Saeed Hanaei

 VICTIMS: 16

I’m sure that like many readers of this website, I have very little understanding of why religious people believe so strongly in the little fantasy world that their book (The Bible, Koran, etc.) brainwashes them into thinking is reality. And I find it even harder to understand why they would then go on to kill people because of what this brainwashing has led them to believe.

But I do love a religious serial killer.

Our lovable religious nutter for today is Saeed Hanaei. He was a 39-year-old construction worker in Iran's holy city of Mashhad. And the reason he gave for his actions are quite original.

His wife was propositioned by a driver at a street near their home that was a hangout for prostitutes. And because of that Hanaei took it upon himself to clean up the city. Although it wasn’t guys that tried chatting up his wife that he was interesting in cleansing the city of, no, it was prostitutes. 16 of them in fact.

Each of the 16 prostitutes were strangled with their headscarf. At one stage police became so worried about the murders that they removed all pro’s from the streets.

And why did Hanaei only target prostitutes?

“I killed the women for the sake of God, and for the protection of my religion because they were prostitutes and (were) corrupting other people.”

"I wouldn't have bothered even if I had killed 150 women because I wanted to clean the holy city of Mashhad from corrupt women and prostitutes," he said.

I’m sure that was the reason and that it nothing at all to do with the fact that Hanaei suffered from impotence.

Unfortunately I don’t know how Hanaei was caught, or what penalty he received, but I’m sure there’s a place in Heaven waiting for him, so it was worth it.
 

MY OPINION

I think I already put this bit in the introduction, so I won’t bother adding anything, except to say that it’s good to see that Muslims can be just as fucking stupid as Christians some times.
