Islam Says, Kill Homosexuals

The Iraqi Ayatollah Sistani, the man who couldmost accurately be called the spiritual leader of the new Iraq, says homosexuals should die:


Friday, March 17, 2006 Sistani:

"Gays Should Be Killed in Worst Way Possible."

His Eminence, Grand Ayatollah Ali Al-Sistani, the supreme religious authority for Shi'ite Msulims in Iraq and worldwide, decrees that gays and lesbians should be killed in the worst manner possible, according to this news article from a London-based gay rights group.

A quick search through Sistani's official website turns up this page, translated as:

Q: What is the judgement on sodomy and lesbianism?

A: "Forbidden. Those involved in the act should be punished. In fact, sodomites should be killed in the worst manner possible."

Thus says the Iranian cleric who was nominated by Iraqis for the 2005 Nobel Peace prize.


Dag has some comments that are right on target:


Muslims in the West and homosexuals are both minority groups. So what? Muslims are violent, hate-filled killers who prey on homosexuals. That is almost without exception.

Christians often do not have any higher opinion of homosexuals than do Muslims. There is a fundamental difference: Christians generally don't kill homosexuals.

Individual people might bash gays, and when they do we all press till the criminal is captured and prosecuted. It is the law that saves homosexuals from the few who would harm them; in Islam it is the law that kills homosexuals.

Now, some homosexuals are too stupid to understand the difference, and they side with Muslims in their stupidity, thinking that one minority is the same as the next so long as both hate America and share a number of the same cliches.
