Gay Diplomat Fears He'll Be Murdered If He Returns Home to Saudi Arabia

[Swede]

A diplomat at the Saudi consulate in LA is seeking asylum, saying he fears his countrymen "will kill me openly in broad daylight" should he return. Why? Because they found out that he's gay, and friends with a Jew.

1. What is he afraid of?

Murder? Just because of who he is and who he is friends with?

That doesn't sound like the peaceful Saudi Arabia that is such god friends with the US.

3. dupe topic...

not that it doesn't bear re-mentioning.
it's terrible that he's so fearful (with good reason)

sadly I don't think he'll live long even if he gets asylum, considering how far up the house of saud's ass the * kkkartel and darth cheney are.

It would be nice if he could help us take down the house of saud before that happens.

honestly I hope he lives a long and quiet life, when he gets asylum.

...as a punishment?
