Default Gay Rights Hero Murdered in Iraq

Gay Rights Hero Murdered in Iraq
by RS Davis
The Freedom Files




Hello Freedomphiles! Sad news this morning. Twenty-seven year old Iraqi gay activist Bashar was assassinated yesterday. While sitting in a barber shop, gunmen busted in and riddled the young hero with bullets.

Bashar led Iraqi LGBT, a safe house for oppressed gays on the run from psycho fanatic militias. He housed about 40 people at a time, and was responsible for saving the lives of dozens of people.

Alli HIli - also of Iraqi LGBT - commented: "Violence against gays has intensified sharply since late 2005, when Iraq's leading Shiite Muslim cleric, Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, issued a fatwa, or religious decree, which declared that gays and lesbians should be 'killed in the worst, most severe way possible.

"Since then, LGBT people have been specifically targeted by the Madhi Army, the militia of fundamentalist Shia cleric, Muqtada al-Sadr, as well as by the Badr organisation and other Shia death squads."

Human rights activist Scott Portman said: "homosexuality is sometimes interpreted by people in Iraq as being a Western import. So they can sometimes be targeted by insurgent groups or militias in part because of animosity toward the West..."

Animosity toward the West? Okay, f-ck it. I'm going to say it. Most of the Middle East is a backward sh-thole, where women are treated as chattel and hunting homosexuals is a sport. The term human rights is rarely uttered there, except maybe as a punchline to a joke.

What the Hell happened over there? When the Persians and Arabs ruled the world, they were at the forefront of science, philosophy, and technology. They've somehow devolved back to the seventh century, mired themselves in fanatical anarchronistic intolerance and hatred.

And this in Bush's grand experiment in exporting democracy.

Sorry, "gay rights" and "heroes" is an oxymoron.

Why is it that nothing is said when a heterosexual is assaulted but the moment some pervert is assaulted, all of a sudden the victim is some sort of hero.

Why the hell can't assault be assault, murder be murder, vandalism be vandalism, etc. REGARDLESS OF THE VICTIM'S PERSONAL PROCLIVITIES!?!?!?!?!? And why the hell don't governments equally and vigorously enforce the laws against assault, murder, vandalism, etc.?

"I'm a panda," he says at the door. "Look it up."

The waiter turns to the relevant entry and, sure enough, finds an explanation.

"Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves."

Because in some societies, you 'owe' society your servitude, including their idea of morality. Many would like to bring that anti-liberty paradigm here and mask it as progressive / neoconservitism....whichever brand of despotism you prefer.

Sometimes I totally agree with you, and sometimes you offend me to my very core. That is a douchey thing to say. You should be ashamed.

This is a man who risked his life daily to protect people who were being hunted down by militias simply because they were gay. This IS about gay rights - they weren't hunting down redheads.

But the victim's morality or lack thereof really has nothing to do with the fact that he was assaulted or murdered or his house was vandalized - it may be the excuse the perpetrators used but the only thing that really matters is the crime itself.

Besides, it's really perverted to elevate dead homos to the level of hero just for being dead homos when there are breeder women who get killed in the process of being raped but they're not elevated to the level of hero.

Why is being gay perverted? The key is that people are being targeted simply because one group has an irrational dislike of them, as you seem to do by your callous reference to them as perverted homos.


This is the ultimate hypocrisy. The comedy writes itself. Freedom-fighter RAWR LIBERTY chan is prejudiced against gay people and thinks civil liberties advocates don't deserve mention when killed...for fighting for civil liberties.

Chan is literally a parody of his own beliefs. Archie bunker really is a fitting avatar.


You can guarantee he'd be on it like a fly on sht if it said "libertarian killed for promoting libertarianism. Then it would be an outrage." Only in Chan's mind can someone who is assassinated for advocating liberty not be significant.
