Summary
Iranian pop star Amir Hossein Maghsoudloo, known as Tataloo, has been sentenced to death for blasphemy after the supreme court overturned a prior five-year prison sentence.
Tataloo, who had been living in Istanbul since 2018, was extradited to Iran in 2023 and has since been detained.
He also faces charges of promoting “prostitution” and spreading “propaganda” against the Islamic Republic.
The verdict is not final and can still be appealed.
Once a figure courted by conservatives, Tataloo gained fame for his controversial music and tattoos.
If God (or Allah if you prefer that name) is so angry about blasphemy, why does He risk letting fallible humans take care of the problem?
Simply cause the blasphemer to drop dead. Then the faithful can clean up the aftermath if they wish to appear faithful, because it is less important how that is handled.
Is this comment blasphemous? We’ll see if I drop dead.
Iran is such a dogshit country. Russia too.
Are you from that country that just voted in a convicted felon as their next president?
Citizens of dog shit countries are the most qualified to talk about others being dog shit.
Which country is not a dogshit country today?
Mostly first world countries are shit rather than dogshit.
There are a number of places in the world that have legal systems that are totally controlled by the state. If you go to those places you are taking large chances as you don’t know how much you figure in that government’s agenda at that moment.
All legal systems are controlled by the state. Uncontrolled systems are called vigilantism.
Categorise Xeer then, please.
“blasphemy”
Holy hell. How anyone defends these overly religious, dirt ball countries boggles my mind. Overzealous religion rules with an iron fist.
In Poland, you can be arrested and charged with “offending religious feelings”
America is far from perfect, but I can pretty much say whatever I want, with few exceptions, and not be subjected to legal consequences.
Don’t worry, thats gonna change with project 2025. Iran was a pretty progressive country before a bunch of zealots taken the power.
Sorry, my dude. Take your project 2025 boogie man stuff down the road. Call me when something actually happens.
Action > talk
You mean like the raft of executive orders that Trump just signed that were directly out of Project 2025?
If that’s the case, left wing MSM will undoubtedly begin dropping stories making this exact claim. I’ll be on the look out for them.
There is absolutely ZERO left wing MSM. It does not now nor has it ever existed
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
“You say I have been stabbed, and I am actually bleeding with a knife in me, but Fox News hasn’t told me about it so far so you must be a just a lying fear mongerer”
Let it go. Fox News can’t hurt you anymore.
