Sharia is so inhumane that forty-three years of the Islamic Republic have turned large numbers of Iranians against Islam itself.
“‘Don’t read Quran after my death’: Iranian protestor in his will before execution,” OpIndia, December 16, 2022:
Amidst protests against the authoritarian Islamic regime in Iran, on Monday, December 12, a 23-year-old anti-government protestor was publicly executed. Majidreza Rahnavard was hanged in public in the city of Mashhad.
Rahnavard was executed after a revolutionary court convicted him of ‘waging war against Allah’ by allegedly stabbing two members of the Basij Resistance Force to death.
Mahmood Amiry Moghaddam, Director of a Norway-based NGO Iran Human Rights, shared the video of Rahnavard before he was executed.
When asked about what he wrote in his will, Rahnavard said, “I don’t want anyone to pray, or to cry, I want everyone to be happy and play happy music.”
A Twitter user who goes by the username @1500tasvir_en and who has been monitoring the protests in Iran ever since the tragic death of Mahsa Amini said that Rahnavard’s family was informed about his execution only after it was carried out.
It posted the picture of the last meeting of Majidreza Rahnvard with his mother and said that his mother had no idea about the court orders to execute her son. She left hoping that her son will be released soon unbeknownst of the terrible fate awaiting her son.
In another tweet, the Twitter user said the residence of Rahanvard’s grandmother was attacked on December 12 while his uncle and brother were arrested. “Last night (Dec. 12) the brutes of the Islamic Republic attacked #MajidrezaRahnavard’s grandmother’s residence, arresting his uncle and brother for a few hours. They took away all the banners and flowers for the ceremony and then forcefully evicted the family from their own home,” 1500 Tasvir tweeted….

Yeah, since Rahnavard was gonna die anyway, he did the sensible thing and openly disowned islam! Some day, I hope they exhume the bodies of the apostates and give them the sort of funeral that they would have wanted, be it Atheist, Zoroastrian, Christian, Jewish, Buddhist or whatever!
tim gallagher says
I agree, Infidel. And that is a good idea to honour the apostates. So good to see people trapped in islam ditching the vile religious ideology.
Burnaby Lad says
yeah idolaters get that, trapped and ditched

Keep fighting the bastards, that is all you can do.
The brutality of the dictatorship seems to not know when to stop, and this will be their downfall.
I only hope it is sooner rather than later.
Fitna says
If only western nations armed the non-Muslims the way they do with Ukraine, they could end Islam in their countries themselves.
If you’re going to kill people over a piece of cloth or an evil book of hate, or because they just want freedom, then you don’t deserve to live. Hopefully Islam is ended by the end of this century, at least in western nations and places like Iran, Israel and India.
Fitna says
*for burning or defiling the Quran, or for making fun of their pedo-prophet or death cult.
Iranians should set up militias to take the mullahs’ military hardware and then depose the regime.
James Lincoln says
Fitna,
To your point, Western nations should start by finding a way to arm non-muslims in Nigeria.
Imagine the “surprise” – when non-muslims start firing BACK…
When they find out that “allah is NOT willing”, the muslims will scatter like cockroaches…
Hank says
With that kind of conviction and bravery in the people of Iran that this protester displayed, I think that the Mullahs better book Air France to fly them back to Paris in the same way that the Ayatollah Khomeini booked Air France to fly him from Paris to Tehran in 1979. Looks like the former Zoroastrians are serious about dumping the yoke of Islam imposed on their forefathers by Arabs since the 6th century
Alkflaeda says
He should not have been hanged, even if he really did commit the assault with which he was charged. But to execute him and not tell his family – obviously you need a doctorate in psychopathy to be a leader in today’s Iran. If the family don’t get to bury his body, they should bury a coffin-load of Qur’ans instead.
