So much for the rule of law, huh?
We don’t have the right to criticize or demonize their authentic, traditional culture.
Isn’t that right?
Was that Iraq? Or did they mean Brussels or Paris?
So I guess marriage is out of the question??
I would say that you would have to foolish to be openly gay in Iraq. However, the Afghans are openly poofters and say, “Women are for babies but men are for pleasure”.
It seems gays fear Christianity more than they fear the Stone Age culture that would chop their heads off for being gay.
How many thousands US soldiers got killed to achieve this ?
Zero.
Not our concern
So much for tolerance. We get criticized constantly for being xenophobic, and lacking tolerance, and not having diversity etc. etc., but the reality is that this is the safest and most tolerant country of individual human rights in the world.
I guess you can pick and choose what you wish. Persians along with the Greeks openly practiced such behavior. Its still a traditional Persian greeting and departing to kiss ones relatives on the mouth.
So the US pushes for hate crimes laws to protect gays, but simultaneously invites hordes of angry jihadis in to the USA who hate gays and want to persecute them.
Absolutely.
Gotta respect their culture.
I thought that was the Romans that said that.
Time to bring all of our troops home from Iraq and Afghanistan, we’ve accomplished our objectives.
The homos hated Christianity enough to attack it - very successfully - at every turn on every single issue from homosexuality to marriage.
What do you expect muslims to do?
The same thing that dumbed down, pussified Western culture does? LOL!
Seems to be working both ways. Here in the Catholic Diocese of Oakland, California, we recently got a new Bishop, Bishop Corleone (spelling??). He is a good Conservative, and played a very active role in defeating Proposition 8 (”gay” “marriage”) here in California last year, right before he became the Bishop of Oakland.
As a result, he is being frequently attacked by the homo lobby here in the SF Bay Area. In fact, I was told at Church this past weekend that there is apparently a rumor going around in the homo community that Bishop Corleone was the person who actually came up with the original idea for Prop 8 (this may not be true, but there is no accounting for wild rumors in the homo community).
As a result, Bishop Corleone is being targetted with threats from “tolerant” homo’s and liberals. In his sermon this past Sunday, our priest said that the Bishop has even received death threats. For some strange reason, NONE of this has been reported in the State-run news media.
So, homo’s are being executed over in Iraq, while in the meantime, here in the safety of the USA, the homo’s are apparently issuing death threats against good Christians and Conservatives. Please pray for our Bishop. He has an uphill battle ahead of him.
They don't need to hold diversity seminars or promote same-sex marriages, but neither do they need to murder people or invade homes just because someone is suspected of being gay.
Then again, we are talking about crazy religious fundamentalists, who don't seem to have much use for common sense or even basic human decency.
