So, LGBT Americans paid taxes to bring about this situation in Iraq in which LGBT people can be tortured and killed. Seems to me that Saddam Hussein is dead, but his tyranny lives on.

This is absolutely appalling…I can’t even fathom the in which the manner these innocent people are being murdered. They need some form of protection, perhaps weapons?…The extremist Killers they are dealing with wont stop until their dead.

I believe the only way this can end is if the gay community their sticks together and fights back when being attacked (Gun or something!) Even then…they might be prosecuted and given the death penalty for defending themselves. Tragic, reading this brought tears to my eyes.

Look at Prop 8! Look at what is occuring in Maine! Look at our congress and the problems that are preventing the Hate Crime bill from passing. And there are other examples in the U.S. that can be cited. The Christian TALIBAN in this counrty is only one step away from exercising the cruelty that is happening in Iraq – openly. Much of the cruelty is already occuring, but “behind closed doors.” In this country the seeds are planted in the same way they are planged in Irag – FROM THE PULPITS!

One very good step to stop this tide would be to repeal the laws at all levels of government that give a tax examption to religious property.

The indiscriminate killing and destroying of lives in Moslem and Islamic ruled countries is a human rights tragedy incited by extreme fundamentalist clerics and religious leaders. It is very frightening that the possibility of such evil is gradually infiltrating itself into Western Society, although we see some of the same mentality in our so called Christian and Evangelical sects. Governments and Human Rights organizations need to clamp down heavily on these radical religious organizations that incite hate and violence towards Gay and Lesbian people. The question is, how? Religion, whether it be Christian, Moslem, Islam has had way too much power for generations, a power which they have abused over and over again by their human rights violations.

These actions only go to prove what a truly sick and disturbed belief system the Islamic faith is. And they have the nerve to wonder why they are not welcomed with open arms in other countries (who no doubt don’t want their toxic ways to pollute civilized society).
