The Gateway Pundit links to this disgusting news report from Iran (emphasis mine):
The news about the scheduled stoning of a man and a woman in Takistan, Ghazvin, was spread through mobile phone messages and the Internet. The office of Showraye Tameen of Ghazvin province has issued the order to stone and man and a woman in public.
The judge of Branch 1 of the Criminal Court of Takistan will be present in person to throw the first stone. This was scheduled to be done on Sunday, June 17, but the Office of Showraye Tameen of Ghazvin province postponed it to Thursday, June 21.
Mokarrameh Ebrahimi is a 43 year old woman and mother of an 11 year old who has spent the past 11 years in Choubin prison in Ghazvin after being sentenced to stoning. The father of the child has also been in prison for 11 years and is scheduled to be stoned with her.
According to the Meydaan, the official site of the Stop Stoning Forever Campaign, an informed source has verified the news and added that “the pits are dug and prepared in Behesht Zahra cemetery to implement the sentence.”
Like this couple’s child, one of my great-great-grandfathers was born out of wedlock. It was in 1847 right there in Robeson Co., North Carolina —the absolute heart of Scottish Presbyterianism in America. My ancestress was for a time kicked out of the church for this supposed indiscretion, but was allowed back in once her contrition was judged to be true. Yet, when she committed this same “crime” again a decade or so later, the church elders essentially excommunicated her.
They didn’t stone her to death. They simply washed their hands of her.
And made sure she’d gone to Texas.
