Religious Immorality - Vol 1 Part 2

Story 1- Shi'ite pilgrims slain in new attack

A roadside bomb killed four Shiite pilgrims and wounded 15 south of Baghdad Monday in at least the third fatal attack on people traveling to one of their sect's most sacred gatherings, officials said.

The death toll rose from 40 to 56 from a suicide bombing Sunday — one of Iraq's deadliest attacks this year.

Extremists had attacked another group of pilgrims with guns and grenades hours earlier in the predominantly Sunni Baghdad neighborhood of Dora, killing three and wounding 49.

Story 2 - Afghan reporter's 4 min trial

An Afghan reporter sentenced to death after downloading an article from the internet on women's rights has said his trial lasted just four minutes. Pervez Kambaksh, 23, told the UK's Independent newspaper from his prison cell he was denied access to a lawyer and not allowed to defend himself.

Students claimed he had written a blasphemous article. Mr Kambaksh says he merely downloaded from an Iranian website an article which questioned why polygamy was all right for men but not women.

Story 3 - Death for giving up Islam-Iran Penal Code

The European Union has criticised the new penal code being drafted in Iran, particularly a section that imposes the death penalty for giving up Islam.

Death for apostasy already exists in Iran under Sharia - or Islamic - law.

In the past, Iranian courts have handed down the death penalty in such cases, but have done so relying on Sharia law.

Story 4 - Polygamist "prophet" in Arizona to face charges

Polygamist sect leader Warren Jeffs was handed over to Arizona authorities Tuesday to face sex charges stemming from the arranged marriages of two teenage girls to older relatives.

He already has been convicted in Utah in connection with one of those cases, involving a 14-year-old girl.

Jeffs, 52, is charged as an accomplice with four counts of incest and four counts of sexual contact with a minor in an indictment.

The Arizona charges stem from the arranged marriage of a man in his early 50s to a 17-year-old relative and another between a 19-year-old man and his 14-year-old cousin.

In summation, on Vol 1 Part 2 we have more killings, death sentences for printing articles of the web while not allowing one to defend himself in a court of law, death sentences for giving up a religion you don't believe in anymore, incestuous marriages of underage girls and statutory rape . Wow, religion is really a beacon for immorality!
