We have to respect other "cultures".

Welcome to the world turned upside down.
