| Iran court sentences four men to die for being gay (Posted on 5/17/12 at 4:54 pm)
quote:
In Iran, a court has convicted four men living in Choram city, to death by hanging for being gay.
The four men have been named as being 'Saadat Arefi', 'Vahid Akbari "," Javid Akbari "and" Houshmand Akbari and are due to be executed shortly after the verdict was recently approved by the high court judges, according to a report by the Agency News human rights activist (HRANA) in Iran.
According to HRANA and JOOPEA, these four men will be hanged for being under Sharia law.
A gay activist based in Iran, said: "Despite the fact that being gay is not an offense based on Iranian criminal law, but is an offense based on Sharia law, this is the clearest statement in Iran against same sex acts in recent months.
He added that "four men other men were hanged in the past five months for being gay."

This is what you get when religious fanatics control the government of a country.

I was waiting to see if you would respond and condemn Islam without qualification. And of course you respond with a veiled criticim of Christianity.
Typical.
You better pray to God that Islam is never the domminant religion in this country. You will be one unhappy camper if that ever happens.

No this should be a reminder that you constantly complaining, small minority of butt-hurt (pun intended) gay men and women in America, should be thankful that you live in America. Also to stop the criticizing of Christians in America. Because I've yet to meet one that would agree the Muslim way of handling things.

Oh, I hate Islam. I think it's a shitty and backward religion that has no place in a modern world.
But TBF, what's happening in Iran is only slightly worse than what Scott Lively and other Chrisitan missionaries have gotten stirred up in Uganda with the Kill the Gays Bill.

I'm not concerned in the least that Islam will ever be the dominant religion in this country. I hope you aren't either.

Maybe, but you clearly hate Christianity more. I've never seen you pass up an opportunity to slam Christianity, yet you alwsy put on the brakes when given the chance to slam Islam. Even in this thread I had to draw it out of you. Whcih is fine. Like anyone else, you're free to hate whom you hate, love whom you love. I just think when it comes to gays, Islam is WAY harsher than is Christianity.

If they say it's Christian then it must be.
