BAGHDAD – The bodies of two gay men have been found in Baghdad's Shiite slum of Sadr City after a leading cleric repeatedly condemned homosexuality, an Iraqi police official said Saturday.

The killings come after Shiite cleric Sattar al-Battat repeatedly condemned homosexuality during recent Friday prayers, saying Islam prohibits homosexuality. Homosexual acts are punishable by up to seven years in prison in Iraq.

The two men were believed killed Thursday by relatives who were shamed by their behavior, said the official. Police said they suspected the killings were at the hands of family members because no one has claimed the bodies or called for an investigation.

The killings come weeks after Iraqi police found four bodies in late March buried near Sadr City with the words "pervert" and "puppies" written on their chests, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to release the information.

Puppy is a derogatory word used by residents in Sadr City to refer to homosexuals, the official said.

And this is news because they are gay? Muslims do this to their women everyday, not news. But gay men, new! The media usually whitewashes the brutality of Muslims, but don’t dare touch gay men.....

[Michael.SF.]

Now the left will finally say that the Muslims have gone to far!

[Inkie]

The silly thing is that Jews, women, gays - the liberal voting block - doesn’t get that Islam is their enemy, and Obommer is pro-Islamic.

Tip for the day: When in conversation with Iraqis, never use the term “puppy love.”

Puppy is a derogatory word used by residents in Sadr City to refer to homosexuals, the official said.

I don't get it.

That must really suck. Not only are you in Iraq, but you're a homo too? That's one bad hand.

Now the left will finally say that the Muslims have gone to far!

No, they won't. They will simply ignore this. Islam is one of the stripes in the multicultural orgasmic rainbow flag. Liberals wear that flag so closely to their skin, that the dies have penetrated into their flesh. Liberals will give Muslims a free pass on this.

That proves the liberalism is a mental disorder. Don’t they realize that if Islam takes over they will be the first to lose their heads?

No, they don't realize that because they have not thought that far ahead. All liberals see is that Islam is not Western, and therefore they approve of it. And the more Islam fights the West, the more that liberals will approve of it. If that means deceit, that is what they will do--anything but the truth.

Mayhap the queers from Iowa will go to Iraq to protest?

[Future Snake Eater]

So that would be almost any two men in almost any part of Baghdad...

[Future Snake Eater]

Ah, correction, Sadr City...except for the first block on the SE side, that entire area is a slum. Still nicer than Dora and Shaab/Ur, though.

Question for the informed, regarding whether or not we are in a “war of civilizations”:

With the news article for which this thread was posted in mind;

of all the nations or societies in which this type of event is not only a frequent occurrence, but a socially excused event, is their ONE religion that dominates in all of them? And if so, what is that religion?

I think you all know the answer.

George Bush was wrong. We are living in a time of a war between civilizations, though not every front in that war is carried out by terrorism, and not every player among our opposition may support terrorism.

"The killings come after Shiite cleric Sattar al-Battat repeatedly condemned homosexuality during recent Friday prayers, saying Islam prohibits homosexuality."

Now that the Muzzie Imam's are making it clear that Islam condems homo's, will we see homo's going to Baghdad and throwing a gay pride parade? I sure do hope so. That is one gay pride parade I'd actually want to see.

I wonder if they will march on mosks in America demanding to be married in a Mosk? That would be fun to see as well.

"Puppy is a derogatory word used by residents in Sadr City to refer to homosexuals, the official said."

That's why Arabs love Micheal Jackson so much, and why he spends so much time in Dubai. He makes big bucks singing "puppy love" to the peverted Prince and his nutless lover.

"George Bush was wrong. We are living in a time of a war between civilizations, though not every front in that war is carried out by terrorism, and not every player among our opposition may support terrorism."

Jihad has many forms. To participate in Jihad doesn't mean you have to go blow yourself up, or kill infidels where ever they are; it's also a covert operation, infiltrating the enemy, and destroying it from within, establishing beachhead and securing supplies, money, shelter for the more ruthless of Jihadi's who love the more bloody aspects of Jihad.

“Jihad has many forms.”

Yes, that’s what working for the Caliphate is all about, whether for a Muslim Brotherhood “mainstream” Muslim or a terrorist.

The deceit that is taking place is the one where the subversion and its goal is well-hidden in the political language the Brotherhood has developed and trained its people in; hidden from all who are ignorant or who are willing to let them get away with it.
