ISLAM: IRAN KILLS AND TORTURES GAYS. THE AMERICAN LEFT IS SILENT.

WHY LEFTISTS TOLERATE TYRANNY
In the Islamic Republic of Iran, homosexuals are executed, harassed, tortured, or forced by the government to get gender-altering operations. The Left is silent.

Why the Left ignores this? Leftists aggressively push the homosexual agenda in the Western world – so aggressive that it seems that their actual agenda is not gay rights but to make gays a preferred class and non-gays second class citizens in the eyes of the law and society. However, when in comes to Islamic tyrants who are actually killing and torturing homosexuals simply for their sexual preferences, the Left remains silent. Do leftists agree with the Islamic barbarians or are they afraid of them?

Islamic Gulag for Gays:
[E]xecutions are in fact enshrined in Iranian law, where homosexuality is punishable the death penalty. Human rights groups estimate that almost 4,000 gays have been executed since 1979, when the Islamic regime took power. Gays are arrested, beaten, tortured, and in most cases, hanged or even stoned.

Sharia, or Islamic law, the legal code applied in Iran, prohibits any type of sexual activity outside the realm of heterosexual marriage.

In the Qur’an, homosexuals are referred to as qaum Lut, or “the people of Lot,” which alludes to the Biblical character Lot, who was sent by God to go to the land of Sodom and Gomorrah to preach to the inhabitants there against their lustful and wicked ways. Lot’s warnings were ignored and the inhabitants of Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed. Muslims believe the people of Lot’s depravity stemmed from murder, robbery and homosexuality.

At the same time, older males experimenting with younger males has been a part of Islamic societies for centuries as a way to ease sexual temptation in a segregated society that condemns pre-marital sex. Celebrated Iranian poets have often referred to the love between men and young boys in century-old poetry.

According to Sharia (the Islamic law, the legal code applied in Iran) homosexuality is punishable with the death penalty. Human rights groups estimate that almost 4,000 gays have been executed since 1979, when the Islamic regime took power. Gays are arrested, beaten, tortured, and in most cases, hanged or even stoned.

Iran is currently one of five Muslim countries to apply capital punishment to homosexuals along with Saudi Arabia, Mauritania, Sudan, and Yemen, according to the 2010 International Lesbian Gay Association’s World Legal Survey. Under the Taliban, Afghanistan also applied the death penalty, as did Sadaam [sic] Hussein’s regime in Iraq. After the collapse of the Taliban regime, Afghanistan began punishing homosexuality with fines and imprisonment. In Iraq, Muqtada al-Sadr’s Mahdi Islamist militia followed the Taliban’s lead, attacking, torturing and murdering hundreds of gay men in “honor killings.”
