“Where there is no freedom, there is death and destruction.” – Mustafa Kemal Atatürk

Isn’t it time that we cultivate a new class of people throughout the Islamic world to think more like this again? Iran could certainly benefit from this. 70-something lashes to one of their beautiful lady singers who dared to sing a protest song asking her country’s leaders to have mercy on its people. Tell me the part again where the punishment befits the crime, and we gain anything from having these folks rule with their iron fist of tyranny.
