How About Not Killing During Ramadan?

Iranian police shot and killed a 22 year old man because he was eating during Ramadan. The young man, Seyed Mostafa, was driving in his car playing his music loudly when the police saw him eating, obviously a capital offense in Iran. The article reports that the police are actively cracking down on public eating, smoking, and drinking as well as on “lawless elements.”

News flash to Iran, your government is a lawless element. You need to crack down on them. And here is a novel idea; why not practice “not killing” during Ramadan. This is the kind of hypocrisy that we hear all the time when it comes to Islamic Holy Days. The US went to great pains not to start a war during Ramadan, all the while the terrorists were killing people. If it is a Holy Month then perhaps they need to practice being Holy.

This religion of peace gets more violent everyday. Now they are shooting people for eating. Thank God there is no ban on breathing during Ramadan, though that might not be a bad thing.
