Slaughter of homosexuals begins again in Islamic Iraq


Excerpts from BNI  http://barenakedislam.com/2012/03/07/no-sooner-are-u-s-troops-out-of-iraq-and-the-slaughter-of-homosexuals-begins-again/ 

New barbaric attacks have started against Iraqi homosexuals in many cities like Baghdad and Basra. Religious savages are torturing gay victims by repeatedly hitting their heads and beating their bodies with concrete building blocks until they die, or throwing them to the street from the roofs of high buildings.

Workers Liberty  The actions of killings, torture, and dismembering against those who were described as “adulterous” by Islamic Shia militias, besides hanging lists on the walls of several sections in Al-Sadr city and in Al-Habibea region, had all terrorized the society at large and especially the Iraqi LGBT community, knowing that those attacks are directed against anyone suspected with gay practices or appearance.
“The first killings took place on the sixth of February 2012 and continued or rather escalated till the current days. One of the hanged lists in Al-Sadr city included the names and addresses of 33 person, while other lists included other tens of names in other areas. News confirmed that 42 gay men were tortured and killed so far, mostly by concrete blocks, while some by dismembering.
“The Islamic militias in Iraq believe that the religious family should consist of a male husband and a female wife, and is the cornerstone of building a pious Islamic society. Such an institution is handed to the males to rule and control.
Under such an institution, they deny the right-to-life, or rather they command a death sentence against all who do not fit under the religious description of a family.
“Based on those rules, the campaigns of honor killings happen against women and LGBT under the same token. Just as women face honour killing as a result of extra marital affairs, the lesbians and the gays face the same destiny because of their sexual practices which do not relate to marriage.
“We call on all freedom-lovers of the world, the women’s and human rights organization and governments in the advanced world to put pressure on the Iraqi government to provide protection to the lgbt in Iraq, and establish legislation for defending their right to life, and criminalizing all aggressions against them.
We demand also a full enquiry into the groups and criminal behind the killing campaign and that they get full punishment from the legal and correctional system.”

Video: Institutionalized Child Abuse in Islamic Country

St. John Bosco warned candidates to his religious order that boys are like women,  "Puer sicut mulier."  That is why he was quite intransigent with excluding candidates that are unsure of being chaste and pure around boys because, "They will be in grave danger."  Recently, there were articles  linking homosexuality and child sexual abuse; however, I doubt whether that is always the case.  It is also possible that heterosexuals would have this preference as shown by this age old traditional practice in this Islamic country.

On homosexual tendencies

Last week, a man smashed a bottle on a gay persons head at a bar in Georgetown.  Recently, I heard kids tease each other as "you homo".  Perhaps, it will help to articulate the Church's teaching on the matter so that we can teach our children by word and example how the Lord Jesus would treat these people.

In fact, Jesus might have enlisted the assistance of a homosexual for his last supper. In Mark 14: 13, Jesus asked his followers to meet & follow "...a man carrying a jar of water..." Back then, women carried the jars of water, so this guy might have been gay or an Essene monk. 

Regardless, the Church today teaches that homosexuals "must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity." Here's the official text from the Vatican:http://www.vatican.va/archive/ccc_css/archive/catechism/p3s2c2a6.htm
2358 The number of men and women who have deep-seated homosexual tendencies is not negligible. This inclination, which is objectively disordered, constitutes for most of them a trial. They must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided. These persons are called to fulfill God's will in their lives and, if they are Christians, to unite to the sacrifice of the Lord's Cross the difficulties they may encounter from their condition.

For clarity, I am not a proponent of same sex marriage nor do I tacitly condone sinful unions nor support anyones right for a same sex union.   And I am straight.
