  Okay, execute the hardline clerics then if they love it so much.
context: The association (Jame’e Moddaresin-e Howzeh Elmiye-ye Qom) suggested that anyone who “instigates fear in society” -- supposedly by participation in anti-government protests -- is belligerent (mohareb) which in Iran's Sharia-based laws is punishable by death, crucifixion, severance of limbs, and/or exile.
  
  So by that logic the hardline clerics should be executed, crucified, or amputated, because they are "instigating fear in society." >
  
  No, no, in societies controlled by religious reactionaries, the rules never apply to those in power.
  Also: Khomeini was extremely tolerant of goatfucking. >

  You get bonus points for innovative thinking 😃🖖🏼 >
  
  Well if you are giving out bonus points, I would like to let you know that the pig fucker Ayatollah Khomeini also loved to get fucked by select boars, also he was known for his enthusiastic predilection to perform anilingus upon castrated "barrow" pigs. >
  
  Historically, such methods have been turned against their proponents. One can only hope. >
  
  When the punishment for speaking out is the same as for murdering the religious/government leaders, murders of these people become the obvious choice. >
  
  When the punishment isn't any worse why not go all out. >
  
  I mean, they're demanding it. I see no issue at all giving it to them. >
  
  That's what I thought when I read they thought the punishment was justified when the crime was commited with the “goal of causing fear and a sense of insecurity in the society and knowing that these actions would be publicized domestically and abroad.”
  That sounds exactly like what they are doing when they threaten execution and amputation for the 'crime' of protesting. >
  
  Since that's going to end the protests and not increase the hatred towards those in power.
  /s
  Edit: I hope these assholes in power step down sooner than later >
  
  Lol, step down.
  They’re [edit: their] heads need to roll down some steps. >
  
  Yes, head amputation sounds about right. >
  
  Always a headline you want to see in relation to your governance: "More Executions & Amputations Please".  
  Wild >
  
  The clerics can have a little execution and amputations, as a treat. >
  
  Nothing says "we are secure in our belief system" like chopping off arms legs and heads. >
  
  Is it us that’s out of touch? No, it’s the kids. Let’s cut off their heads, that’ll calm them down. >

  Our priests and politicians are sexually abusing children? Quick, blame trans people! Too many shootings in schools? Get your guns and shut down children's events. >
  
  This isn't about Islam or "waging war against God", it's about the theocracy that rules Iran perceiving these protests for reform as a threat to its very existence. >
  
  I mean they’re right, it’s definitely a threat to their rule. I hope that threat is a success sooner than later. >
  
  The quicker there is a massive revolt the fewer deaths there will be in the longer-run. >
  
  The executions and torture will continue until morale improves >
  
  Hardliner Cleric is the worst subclass in 5e. The extra cantrip really just isn't worth it. >
  
  It’s pretty cool in pathfinder though. >
  
  Many things are cooler in Pathfinder >
  
  Why doesn’t a mob of people just nail the door shut to the room where they took this picture and set the building on fire. >
  
  Because they have heavily armed militias protecting them. >
  
  Obviously, but I can still day dream. >
  
  Surprised they didn't demand more raping. Security services are particularly fond of raping men during interrogations. >
  
  But it’s duty, not gay >
  
  But how does a man get an erection to rape a man if he's not gay? If a dude can get sexually aroused and fuck another dude in the ass then there is some gayness there! Haha >
  
  Because they get satisfaction from hurting others.  Rape is not about sex, it’s about humiliating, torturing, and exerting control over the victim.  That is what turns them on, sex is just the means to an end.  It’s sick that a person would get sexually aroused by that, and this might explain why most don’t see it that way, but we must stop equating rape with sexuality. >
  
  Great idea, the hardline clerics should be the first >
  
  They are done at a hospital. The go home with a "how to care for your wound" instruction sheet. For real... >
  
  Yike! They believe that protests "tarnish" Iran's place in the world? What about hanging people in public without a trial? >

  These guys are disgusting & I hope the population gives them their due asap. >
  
  I can see where this is headed. >
  
  That’s a great idea. Amputate the clerics and things would be pretty awesome >
  
  “such actions tarnish Iran's image in the international community” To an abuser, it’s always the victim’s fault. >
  
  The day the last theocracy dies will be a good day. >
  
  Man, I miss when clerics would just say a few words, heal 4 to 10 hit points, and call it a day. >
  
  Just can't fathom how any human can fall to such barbaric level. These despicable people are utter disgrace to humanity
  Also, the bravery of Iranian protestors are remarkable to stand up against such brutal regime. Hope they win soon >
  
  Sounds good. Start with the hardline clarics. See how things go after that. >
  
  These guys need their head amputated. >
  
  The clerics are the ones that should be executed >
  
  Okay, execute the hardline clerics then if they love it so much. >
  
  Nah, just half of them, the other half you amputate between 1 and all 4 limbs, have them throw a d4 to determine number. >
  
  It’s hard to imagine how/why a culture wants to hold onto such archaic and barbaric beliefs in this day and age. >
  
  Alabama says hello. >
  
  Where in Alabama are people getting amputated or executed for perceived religious crimes >
  
  Doesn't mean they weren't happening at the hands of religious leaders. That was my point. These guys in Iran are religious leaders, so I found religious leaders to compare them to. They're all the same. It seems to be a common thread among these religions that developed so close to each other. >
  
