Some human rights activists and opponents of the government in Iran claim between 4,000 and 6,000 gay men and lesbians have been executed in Iran for crimes related to their sexual orientation since 1979.[17][18] According to The Boroumand Foundation,[19] there are records of at least 107 executions with charges related to homosexuality between 1979 and 1990.[20] According to Amnesty International, at least 5 people convicted of "homosexual tendencies", three men and two women, were executed in January 1990, as a result of the government's policy of calling for the execution of those who "practice homosexuality".[21]
In a November 2007 meeting with his British counterpart, Iranian member of parliament Mohsen Yahyavi admitted that the government in Iran believes in the death penalty for homosexuality. According to Yahyavi, gays deserve to be tortured, executed, or both.[22]
Religious extremists have persecuted and promoted the persecution of homosexuals. That’s well known.
More from O'Keefed. Killing gays is just part of the "despicable regime" in Iran, it has nothing to do with Islam,
Look how blob dishonestly conflates the acts of the despicable regime in Iran into a broad claim about Islam.
Btw, what's my "broad claim about Islam" Kunt? My claim is that you won't find this kind of state sanctioned murder of homosexuals anywhere else in the world outside of Muslim majority country.
That's my "broad claim" that just happens to be a fact.

I missed the part where I said "this has nothing to do with Islam." Didn't you save the post where I said that?

I missed the part where I made some broad claim about Islam.
Here you are running interference for Islam claiming that the policy of killing gays is no different than the Salem Witch trials and Christianity.
It has as much to do with Islam as the Salem Witch Trials have to do with Christianity or the KKK has to do with the GOP. There's nuts everywhere . . . but look who I'm telling that to!
Yeah but you're not saying it has nothing to do with Islam.
Btw, what's my "broad claim about Islam" Kunt? My claim is that you won't find this kind of state sanctioned murder of homosexuals anywhere else in the world outside of Muslim majority country.

So you're just making an interesting observation. I'm glad to hear it. For a minute there I thought you might be suggesting your statement had some policy implications.
How much does the KKK have to do with the GOP O'Keefed? Nothing. But hey, you're not claiming tossing gays off buildings or state sanctioned stoning of gays has nothing to do with Islam.

So both you and Hondo said a policy of murdering gays has nothing to do with Islam.

It's just "nuts" who are doing this.
Whoosh! Way to miss the point, Lady.
The Salem Witch trials did have something to do with Christianity. The GOP does get the bulk of the KKK vote--and the KKK has something to do with Christianity too. And throwing gays off building tops does have something to do with Islam. No one said otherwise.
Lots of reprehensible things have some relationship to religion. Forcing rape victims to bear their rapist's children comes to mind.
Comments
When we last discussed Iran's policy of tossing gays off of buildings Hondo said:
The issue in the middle East isn't the religion, it's the shitty cultures they live in. And some people use religion as the excuse.
Here's O'Keefed blaming the policy on "religious extremists" but not Islam

"Bulk of the vote" what a fucking dishonest piece of shit you are O'Keefed.
I would think that any party that was sympathetic to NAMBLA and soft on crime in general would get the bulk of the pedophile vote.
