Yet most gay rights organizations in the West ally with the forces that foster Sharia and Islamization. Someday they may regret that alliance, if their friends succeed in their objectives and turn and come for them. “Four Iranian men sentenced to death by hanging for sodomy,” by Dan Littauer for LGBTQ Nation, May 12: An […]
Iranian cleric: Homosexuals are inferior to dogs and pigs
But remember: to speak out against the words of Ayatollah Javadi-Amoli, and to uphold the dignity of every human person, would be “Islamophobic”! “Homosexuals are inferior to dogs and pigs, says Iranian cleric,” by Saeed Kamali Dehghan in The Guardian, April 18 (thanks to all who sent this in): An influential Iranian cleric who is […]
Iraq: Interior ministry removes directive to “eliminate” the “emo” youth subculture from website
“The interior ministry said on March 8 that it had not recorded any anti-gay or anti-emo killings.” So they never happened. So there’s nothing to investigate. So shut up. An update on this story. “Iraq must investigate ’emo’ killings: rights groups,” by Prashant Rao for Agence France-Presse, March 16: Three major international human rights groups […]
Iraq: Interior ministry allegedly knew of planned massacre of “emo” youth
More on this story. Note the freewheeling conflation of the suspicion of homosexual tendencies, allegations of devil worship, and whatever else the government’s thugs please to level at their targets.

Iraq: Militia comes to school, asks students to report “suspicious behavior”: not terrorists, but “emo” kids

Iraq police tasked with protecting “social minorities” say they are “powerless” to protect Emo youth subculture from violent persecution
One can’t help but wonder if it is a true lack of capacity, or a lack of political will.

Gay honor killing film shakes Turkey up, enrages Islamic supremacists
“Islamist daily Vakit called it ‘homosexual propaganda’ by a gay lobby bent on ‘legitimizing perversion through their so-called art.’” Remember, they’re talking about a film about an honor killing. Vakit doesn’t seem to mind the honor murder; it’s the immorality that upsets them. “Gay ‘honor killing’ movie shakes Turkey up,” by Ece Toksabay for Reuters, […]
U.K.: Muslim arrested for distributing literature calling for hanging of gay people says he was just doing his duty to inform about Islamic law
The literature apparently gets some of its material from Minhaj al-Muslim, reminding one again of the comment-box apologists we’ve encountered who have insisted they’ve never heard of this book and we must have picked it out of the clear blue sky to tar Islam’s reputation. Then this guy must be a total Islamophobe. Or an […]
Malaysian states with Islamic law eye harsher punishments for Muslim gays
Authorities are planning on jailing homosexuals in modern, moderate Malaysia, but not to worry: gay activists in the West know what the real problem is: Pat Robertson. Sharia Alert from Malaysia, the shining example of a moderate, Western-leaning Muslim state: “Malaysian states with Islamic law eye harsher punishments for Muslim gays,” from Reuters, November 11: […]
U.S. denies asylum to gay Saudi diplomat who could be executed under Sharia
Dr. Phylis Chesler hits the nail on the head: “This is further proof that the Obama administration’s foreign policy is one of self-destructive appeasement and that despite its presumed commitment to civil rights and human rights, that commitment does not extend to Muslim women, Muslim dissidents, or Muslim gays — nor does it extend to […]
