[QUOTE="grandmotherweb:1436503"]bible-thumpers should all go move there as quickly as possible, since they all have such lousy taste in music. [URL]https://qz.com/1680968/irans-metal-band-confess-escapes-to-norway-avoids-jail-sentence/[/URL] 'A judge in Tehran last month handed down harsh sentences to the two members of Confess, a well-regarded Iranian heavy metal duo prosecuted for making music the regime considers blasphemous. Singer and lead guitarist Nikan “Siyanor” Khosravi, 26, was given over 12 years in prison and 74 lashes for charges including “insulting the Supreme Leader and President,” “disturbing public opinion through the production of music containing anti-regime lyrics and insulting content,” and “participating in interviews with the opposition media.” [...] Iran’s theocratic leadership does not tolerate dissent, and human rights groups have long decried its record on restricting freedom of expression. Women are regularly jailed for dancing or not covering their heads in public, and hundreds of journalists have been arrested, some even executed, for doing their jobs. [...] In Iran, all music must be approved and licensed by the government, and heavy metal is forbidden. [...] “If you insult the Prophet you will get executed, because he’s dead and he can’t defend himself,” Khosravi told online metal magazine Loudwire last year. “But if you blaspheme God and question His existence, He can forgive you. That was why we didn’t get executed.”'[/QUOTE]
