Although some reports have claimed otherwise, gays in Iraq are being "executed in batches," convicted for the crime of homosexuality. According to Reuters, "Two gay men were killed in Baghdad's Sadr City slum...and police said they had found the bodies of four more after clerics urged a crackdown on a perceived spread of homosexuality." These killings reportedly happened last Thursday. Before the executions -- wherein hundreds of Iraqi gays are currently eligible, if you will, for execution -- sermons "condemning homosexuality were read at the last two Friday prayer gatherings in Sadr City, a sprawling Baghdad slum of some 2 million people." A Sadr City Shi'ite cleric official noted, "this (homosexuality) has spread because of the absence of the Mehdi Army, the spread of sexual films and satellite television and a lack of government surveillance."

sad, but hardly shocking news. Does anyone really think the United States gives a shit about human rights abuses as long as they get the oil from Iraq and the cheap heroin from Afghanistan?
The U.S. knew about the taliban's atrocities against women in afghanistan for YEARS before they decided to "liberate" the country (i.e., make it worse for them). If they don't even care about women being caned for showing an ankle in public, do you really think they care about gays being executed?
yeah ok, so in Iraq, muslims are killing muslims because one is shiite and one is sunni. Gays have been at the very bottom of the barrel when it comes to anyone in the middle east caring about them forever now. All across the ME, being Jewish is even more respected than being gay...this shouldn't be a shock. Care more about the Jamaican anti gay thing first
