Since 1979, over 4,000 gays and lesbians have been executed in Iran. They are, however, given a “Choice of Deathstyles.”

While showing this give validity to the plight of the victims, I must say it is so appalling, disgusting and downright evil, I’m ashamed for those who participate in the terrorizing, torturing and killing of children, women and men. The crowds of people who watch and do nothing to stop it. May the One True God have mercy upon the victims of Sharia. How completely vile and sad. Religion of peace?
Unbelievable. Reading and hearing about this is one thing, but this video really cuts to the bone.
Some in this country think they have it bad. This country better think twice about the direction it is going before are forced to this.
funny how you would link this not even seeing the sheer parallels between the iran religious fanatics and those here in the US, who, bush supporters like yourselves, salivate at the prospect of dead gays.
irony? I think not.
Sigh…. The point of the video – which you seemed to have missed, Jackie – is that the dangers gays face in strict Islamic societies is far worse than anything they experience here in America, where their biggest concern is what they will wear to the next Gay Pride Parade not whether or not they will be allowed to live. I’m sure your little rant is due to opposition to gay marriage, which is not limited to any religion nor equates to wanting gays dead (it’s actually a rather long-held notion, certainly predating the start of this country). Wake up and start living in the real world.
I wish I could remember the name of the recent book by the gay American who moved to Europe to escape our “fundamentalist” attitudes and ended up moving back after he got some perspective because I would certainly recommend that you read it.
further, the point is it’s not just gays who killed: women who are ‘immoral’ and anyone whom the state defines as an ‘enemy’ are just as likely to find themselves at the end of a rope.
girls as young as *nine years old*. think of that the next time you look at your daughter or niece.
can’t happen?

her crime: being a sassy sixteen year old.
you can hate Bush. you can hate America. you can oppose the war against islamic terror, call it American Imperialism if you want.
but this is what you get without Western values. and when those who don’t fight this this fascism get what they get, they’d better not be upset.
wow, inmypajamas, so gays in the u.s. should be grateful they are not hanged for the people they are! how generous of you.
I find worthy of note the recent legalization of gay marriage by Israel. This should confuse some people on the traditional left. European countries will soon be having a great deal of trouble with such legalization as their Islamic populations increase. But they have made their pact with the Devil.
The point pietro is that gays in America overblow their ficticious state of oppression.
Its wrong to be homosexual, but you CAN have sex with a goat! islam is evil.
