Sistani: "Gays Should Be Killed in Worst Way Possible"

[ECH1969]

His Eminence, Grand Ayatollah Ali Al-Sistani, the supreme religious authority for Shi'ite Msulims in Iraq and worldwide, decrees that gays and lesbians should be killed in the worst manner possible, according to this news article from a London-based gay rights group.

A quick search through Sistani's official website turns up this page, translated as:

Q: What is the judgement on sodomy and lesbianism?

A: "Forbidden. Those involved in the act should be punished. In fact, sodomites should be killed in the worst manner possible."

Thus says the Iranian cleric who was nominated for the 2005 Nobel Peace prize.

1. Hey, Sistani

FUCK YOU!!!!:thumbsdown: :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown:

[BOSSHOG]

2. Sistani, Falwell - What's the difference?

Radicals who hate in the name of whomever they believe in.

Sodomites should be killed? Yo sistani dude, that would include heterosexuals you fucking religious moron.

6. Presumably those hetero sexuals who would engage in sodomy

are just as morally debased as homosexuals, in his mind.

3. and...what am I supposed to do with this information?

I think we pretty much know religous zealotry in any form is bad.

by this I mean, why are you posting this?

[arcos]

12. So, nothing about religious fundamentalism should be posted?

Should we avoid any discussion of it just because we already know it's bad?

Must there be a purpose other than information for anything and everything that is posted?

[Lerkfish]

17. no, my bad...my misunderstanding.

I thought it was trying to say that its ok to bomb Iraq because of this, but that was a garbled perception on my part.

my bad.

[rodeodance]

4. and our troops have died and are dieing for this!

[maddiejoan]

5. I'm confused.

Wouldn't "sodomites should be killed in the worst manner possible" mean we'd all end up still alive?

I mean, ya know ..the worst way to kill somebody would be to like screw up and end up not killing them.

just sayin'

22. I think he means "with lots and lots of pain and blood"

Something like death of a thousand cuts or being crushed in a trash compactor, or maybe run through an industrial meat grinder. Or maybe a steamroller. There's lots of ways to die in the worst manner possible.

Then again, he could just save himself a lot of money and stick someone in a room on the top floor of the tallest building in Teheran with a tape of Shrub speeches, and make the sodomites watch them until they jump out the window.

7. NO difference between Muslim Fundies and

CHRISTIAN Fundies (BUSH).

People would have to be living under a rock for the past 5 years to not know this by now.

13. Been saying that for a long time.

Electing funadmentalists of any religion to the highest levels of government = very dangerous.

10. Proof positive that religious fundamentalism is the ultimate evil...

..regardless of denomination..it is evil and needs to be stamped out once and for all..

Man will kill his fellow man no more cheerfully than when done in the name of religion...

Most extremist ideology sucks ass; religious extremists suck ass tenfold. Hate is hate.
