Seeing as everyone is so hot to keep the Islamic Republic intact, even though it is literally teetering on self destruction, caught in it's own web of lies that even it now doesn't believe anymore, how about using the clauses in the ghoran for a change?
"Qisas (Arabic:قصاص) is an Islamic term meaning retaliation, similar to the biblical principle of an eye for an eye. In the case of murder, it means the right of the heirs of a murder victim to demand execution of the murderer.
'O you who believe, equivalence is the law decreed for you when dealing with murder, the free for the free, the slave for the slave, the female for the female. If one is pardoned by the victim's kin, an appreciative response is in order, and an equitable compensation shall be paid. This is an alleviation from your Lord and mercy. Anyone who transgresses beyond this incurs a painful retribution'
However, the Ghoran also prescribes that one should seek compensation (Diyya) and not demand retribution"
So according to Qisas, and since how to attack women and protesters is not specifically covered in the Ghoran, and I'm no mollah, but I think that technically makes killing a protester murder.
So families of fallen protesters can either get even, or get paid.
I know this all sounds gross and crude and particuarly tasteless, for me to be sitting in an air-conditioned office in the US, while the Boss isn't looking and blogging on this site about anlyzing ghoranic law to settle the murder of protesters, but Hey, that's Islam for you, it has all the answers to everything!
I wonder what Allah has to say about 401k investment? That must be in the section under "Sex with Animals".
