Iranian Mullahs Continue Crackdown

It should come as no surprise as the regime says that some of the protesters will face the death penalty for their participation in protests against Mahmoud Ahmadinejad stealing the election.

A senior cleric demanded in a nationally broadcast sermon Friday that leaders of the unrest be punished harshly and that some are "worthy of execution."

Iran's ruling clergy has widened its crackdown on the opposition since a bitterly disputed June 12 presidential election, and scattered protests have replaced the initial mass rallies.

Punish them harshly and with cruelty. That's what the mullahs siding with Ahmadinejad and Khamenei want.

In fact, the mullahs are already claiming that the protesters are at war with God himself, so will use such claims to justify their violence. The mullahs are engaging in jihad against their own people by claiming that they are not following the word of Khamenei as enforced by Ahmadinejad.

As usual, the thugs chant death to America and death to Israel to end their Friday sermons, whipping the faithful into a frenzy. Of course, the media simply can't bring itself to repeat precisely what was said, but instead says that the parishioners were saying anti-US and anti-Israel slogans.

It's also reported that Mirhussein Mousavi's website was hacked, which was likely done by Ahmadinejad's thugs because they want to crush the opposition and their means of communications and organization.
