Now going back in time to 2002 – since in order to validate the hypothesis that jews have had a problem with child molestation and rape (principally of the homosexual variety) since pretty much records began – lets explore the case of ultra-Orthodox Rabbi Yechiel (
The following is a list (from a longer list) of capital offenses in Iran which I think definitely are (caps) or in some cases may be reasonable:
"Capital punishment is a legal penalty in Iran. The list of crimes punishable by death includes murder; rape; CHILD MOLESTATION; drug trafficking; ARMED ROBBERY; KIDNAPPING; TERRORISM; burglary; incest; adultery; sodomy; prostitution; sabotage; ARSON; EXTORTION; COUNTERFEITING; smuggling; THIS: [producing or preparing food, drink, cosmetics, or sanitary items that lead to death when consumed or used]; producing and publishing pornography; using pornographic materials to solicit sex; CAPITAL PERJURY; recidivist theft; CERTAIN MILITARY OFFENSES (e. g., COWARDICE, ASSISTING THE ENEMY); "spreading corruption on Earth"; ESPIONAGE; and TREASON."
I am pretty sure of all of the all capital capital offenses, but not necessarily of the others, though I can see how some instance of them may be deemed worthy of death in some cases depending on circumstances (burglary, recidivist theft) and may depend on degrees of deliberation, liability, and intent (production of deadly products), and others might be better handled by lesser sentences than death, but in some cases may well deserve death depending on severity (pornography, sodomy, prostitution, if they involve children, but probably should be despised enough by a society not to be tolerated with less than fines or ostracism), adultery (surely the "heat of passion" clause will take care of this one), incest (cultural norms should take care of this I would think), and so one. Some are arguable various ways, child molestation should lead to instant death upon conviction, I mean taken straight to the death chamber from the courtroom.
