Gays Deserve Death States Iranian Minister

[TYLERTECHSAS]

Maybe this will help you LIBS/DEMS understand the Iranian/Muslim problem a tad better. I bet this gets your dander up more than anything the Iranian President has ever said about America, Israel or the Holocaust, , our way of life or our President ect...... And no CNN is not reporting this yet as it probably really throws them into a tither. They don't want to hammer on Iran, making Bush look right, but they don't want to let this very human PC problem continue either. They must be waiting on Ted Turner/Times to make a ruling on printing this one as well. And yes, Iranian officials stating this in such an open forum worries me very much as well.

Gays Deserve Torture, Death Penalty, Iranian Minister Says

Iranian Minister: Gays
Deserve Death Penalty

Iranian leader admits at peace conference that homosexuals should be tortured, The Times of London reports
Homosexuals deserve to be executed or tortured and possibly both, an Iranian leader told British MPs during a private meeting at a peace conference, The Times has learned.
Mohsen Yahyavi is the highest-ranked politician to admit that Iran believes in the death penalty for homosexuality after a spate of reports that gay youths were being hanged.
President Ahmadinejad, questioned by students in New York two months ago about the executions, dodged the issue by suggesting that there were no gays in his country.
Britain regularly challenges Iran about its gay hangings, stonings and executions of adulterers and perceived moral criminals, Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) papers show.
The latest row involves a woman hanged this June in the town of Gorgan after becoming pregnant by her brother. He was absolved after expressing his remorse. Britain said that this demonstrated the unequal treatment of men and women in law and breached Iran’s pledge to restrict the death penalty to the most serious crimes.
A series of reported executions of gays, including two underage boys whose public hanging was posted on the internet, has alarmed human rights campaigners.

Gays Deserve Torture, Death Penalty, Iranian Minister Says

Tyler,

Why does this make it more pressing for us to attack/be aggressive with them? I'm sure we could find quite a few African nations that are openly hostile to GLB as well. But protecting from violence all the GLB in the world is not really in our national security interest -- protecting from violence the GLB that live in this country IS. I see nothing in this story that leads me to believe that Iran wants to extend this assault to us.

It would not surprise me at all, however, for these kinds of stories to draw HRC into a VERY aggressive stance on Iran. It is obvious that she wants to go after them, just like the neo-cons on the Republican side.

Just more evidence that the country needs a leader like Ron Paul.

Had not heard that HRC was hot to invade Iran but doesn't surprise me.

[daybreaker2]

salty- yeah, HRC has a hard-on for Iran... I bet she literally has one too... I wouldnt doubt it.

But hey Tyler, I thought a story like this would help people like you sympathize with Iran, and want to attack them less?

To keep these poor folks from being oppressed, tortured and killed of course.

So when are we going to invade North Korea? Communist China?

So when are we going to invade North Korea? Communist China?

Not until they drop a nuke on American soil because that's what it will take to get most of these a**holes in office to do anything, especially if the popular candidate on this board gets elected.

[TYLERTECHSAS]

Communist China----NEVER. N. Korea.... depends.

Tyler,
Your concern for homosexuals is heart-warming.

Tyler,

Do they execute homosexuals in North Korea or China?

[fanfromafar]

Man, the far right is REACHING big time for reasons to invade Iran. When the wing nuts start using "abuse of homosexuals" as a reason to invade Iran then you KNOW they're running out of steam.

Remember my opening comments. BTW, I don't believe CNN ever reported these Iranian statements. Just too confusing for them I can hear them now, "which side should we take?"

"Maybe this will help you LIBS/DEMS understand the Iranian/Muslim problem a tad better.

Because he never stated them. You have some real proof that Iran is executing gays? And I don't mean FAUX news or the Washington Times. I mean a creditable source.

Why, in a country that doesn't allow women to have access to computers, is Celine Dion the 3rd most popular singer? If they are going to execute gays, they need an efficient method.
