Iran: to connect to

President Ahmadinejad said that he "talks" with Allah.
"I often connect with Allah and he has assured me that the infidels will never be able to overpower the faithful."
This he told at an iftar dinner in Tehran.
The term connection he used, is in Farsi the same word people use to connect to the internet.
Once before, in 2005, Ahmadinejad said he was surrounded by "a bright light" during his address to the General Assembly in New York.
Nobody in Iran, not even the founder of the Islamic Republic, Grand Ayatollah Seyyed Rouhollah Khomeini, had ever alleged they had direct contact with Allah.



Some 80 former Iranian reformist lawmakers called for the release of their colleague Ali Akbar Musavi Khoeini.
He was arrested in June during a peaceful women’s rights gathering in Tehran.The charges are still unclear and authorities have not allowed him to connect to a lawyer.
The open letter's 81 signatories has been published at least at two iranian websites(farsi) and says Musavi Khoeini's detention has no legal basis and that he should therefore be freed at once.





In Iran deathpenalty is in use. Also for child offenders.

Children are being hanged to death.
A child will be hanged to death.
