Persian bloggers receive death threats

Boing Boing: Persian bloggers receive death threats: "U.S. election aside, hot topic of the last couple of weeks in Persian blogosphere has been a blog called 'Islamic Army' in which its anonymous author has threaten a big list of Iranian blogger for their 'insults' to Allah, Prophet Mohammad and other Shia Imams. The blog was first being hosted on Persianblog, but they shut it down after a while, probably due to complains.

Now they've moved to BlogSpot and have made another blog with the same name with a more precise content to backup their claims. They now have picked particular posts from my Persian blog, in which they think I've insulted the God, and other sacred concepts of Islam and therefore, quoting from a Quranic verse, I deserve to be killed.

On their links section there isa link to another persian blog called 'Islamic resistance' in which the author, Amir, has written in detail about weapons used by Iraqi insurgence, Iranian airforce, and other things with a theme of military resistane. There is also a link to the official website of 'Doctrinal Analysis Center for Securtiy without Borders' which is run by Hassan Abbasi, a controversial Revolutionary Guard (former, maybe) official who advises pre-emptive action by Iran to US and Israili interests, who happens to be Michael Ledeen's favorite Iranian strategist of terror."
