Religions are evil. Most evil in this world is caused by religions.

Free your mind, free your body, get rid of religion. We all would be better off without that superstitious nonsense!

@bpuhal Iran's jails are filled with humans rights abuse claims. We're talking forced labor and torture. Stop claiming this is no big deal, your nonchalantness on this subject reveals your brutal ignorance about his situation.

oh!!!

i hope they let him go but this one gonna be hard people were murderd in iran for things like this and this man have showed pictures that piss off iranian goverment and he knows cant fuck with iran specialy iran they dont like that its gonna take a lot more then u think to let him go a lot i hope he gets out anyways but that is 10% chance to be honest

@bpuhal He isn't special ... actually I think he was suicidal after his wife left him!!

[bpuhal]

@2edsajdmsa seriously? I was being sarcastic. My point was, he went there on his own & knew the country's mentality. Also, IRAN wont let him serve the whole sentence anyway, he'll be out sooner than you think ..in the meantime he gets to make some new friends, read & workout.

[2edsajdmsa]

@bpuhal he went there on his own free will, so because he was in that country he deserves to die?

And Canada couldn't extradite him you fool, because Iran didn't have a warrant or anything out on him. They just arrested him when he was there because they don't like anyone saying bad things about them.

Do some research before you choose to be an insulting douchebag

[bpuhal]

@2edsajdmsa c'mon man, you have to laugh ...Canada didn't extradite him ...he went there on his own free will!

Free Palestine!!!

@bpuhal You must be a child if you make light of this situation

[bpuhal]

@2edsajdmsa ...just think ...in 19 years Hossein will be more careful with his travel plans! ...and now he'll have a few new things to blog about too. I'm just glad this didn't cost Canada too much ...would rather see Canada help someone who needs it rather than some blogger who insults a country with a 2000 year old legal system -& then actually goes to the country!! see it's not that bad - he'll be out in 2029 - it'll be here before he knows it!!
