Serial Killers Cleared by Iranian Supreme Court as Victims Activities Were Un-Islamic
The Iranian Supreme Court has vacated the murder convictions of a group of serial killers because their victims were engaging in un-Islamic activities, the British Broadcasting Corp. reports.
The men were convicted for a series of grisly killings in the southeastern city of Kerman in 2002. The vigilantes were said to believe that Islam condoned the killing of anyone engaged in illicit activities if they issued two warnings to the victims, the BBC reports.

Whoa! This is serious business I guess. 2 warnings for doing "un-Islamic" things and then a person can be killed? Now THAT'S a scary precedent for any court to set.
