Liberal Ignorance at its Finest: Gays and Muslim Unite?

[We Keep Receipts 9,238]

While I agree that we should focus more on this country, it is not uncommon for us to pay attention to other countries.

I remember when I was younger, there was a lot of attention given to South Africa and apartheid ( I Ain't Gonna Play Sun City ) There just hasn't been as much outrage on the left for gay rights, or women's rights, in these current situations. There has been some, but not enough in my opinion.

And you need to quit trying to change this conversation to Christians. It's not about us and anyway, we're the good guys.

I think there's nothing wrong with wanting equal rights for ALL human beings. When you hear about suffering anywhere, it's normal to react to it. And I don't have a problem with it. I just we need to clear our own mess before we start throwing stones at someone else.

Sure you are...

So since someone might not want to sell a gay couple a wedding cake, and is forced to by our Govt, we can't talk about Govt's that execute people for being gay ?

Sure. But let's be clear about what you're trying to say. You said Islam is Homophobic. By that measure, so is Christianity. You can't judge one without judging the other. The countries that execute gays don't have separation of church and state, something that we have here. The better conversation would be look at the countries that DON'T have that in comparison to those that do. Because if they did and these things still happened, then you could say that was the case.

And why do they have a bunch of religious wackos running their country ?

I don't know. I'm not in charge of the country. Why don't you ask them, then get back here and let us know what's going on.

It's cool. I'm sure there will be another article like this and we'll do this dance again. I got nothing but time and knowledge.

as a liberal, it is my nature.

the jack pot would be picking up the corpse of a lesbian muslim black woman. five birds with one stone.

tell kip i send my luv.

Can you find one bent toward terrorism infected with Ebola? That would be the full Monty.

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

Spluttering over and over about what countries have death penalties for being gay is a deflection, no one's more aware of those realities than millions of gay Muslims. Clearly it's about more than the OP could ever grasp. I'd like to know when exactly the OP became any kind of source for what Islam wants, what gays want, what both groups stand to gain from each other's support, and what to do with the concept of real life gay Muslims, and their 1400+ year existence. Just because the OP can't wrap his head around it doesn't make it any less of a thing.

If the American Taliban could have their way, we'd have the death penalty for gays here, too.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/worldviews/wp/2014/02/24/here-are-the-10-countries-where-homosexuality-may-be-punished-by-death/

Here are the 10 countries where homosexuality may be punishable by death:

Yemen: According to 1994 penal code, married men can be sentenced to death by stoning for homosexual intercourse. Unmarried men face whipping or one year in prison. Women face up to seven years in prison.

Iran: In accordance with sharia law, homosexual intercourse between men can be punished by death, and men can be flogged for lesser acts such as kissing. Women may be flogged.

Iraq: The penal code does not expressly prohibit homosexual acts, but people have been killed by militias and sentenced to death by judges citing sharia law.

Mauritania: Muslim men engaging in homosexual sex can be stoned to death, according to a 1984 law. Women face prison.

Nigeria: Federal law classifies homosexual behavior as a felony punishable by imprisonment, but several states have adopted sharia law and imposed a death penalty for men. A law signed in early January makes it illegal for gay people countrywide to hold a meeting or form clubs.

Qatar: Sharia law in Qatar applies only to Muslims, who can be put to death for extramarital sex, regardless of sexual orientation.

Saudi Arabia: Under the country’s interpretation of sharia law, a married man engaging in sodomy or any non-Muslim who commits sodomy with a Muslim can be stoned to death. All sex outside of marriage is illegal.

Somalia: The penal code stipulates prison, but in some southern regions, Islamic courts have imposed Sharia law and the death penalty.

Sudan: Three-time offenders under the sodomy law can be put to death; first and second convictions result in flogging and imprisonment. Southern parts of the country have adopted more lenient laws.

United Arab Emirates: Lawyers in the country and other experts disagree on whether federal law proscribes the death penalty for consensual homosexual sex or only for rape. In a recent Amnesty International report, the organization said it was not aware of any death sentences for homosexual acts. All sexual acts outside of marriage are banned.
