Report: Serial Killers Cleared by Iranian Supreme Court as Victims' Activities Were Un-Islamic

The Iranian Supreme Court has vacated the murder convictions of a group of serial killers because their victims were engaging in un-Islamic activities, the British Broadcasting Corp. reports.
The men were convicted for a series of grisly killings in the southeastern city of Kerman in 2002. The vigilantes were said to believe that Islam condoned the killing of anyone engaged in illicit activities if they issued two warnings to the victims, the BBC reports.
At least 18 people were killed on the murder spree, but the men were only tried for five of the deaths. Some of the victims were stoned, others were suffocated and at least one man was buried alive, according to the vigilantes' confessions.
These men told the court that their understanding of the teachings of one Islamic cleric allowed them to kill immoral people if they had ignored two warnings to stop their bad behavior, according to the BBC.
The Supreme Court has overturned the verdict of a lower court that found all the men guilty of murder five times, according to lawyers for the victims' families. The vigilantes may still be liable for monetary damages.

Not condoning it, But we have to remember this is a Culture that has been practicing these kinds of acts for 10 of thousands of years thou religious teachings. Sadly, It will most likely never change as long as the teachings of Radical Islamic ideals remain, as with any radical religious belief system. Like the KKK, to me, fit in the same category. 0 -

Yeah, but at least the KKK had respect for SOME life. The ragheads don't even have respect for their own lives. In addition, I don't believe the KKK was intent on world domination or willing to kill EVERYONE who wasn't just like them.0 -

TR- My point here is extremists of any faith, in any country, will never vanish in war or otherwise. You and I and others will fight them with pride to our days end and so will our kids, and there kids kids etc. It's a never ending cycle.

You know, when I start hearing our political leaders talk about religion, I get the same bad feeling I do when I read this stuff. Today in church the otherwise sane minister started talking about "Chrisitan legislation" he'd like the government to pass.
Religion and politics should never be mixed. Ever.0