  That part I agree on. But it's much different in Iran where the religious leaders are literally running the country. Much more widespread than a bootcamp in Alabama or a hascidic bathouse in Brooklyn. 
  The closest we have to that level of ignorance is the recent Supreme Court decision on Roe. Unfortunately, Biden didn't follow thru on his campaign promise to codify Roe into law. >
  
  Amputations and executions will not cease until Morality improves!!!! >
  
  At this rate Iran’s going to be a nation of amputees. >
  
  In paradise, they can have all the amputations and executions they desire. I would endeavor to help speed them to the place their faith guides them to go. Perhaps the means that I would apply to achieve such ends might be of a drastically different nature than what they wish to have, but they will certainly end up in the exact same place, regardless. I am but a humble servant here. >
  
  I've had several close Iranian friends over the years. I'm in awe of what these people are doing, and that they are so brave to stand up for these necessary changes. I'm not sure I am that brave. I hope these barbaric, insecure men that demand women, and other non-'traditional' men, be their slaves fall. 
  Fuck them. >
  
  So are they volunteering ?  Pretty ballsy move from a group of idiots stuck in the stone age >
  
  Great, let’s start with you guys, en masse. >
  
  The world is populated by utter bastards. 
  There should be executions in Iran. Executions of every twat calling for the execution or amputations of those people protesting for their freedom. Fuck those guys. >
  
  Until the world moves past religion this is what we’ll have >
  
  Generally i don’t advocate placing political leaders on the pyre. Generally… >
  
  Makes me wonder how many of those men can even read the Quran. I don't think the literacy rate is very high among some.
  May the fleas of a thousand camels infest their armpits and may they burn in hellfire for all eternity. >
  
  Religion is a serious, dangerous mental illness. >
  
  I’m sure that won’t have any bad consequences and really calm things down, after all these clerics are really good at public relations. >
  
  Iran & Saudi Arabia have so much in common, I don’t know why they don’t get along. Both huge fans of amputations. They should ask Saudi Arabia about starting up a public beheading division.
  The rest of us ditched this stuff centuries ago. >
  
  Do you know the rabbit god/duck god cartoon? Because it really sums it up well. >
  
  I hope these clerics are the ones who end up amputated and executed. Death to the dictator, freedom for the women and children of Iran! >
  
  Old men always the ones doing and saying stupid shit. >
  
  There's a big incel faction too among young religiously observant men. They also say and do stupid shit. >
  
  Tell me youre a barbaric chimpanzee without telling me youre a barbaric chimpanzee >
  
  I’d start with their heads first. >
  
  “...because such actions tarnish Iran's image in the international community and bear other costs for the government.” As if implementing those punishments would do any good >
  
  There is an obvious and neat solution. They want, they get. >
  
  They’re going hard on the viral marketing for Gremlins 3. >
  
  Good, let’s start with the clerics. >
  
  Hey, guys? Seems like those tactics aren’t working too well, wouldn’t you say? >
  
  Unwrap their heads and call them what they truly are, hairline clerics. Fucking butt sniffing slavers. >
  
  I have some suggestions, but I don't think they'll like them >
  
  What a horrible place. >
  
  Torture will continue until moral improves >
  
  And this folks is how you move from peaceful/physical protests right on to armed violence. The regime has already had problems when they were going to execute someone known, they thought those were one-offs and other people will not care? >
  
  These religious gangsters have gotta go. Monsters! >
  
  Remember those words when the gov is overthrow, that's how they should be treated in return >
  
  Woah, those critics better be careful with complaining about how things are done! >
  
  The headline in an alternate universe, “Iran demands more executions, amputations for hardliner clerics.”  Sounds like a better place. >
  
  I agree! More executions! More Amputations! Start with the Clerics! Amputate them alllllll! (Then,... execute.) >
  
  This is absolutely unacceptable. These clowns should have their hands amputated and mouths sewn shut >
  
  If the clerics want to be amputated and executed, who are we to stop them. >
  
  They need to tract down the clerics and give time a lobotomy. >
  
  Iranians should start with the clerics. >
  
  Such a caring, loving, religious government. >
  
  Well, I’m sure the crowds of protestors will oblige them…. come on old religious guys! Arms out to be hacked off! >
  
  Imagine trying to convince the world that your god is good, and holy, and just, and righteous, and his teachings are the only correct moral way... and then calling for mutilating human beings. 
  The only spiritual entity I know of that gets off on sadistically torturing people wears a red suit and carries a pitchfork. Maybe these people need to re-examine their beliefs. >
  
  The fact that there are living human “clerics” in 2022 >
  
  Toward the right of that picture it looks like about two men are sleeping in their seats.  I'm wondering if someone in Iran will see that picture resulting in them getting brutishly punished as that group wants for others. >
  
  Maybe all first born males in 2023 might help. >
  
  Everyone one of these clerics could have their dicks cut off with a dull needle and I would feel nothing but happiness for the women, men and children that no longer have to live under this archaic bullshit. >
  
  They want more? I say we give them what they want. I don't think they'd like who I suggest we give them to, though. >
  
  There were once some people in france who had something to say about this. That resaulted in one of the first democracies in the world. >
  
  I agree, more hard line clerics should be executed.  Oh, they meant the other people. >
  
  I can't locate the video of an Iranian state-run show where the guest was advocating to cut off one arm, one leg, and then gouging eyes of a protester who is sentenced to death.
  His reasoning was that they shouldn't be summarily executed. That's an easy death according to him. They (the protesters) must suffer and torture to death.
  I have no problem rendering such punishment for someone who has committed a heinous crime against others. But we are talking about political prisoners who just want to express their voice of dissent against their tyrannical government. >
