It's not exactly original, but it does make a good point - who would actually want to participate in the stonings? There must be people who are not only prepared to do it but actually want to do it - which is, indeed, a little weird.

Islamophobic? No. And what if it was? So when was a religion free from criticism?

'Zionist propaganda'? Get a grip!

Invasion of Iran? You've been reading Global Research, haven't you?

You're looking for ghosts where there aint non.

Muppet.

I see the Hasabara and their EDL allies are hard at work - demonising Muslims and encouraging imperialist war as usual.

Sadly Indymedia seems to have become full of these non stories of late. The Onion is a comedy site, not meant to be taken seriously, why the article.

"Iran Defender", this is a clear case of cultural imsunderstanding. You suppose that OUR cultural institutions exist for the same purposes and operate under the same rules as yours.

"How would these imperialists like it if Iranians printed a cartoon saying that all Americans were serial killers and gang members? Protests against this vicious slur against the Iranian people and the Muslim nation by demanding this site is shut down!"

DO IT! Write your piece, and if the editorial staff of "The Onion" thinks it is funny they might run it. That's the point. HERE (where "The Onion" comes from) we can print pretty much anything we please. That we can if a key part of OUR culture. Your demand (shut down "the Onion") is a demand that we NOT have a culture that contains "free press".

Sadly, your cultural misunderstand goes even deeper. You complely misunderstand how WE (the culture from which this piece came) respond to it compared to how we respond to your own words. You think in our eyes it slanders that guard that he has second thoughts about what he is doing? Friend, in our eyes it is YOU who slander him by suggesting that he is so inhuman not to.

Anywhere where they DO stone people to death is backward.

FACT

Stoning in Islamic society is more of a threat than a reality... it is VERY rarely exercised. Criminals are usually hung or shot. There are far more criminals executed in countries like America and China than in Iran.

But racist cowards would rather see women and children bombed to death wouldn't they.

So now if you say things about bad people doing bad things and they happen to be muslim then you are an Islamophobe? Islamaphobia is a reality but it is not present in this article. If you are going to complain about this then i advise you to never buy a mainstream newspaper else you will never leave your computer again. Or perhaps that would give your life purpose?
