Yes, it seems that once again, the Iranians are telling us exactly what they believe. Will the Left listen, or just chalk it up to a misunderstand, as when Mahmoud said he wanted to wipe Israel off the map?
Homosexuals deserve to be executed or tortured and possibly both, an Iranian leader told British MPs during a private meeting at a peace conference, The Times has learnt.
Mohsen Yahyavi is the highest-ranked politician to admit that Iran believes in the death penalty for homosexuality after a spate of reports that gay youths were being hanged.
Actually, the Left has gone after Mahmoud a bit on this issue. Why is it they will believe that Iran will torture and kill gays, but do not believe that Iran does want to destroy Israel, and is actually fomenting much of the violence against Israel now, as well as against our own soldiers? Is their some sort of quota that needs to be filled?
Unfreaking-believably, this made it into a major liberal news source, which is usually so tolerant of Muslim extremist practices
