Iranian men to be stoned to death over gay sex
http://www.pinknews.co.uk/2011/01/18/iranian-men-to-be-... /
Two young men who filmed themselves having sex have been sentenced to death by stoning in Iran.
The film was discovered on the mobile phones of Ayub and Mosleh, 20 and 21 years old, by agents of the Iranian regime in the Kurdistan city of Piranshahr in northwest Iran.
...snip...
Reports say that the young men’s stoning was immediately ordered for this Friday “to instill fear in the people of Iranâ€.
...snip...
Soheila Vahdati, an independent human rights defender for Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International and the Iranian Queer Organisation based in San Francisco, said: “They don’t differentiate between rape and homosexual acts. As well, there is a culture of shame. The families won’t defend their loved ones from this brutal punishment.â€

1. What century is this again?
Unbelievable...actually, no it's not..what's unbelievable is that this sentence would be applauded in some places in this country..
What religion condones, no requires this? The one that DUmmies support.

2. Don't think for 2 minutes
that if some of our delighful, home-grown Fundamentalists (as zealous as any Talibanites) and/or self-appointed "real Americans" could get away with stoning gays (or others: Blacks, Jews, Muslims, Mexicans, Christians of other denominations, etc.) to death right here in the good ol' USA they'd do it in a nanosecond.

5. WOW. And the obligatory "USA Fundies want to do that too" is the second reply!
That didn't take long!
No mention of the Religion of PeaceTM yet.

6. I am missing your point? Do you agree or disagree with what I said?
FYI my comment was speaking more to the fact that I am personally depressed that as much as we would like to distance ourselves from the uneducated bigotted assholes "over there", there are in fact, probably almost as many "over here".
Is that wrong/incorrect/inaccurate in your estimation?
Do you disagree with that? If so I would love to hear your conunterpoint, if you have nothing other than snark to offer I bid you good day...
If that were true, then crimes against gays would be much higher than they are. DUmmies are stooooopid and evil.

Well, step up to the plate and head over there.

Ya you are probably right. Just last week the local Christian church had a stoning............:sarcasm:

Never fails to happen, if a thread shows up that puts Islam in a bad light then one of the DUmmies will do their best to turn it around to bash Christianity. It's like watching a bad comedy on repeat!

Sometimes the DUmmies just make you want to pick up a rock and chunk it.....Ernest T. Bass style.

Yep, rather than address the facts of the story, that under Islam homosexuality is punishable by death, they have to try to make a it about "Christian Fundies" :mental: In their minds, nothing is worse than a Christian Fundamentalist. :whatever:

I think that sums it up quite nicely.

At least they won't get killed by one, they fail to see that though.
If iw ere gay and had the choice between a Muslim area and Christian, I think we all know where I would go.

25. Yes, the Lutherans around here are always stoning people.
Afterward, they sit down and sample a variety of casseroles.
:lmao: :evillaugh:

Once in every great while, I attend church. These damn DUmmies are going to make me have to go every Sunday.....just so I don't miss the next stoning party.

Leave it to a liberal to turn any criticism of the Religion of Peace into criticism of Christianity.
As if they know anything about any form of Christianity, fundamentalist or otherwise.

The Iranian Queer Organization is based in San Francisco, but don't they have at least a branch office in Teheran?

If they do, it's probably accessable through the back door only . . .

The proof, DUmmie, is that there were times in our history when we were less "progressive" and even then we had no laws about stoning people to death because they have sex with someone who has the same anatomy. Not even during the Victorian Era when everyone in the whole freaking world was prudish. But you keep on believing that without and reason or rationale. Just because someone finds it violates their personal moral code doesn't mean those same people don't hold "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" with the same regard. Of course there's also the weird desire you guys have on the left to always be the victim, like it automatically makes you better than everyone else. Still, how is it that someone who's supposed do be so damn superior is just one rock away from being stoned to death by a bunch of stupid fundies? I have chicken embryos that are smarter than you.

Do they know just how hilarious this makes them sound? Get on a plane and head there to protest, ya cowards! Put your money where your mouth is, if ya can take that dick out long enough to speak!
Yep it's so dangerous in this country for fags that we have Soheila Vahdati, an independent human rights defender for Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International and the Iranian Queer Organisation right here in this country! Well almost in this country! SF is kinda more like Uranus, ain't it DUmbass?
I just luv how they condemn us, yet would never stand in harms way in order to make their point! I'll have to talk to the Rev at the church I support! I'm not exactly there every Sunday, so I'll try and get him to send me a YouTube of the next stoning so I can share.
