No gays in Iran
 

Well, there you have it folks. They don't abuse homosexuals in Iran because they just don't have any:

Of course, he never said why they don't have any gays...

This gives him lots of credibility on the women's rights issue, eh?

How is it that here in the 21st century such a complete and utter nutjob like this could be the leader of a large and powerful country like Iran? Scary stuff.

All the Iranian gays are in yahoo messenger chat rooms. Mindful thinks they aren't really Iranian, and that it's a big conspiracy to make Iran look bad.

I am telling you some of these countries (Islamic) look exactly like Countries would look if fundamentalist Christians took over the countries. Both groups have a lot in common.

SoonerCoug stay out of those chat rooms

Oh I do.

I only visited yahoo chat rooms a time or too, and most were entitled: "Tehran Gay Sex." So I left. After all, Tehran is not a convenient location, and I already live across the street from Oklahoma City's gay district:

I lose road access to my home one Saturday per year because all the crazy Christians park on my street to protest the gay pride parade.

well, Yahoo quoted him as saying "in Iran we dont have homosexuals like in your country and its apparently different from " we dont have any "! not going to assess which is more accurate ,CNN or Yahoo though.

I have talked with my husband ,who is a physician and has been working in different rural and urban areas for alomst 14 years ,and he told me that he has never encountered with any gays for all these years ..
unbelievable ,isn't it?

but its what he constatnly was saying tonight ,and he isnot even a conservative .

i dont think it is going to prove of not having any gay here though.

so whats up with gay community here in iran ? i have no idea either
why ?? frankly becuase itsnot something accepted by iranians , culturally religiously ,rationally and scientifically ...

when i say gay ,i mean people who consciously/deliberately choose to be gay , not some guys and girls who might enter yahoo porn flooded chat rooms started sending/receiving privet messages. since i dont see the huge probability of whether they want to follow this approach in their real life too.

Good enough ,they havenot being sent to mission!

If punishment is so extremene, what person would admit to being gay?

In Nazi Germany, do you believe sequestered Jews admitted to being Jewish?

I realised people in here are RECENTLY were enjoying to have you commenting in any thread ,no matter what !

cannot see myself included .

So who works at Banana Republic in Iran?

OK, no gays in Iran. Just bestiality. Khomeini's comments on the matter:

"The meat of horses, mules, or donkeys is not recommended. It is strictly forbidden if the animal was sodomized while alive by a man. In that case, the animal must be taken outside the city and sold."

"If one commits an act of sodomy with a cow, a ewe, or a camel, their urine and their excrements become impure, and even their milk may no longer be consumed. The animal must then be killed as quickly as possible and burned, and the price of it paid to its owner by him who sodomized it."

"It is forbidden to consume the excrement of animals or their nasal secretions. But if such are mixed in minute proportions into other foods their consumption is not forbidden."
"If a man (God protect him from it!) fornicates with an animal and ejaculates, ablution is necessary."

And another quote:
"A man can have sex with animals such as sheeps, cows, camels and so on. However, he should kill the animal after he has his orgasm. He should not sell the meat to the people in his own village; however, selling the meat to the next door village should be fine."

what punishment ???
i told you in the other thread that if a sin or crime isnot public ,there wont be any punishment ..and gay is something that is rare to happen in first place due to the cultural and religious belifes, so .. .not sure what you mean by that .

ps :rest rooms industry in iran is long way yet to develop

well ,it needs its own thread .. hijacking the thread is always " bad" even for you :)

Watch the way you throw around the word "hijacking," my Iranian friend. We Americans aren't the ones known for it.

Tell him to look for the men who iron their T-shirts.

you know what ?? knowing nothing about a country and its religion and people ,yet commenting brutally is like a patient' who knows not about disease ,nor medicine but complaining about the treatment.

Islam is a religion which has program for the every day life ,every one ,every where and every time .so it simply doesnt ignore who might have done wrong. ..it has specific instructions for them to compensate thier wrong and provide the opportunity to have them back to the life.

ironically ,if islam is that violent ,so how is it that nice in this topic??

You're right. Islam=peace. Islam is very nice to people who have sex with camels.

for the sake of heaven ,lets one man remains good on the face of earth.mind you :)

you are always great in conclusion like your rest of americans compatriots!

Has anybody EVER been tempted in this way? Does this rule really need to be there?

I just thought that was kind of funny, that's all.

edit: I own page three, bow down before pg 3 pwnage!!!

I would bother to clarify some points in here ,if the quote which soonercoug cited was remotely reliable, but in all due regret ,its not .

particularly this part when he says " A man can have sex with animals such as sheeps...."

this sentence is Literally ,Fundementally,Absolutely False.

it has not been translated to convey his point of view ,rather spread sheer propaganda to make horrible impression.Ayatollah khomeini could never have told something like this .

the true translation goes like " if someone Had a closeness with animal , not" man CAN have sex with animals" .. and its a huge ,huge difference .

i am reading the farsi version of Ayatollah khomeini's speach and i cannot believe someone just might have made an error while translating the text.

There mere fact that Khomeini felt a need to address the issue speaks volumes.

you are not denying the presence of the many AA (adult/animal) industries which are still considered as "necessity" in your super indulgent society ,are you ??

but thank you very much for proving to me how you collect your "facts".

What does closeness with an animal mean? It sounds like a euphemism for sex.

I know a lot of people who were very close to their animals and even some who preferred the animal over their spouse, however I never thought they took it beyond friendship.

Heck, I feel a closeness for most all of you on this board.

I feel a closeness for your avatar, and it's not a bestiality closeness. However, unlike a closeness to your animals, you are not compelled to slaughter it.

yes ,it could be so .. you have a good reputation in using matchless words and i am trying to achive a reputation in euphemism ...wish me luck !

Nice to see ,my post in an old thread helped you post something smart. i have a perfect collection of images as well ,in case you needed !

Someone might misunderstand what you just said and take it I don't post something smart everytime.
