    It gets better. Under Iranian "law" ( a joke in itself) there MUST be four (4) witnesses to a homosexual act for conviction. And these four people are supposedly witnessing homosexual sex ; how ? and why ?

    I know there's at least one bisexual from Iran.

    I find all these anti-muslim values and traditions to be very uncomfortable. Please check your bigotry and have a little tolerance.

    Nothing anti-Muslim has been expressed in this thread.

    I am not opposed to Islam. I am opposed to bigotry. Muslim extremists are to Islam what the KKK is to Christianity. There is absolutely nothing defensible--I don't care what your religion--about killing homosexuals or lynching blacks.

    Explain to me what you think the anti muslims violence and bigotry is here? Unless it's in the clips which i didn't think i could watch. I saw a couple of hanging pictures on other sites and that was enough for me.

    I see scholars have addressed this before and try and explain his behavior as cultural. Men do interact with men like kissing and holding hands in other cultures and it is not considered homosexual behavior. In Puritan TV America it is. His whole scthick is his culture vs the decadent western culture. Most western bloggers are calling BS on him. We can't project Western values on him and judge him accurately, but we can project religious values on him and weigh him. A secular approach to him would be like dancing for someone only to find out monopoly money is their currency standard. The answer to him should be don't come in the club.

    Do you think this criticism of Ahmendinejad is anti muslim? And why so?

    And they are very possessive of their women. OMG! when I see a muslim woman, I give her alot of props because she has to put with alot more than the western woman; the inequality and the male chauvinism.
    All I know is, thank God I wasn't born into that religion.

    I'll bite... more then one religion that has its roots in the old testament views being gay as an abomination of sorts. On the flip side, today we are increasingly becoming aware that (putting aside social homosexuality) it's a genetic orientation, and harmless. It's not the kind of trait that tends to result in children so it doesn't tend to thrive in the gene pool, but OTOH it causes no harm and never completely disappears either. Put another way, what two people do in private has absolutely no effect, non, zilch, nada, on others, so why they care is beyond me, unless they are bored and just want to burn up time poking into other people's business (hint - find something useful to do, please). Homosexuality doesn't lead to unwanted children, so except for some orgasms, no harm done- DUH.


    As for the Muslim tie-in, well, it is a religion that has it's roots in the old testament. Enough said.
