Last week a Vanderbilt Professor on Islamic Studies openly stated that Islam requires execution of gays.

In Iraq gays are hunted down. Then when imprisoned their anuses are glued shut and they are fed laxatives and water until their internal organs burst. Suspected gays’ names are posted in public and they are either hunted down or treated like a disease. Graves of people “accused” of being gay are dug up and their dead bodies desecrated.

In Iran teen agers accused of being gay are hung.

In Gaza gays are hunted down and executed, many times by their own family members.

In Hamburg, Germany two male college exchange students were leaving a club together. They were attacked by German youth of Turkish Islamic origin, some as young as fifteen, and brutally beaten because the German youth, of Turkish Islamic origin, perceived them to be gay. They beat the exchange students so badly that one is now permanently disabled. Neither of the exchange students were gay.

In Egypt gays who went on a gay cruise were arrested and imprisoned.

What is the common thread? Islam! Islam has butchered and persecuted more gays, via state sanctioned pograms, yet politicians and LGBT community leaders are silent or avoid the issue.
