WHAT?   Murder is Murder , and if you get pleasure from what took place in France ( your wrong ).
I think making fun of someone's ( faith ) is wrong ,but not grounds for killing someone. In America we have freedom of speech and ( sometimes it works ) in theory. 

      Iranian cleric 'rejoices' in Charlie Hebdo massacre

This is scary to say the least ,and they want to build a nuclear bomb ? I think my first thought is the         (Iranian Government ) get's mad because someone insults Islam and they want to drop a nuclear bomb on someone ?

            The Iranian Women and children and people 

I feel bad for them , no human right's , home invasions and computers taken and people placed in Evin prison without a charge ? They have no court hearings , no arraignment to inform them of charges ? The people just vanish for weeks and show up in some prison . 

Iranian cleric 'rejoices' in Charlie Hebdo massacre

A senior Iranian cleric has expressed his pleasure at the terrorist attacks that left 17 dead in Paris last week and branded the participants in mass rally as 'murderers'.

Muhammad Ali Movahedi Kermani said during Friday prayers in Tehran: "Thank God, those who supported ISIS and terrorism and nurtured them, now the very same terrorists have acted against them.

"Let the murders show their ugly face as the criminals and reveal their animosity against Islam so that the Islamic world be awakened."

Kermani also condemned the mass march by millions of French in defense of freedom of expression, adding: "It is surprising that these criminals have held a rally and condemned terrorism, those who themselves are not only the real terrorists, but also nurture terrorists."

Another senior cleric leading the Friday sermon in Iran's second biggest city of Mashhad also claimed that the Charlie Hebdo attack was committed by the French Government itself.

Cleric Ahmad Alamalhod said: "The attack against the office of the magazine was carried out precisely according to the scenario that France had planned, and the killings were done to create a new wave of Islamophobia. This was a scenario of French-Zionism scenario. The nurturers of terrorism on the earth have done this to create a great wave of Islamophobia."

It was carried out as a pretext for the French to send its Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier to the Middle East, Alamalhod said.

Iran : The " children of the street "

NCRI - The majority of street children in Iran are over 10 years old with an average income of 23,000 tomans, about 7 dollars, per day according to a recent study by a state organization.

Based on a study by the State Welfare Organization most of these children are engaged in routine work, in particular street vending (73.2%), porterage (6.8%) and playing music (6.4%) or semi-routine work of garbage searching and collecting bread waste (9.6%) and panhandling (5.7%).

 A very small number of children (2%) are also engaged in the drug trade and pickpocketing.

Street children live in dire conditions where they survive in abandoned buildings, containers, automobiles, parks, or even on the street itself.
Street children experience a series of social and psychological traumas on the streets on a daily basis.

The quantitative data based on the study shows that 40.2% of the kids have mentioned heat and cold tolerance, 34.9% have mentioned confiscated goods, 33.2% stated being involved in a car accident and 26.7% mentioned some sort of other illness.

Among the children’s numerous experiences that have been quoted by several children’s organizations, violence from the public, peers and police officers are common occurrences in the lives of street children.

About 27.4% of children have reported being insulted and beaten by guards, 26.6% have gone through peer-beating, 16.2% have been insulted and beaten by people, while 4.5% have reported sexual abuse, the study claims.

Street children in Iran, compared with the general population, have a higher alcohol and drug consumption rate under the age of 18 years. About 17.3% of street children have had alcohol at least once in their lifetime, and about 7% of street kids drink alcohol every day.

The age of starting drugs among street children is actually quite low, where about 56 per cent started using before the age of 14. Many children in this study claim that this addiction runs in the family where 43.8% have reported an addict father and 36.9% have reported close friends being addicts.

About a third of children on the streets of Tehran (31%) have reported leaving home because of family problems, where 23.9% of children have reported a history of physical abuse.

These street children come from families that do not have a desirable economic situation, where fathers are unemployed and there is a weak participation from the mothers towards the family income.

Determining the numbers of street children in Iran is a virtually impossible. In a 2005 report by the U.S. State Department, by the Iranian government’s own admission, 60,000 street children were accounted for in Iran.

Numerous child rights organizations suspect that the number is substantially higher, citing figures of 200,000 or more. Of this number, about 55 percent are the children of Afghan refugees.

The atrocities these children experience are the blatant fault of the Iranian regime and are in direct conflict with the ‘Convention of Rights of Children’ that demands that children have to be looked after by the state if their own families cannot provide for them.

However, no such step is being taken by the mullahs for the betterment of these children, where they are too busy building up nuclear weapons and exporting terrorism and fundamentalism.

