FROM THE PRESIDENTIAL OFFICE OF THE ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF IRAN IN TEHRAN - HERE IS OUR ANSWER TO YOUR RECENT LETTER REGARDING THE RECENT EXECUTIONS OF TWO PERVERT BOYS IN MASHAD. Please note that this page is fictional though based on the one inescapable true fact that two young men where executed in Iran in July 2005 for having allegedly had gay sex when they were both boys.

" "Many people are sending me all types of reading material, just to distract me, I suppose, and keep me busy, and perhaps even to change myself. But the only book I now read is the Holy Quran."

I hear the guards curse and...(deleted).... on them. Many of them are.....(deleted) arrested. But no one knows what.... (deleted).... to them.

"(They will be) on couches inlaid Reclining on them, facing each other Round about them (serving), eternal boys With goblets, beakers, and cups (filled) from clear-flowing fountains No after-ache will they receive therefrom, nor will they suffer intoxication And with fruits that they may select And the meat of fowls, any that they may desire And Companions with beautiful, big, and lustrous eyes, Like unto pearls, well-guarded."
