Last weekend, Advance Indiana reported how the Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani of Iraq had issued a fatwa against gays and lesbians in Iraq, ordering them "killed, in the worst, most severe way of killing." We tipped off our friends at PageOneQ, who put their international reporter, Doug Ireland on the story. PageOne Q is now reporting that Doug Ireland will report in tomorrow's weekly edition of Gay City News that death squads are hunting down and killing gays in Iraq in response to al-Sistani's fatwa. Ireland's report says, in part: The Badr Corps is committed to the 'sexual cleansing' of Iraq," a 33 year old gay Iraqi exile in London told Ireland. Since the SCIRI's spiritual leader, the Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistni -- the highest Shia religious authority -- issued a fatwa ordering gays assassinated in "the worst, most severe way of killing," the Badr Corps in Iraq has begun to use the Internet to hunt down and kill Iraqi gays. The murdered Iraqi gays "are usually discovered with their hands bound behind their back, blindfolds over their eyes, and bullet wounds to the back of the head," Iraqi exile Ali Hili, coordinator for the London-based Abu Nawas Group, an organization of gay Iraqis in exile -- tells Ireland. In one case, the article explains, a transsexual was beaten and burned to death in an area of Baghdad. Hili explains that, "intimidation, beatings, kidnappings and murders of gays have become an almost daily occurrence.” Ireland's interviews include one with Tahseen, an underground activist in Baghdad, who is hiding 5 gays in his home and reports on the disappearance and killings of a number of gay men. PageOneQ is reporting that both Ireland and Ali Hili will appear on radio and TV news broadcast "Democracy Now" Thursday morning from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. EST to discuss this troubling report.

Tiassa, You seem to be working under the assumption that this story is about IRAN--it's about IRAQ (the people the US freed from the tyranny of Sadam Hussein).
Yes they are. I don't know about you, but when Im in Syria I don't want to go to the store, and see a bunch of men in dresses with make up on hitting on me, do you? Besides, and in this case its so disgusting that they should die for becoming gay! Also no infraction since this is the whole topic anyway.
There is a transexual or crossdresser that works at my local supermarket. He never bothered me at all. Besides that's just a stereotype, not all gay people want to look like women.

You know, i may not like gays, but if there are any people on this Earth who really deserve death, it's trannsexuals Don't tell me you see nothing wrong with trannies......... And sure, but all gay people are disgusting as are all bisexuals and transexuals........are the worst.......... Adam and Eve were straight, correct? Do you not need a female and a male to have a baby? Yes, you do, and this is nature's way of telling us that straight is the only true sexual orientation. It's like a magnet. Two of the same poles don't work.
Nothing at all. Yes, humans reproduce in certain ways, but that's just a practical consideration. What if having babies doesn't matter to you? We weren't born with earrings either, should we consider pierced ears to be an abomination? Who cares?
I'm glad you've decided you're not a Muslim. People like you give the religion a bad name. :bugeye:Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Well, I'm an Alawi, but is that Moslem? I just don't know. And secondly...........are you kidding me?
No I'm not. Who died and put you in charge of what is right or wrong?Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Alawi comes from Hazrat Ali, son-in-law of the Prophet. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alawite
Even though they freakin' changed their sex, removed their genitals.....wow it's simply disgusting They are freaks! Sheesh, not real human beings anymore. They are also losers and cowards.
I put myself in charge; all men are given what they give themselves. Even for a Muslim, Christian, Jew, gays are sinners. You can't bend the religion. They are what they are. I laugh when I hear of "gay Christians" or "gay Jews"........there's no such thing! It's like saying that I'm a good citizen while at the same time robbing a bank!
Shit... now I'll have to cancel my plans to visit Baghdad for gay pride! Sure, and you're an asset to whatever society you're in! Why does one have to commit to some preference? Can't a person just accept a person for who they are and not wish harm on anyone? Is that concept beyond you? (side note: I find the concept of loosing my equipment horrific as it brings me far to much joy, but to answer your question, I know a few who were pretty cool people)
I think they are very brave, and their private parts are none of my concern. What's wrong with freaks? I love freaks. Their appearance is also a sign of a free society.