Iranian regime illicitly exporting oil disguised as Iraqi barrels ( Violates U.S Sanctions )

A shipping insurer has warned its member this week that that Iranian crude labelled as Iraqi oil was being transferred ship to ship by smugglers at oil cargoes at a port in the United Arab Emirates.

Insurer West of England has said the cargos may contain Iranian crude disguised as Iraqi barrels, and that it cannot insure these volumes as they are in breach of U.S. sanctions on Tehran.

The ship to ship (STS) transfer by smugglers has been taking place at the Khor Fakkan port in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

The insurer said in a statement published on its website on Jan. 13: "It appears that such oil may routinely be described as being of Iraqi origin and as having been loaded on board the transferring vessel at Basra some time before the proposed STS operation."

The insurer said it "cannot provide insurance to vessels which load Iranian cargo in such circumstances and cover will cease in its entirety if such cargo is loaded".

The insurer company said that documentation of barrels labelled as originating from Basra in Iraq, and which stopped over at Khor Fakkan, should not be taken at face value.

“There is evidence of a sophisticated smuggling operation and those responsible may go to considerable lengths to disguise the true origin of the cargo. Cargo documentation is likely to appear credible and there may be no evidence of any designated parties being involved. “

“Members are therefore advised to exercise extreme caution when engaging in STS operations in the Arabian Gulf. In particular it is recommended that Members check with port agents to ensure that vessels providing cargo by means of an STS transfer in the region loaded the cargo at the port stated in the cargo documentation before any cargo is received. “

The insurer said that Iranian vessels loaded with crude had shuttled across the Strait of Hormuz to supply ships with oil labelled as originating from Iraq and destined for countries that do not benefit from a waiver of U.S. sanctions legislation.

The insurer warned its members that transport of Iranian oil without a waiver under U.S. law "may trigger enforcement action against the vessel, its owners and related parties by the U.S. authorities".

Frenchman detained in Bulgaria denies Islamist militant links: lawyer

(Reuters) - A French citizen arrested in Bulgaria for alleged links to the gunmen who attacked the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo, denies being part of an Islamist group and is ready to be extradited to prove his innocence, his lawyer said on Friday.

Fritz-Joly Joachin was detained by Bulgarian police at a border checkpoint as he tried to cross into Turkey in the early hours of Jan. 1 under a European arrest warrant that alleged he had abducted his three-year-old son - an accusation he denies.

A second European arrest warrant alleged he had participated in a criminal group that plotted acts of terrorism, for which he could face 10 years in prison.

Joachin was brought into a provincial court in the city of Haskovo near the Turkish border on Friday. A construction worker without any previous criminal convictions, Joachin told the court he expected a fair hearing and at one point objected to having a female translator.

"He has told me that he has no links to Al Qaeda or any other terrorist group," Radi Radev, Joachin's lawyer, told reporters. 

Iran: Regime bans female singer from stage ( First banned from certain events )

A female singer has been banned from performing with her group at a concert in Tehran.

Iranian authorities said the show would only be allowed to go ahead if Azerbaijani singer Fargana Qasimov watched her band perform from the sidelines.

The organizers of the January 13 concert at Tehran's Vahdat amphitheater had called for the ruling to be overturned, forcing spectators to wait for hours in the street before the concert began.

Once the show started, the conductor told the audience: "Nowhere else in the world are women artists treated in this way."

Asked if she had faced similar humiliation at any other concerts, Mrs Qasimov replied: "Not at all, this is the first time that I have faced this situation. I am not feeling good about it but I have to support my father when he performs," according to a report.

Iranian officials also banned photographers from the concert and has not allowed any pictures of show to appear in the media.

Iran - Iran to open " Dating marriage website "

TEHRAN: Iran has announced plans to combat what it says are “immoral” online dating websites by launching an official site for young people seeking marriage.
Local media quoted officials as saying the site would launch in the next few days and promote long-term marriages among the under-30s.
There are strict prohibitions on sexual contact before marriage in the country, but that can be circumvented under the Shiite system of “sigheh,” or temporary marriage, under which a couple can contract matrimony for as little as an hour.
The government is seeking to discourage the practice and the deputy minister for youth and sport, Mahmoud Gholrazi, said there are as many as 300 websites deemed “illegal and immoral” that often encourage sigheh. Gholrazi did not say whether the site would be similar to traditional ones, where members post photos on a profile describing themselves, their interests and what they are seeking, but he did say “counselors and psychologists” would work with it.
Noting that Iran has a marriageable population of around 11 million, he said that, “with the help of this site, we could have 100,000 marriages with a correct method, and the problem of marriage for young people would be partly solved.”
Not only is the government attempting to encourage marriage, it is also seeking to reduce a record divorce rate which has reached 22 percent. In big cities such as Tehran, an estimated one in three couples divorce.
