Anti-gay beating sparks new row in Morocco

Videos showing a crowd attacking a presumed homosexual in public in Morocco because of his appearance triggered fresh controversy on Tuesday over social intolerance in the conservative Muslim country.

The website Goud posted a three-minute video of the man trying in vain to take shelter in a taxi to escape angry youths in the central city of Fez.

His appearance in what looked like a white dress and his gait had upset the youths, it said.

The man is seen in the video collapsing to the ground under an avalanche of blows from an expanding circle of youths.

He finally gets to his feet, clothes torn, and tries to take cover in a shop before a policeman appears and holds up his gun to disperse the crowd.

In a widening debate on social media, Le360 website compared the scene to the "barbarity" of the Islamic State jihadist group which carries out public executions in Syria.

Goud, for its part, said the man could face legal action over homosexuality, which is illegal in the conservative North African state.

Exactly

They didn’t blindfold and tape him to a chair and throw him off a 10 story building.

“Conservative Muslim country”.

Nope, that’s like saying that hardline Communists are “Conservative Communists”.

It is an Islamist Muslim country, Islamic supremacist, Islamic Fundamentalist, etc. but conservative has nothing to do with it.

Because wife and woman beating and slavery for Christians in those parts is not as important.

Where is the media to cover the preachers who were beaten by homosexuals or the homosexuals defacing a church?
