Trevor Blake: O ye who believe!
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is the current President of the Islamic Republic of Iran. He recently told an audience at Columbia University: “We don’t have homosexuals like in your country. We don’t have that in our country. In Iran, we do not have this phenomena. I don’t know who’s told you that we have it.” [video] And maybe he’s right. Because in Iran, homosexuality is punishable by death. [photos and video] President Ahmadinejad is merely following the simple, plainly-stated dictates of his religion when he orders and condones the execution of homosexuals. Christians have the exact same simple, plainly-stated dictate in their religion but they like to pretend they do not. There seems to be something deeply wrong with Islam and Christianity if the only choices are to either kill people or tell lies. Between the two, better to tell a lie that to kill someone. But wouldn’t it be better still to not kill people and not tell lies? It seems that the invisible monster that lives in the sky is fed by blood and deceit. Let’s starve it out, you and I.
