Baley Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Iraqi Police 'Killed 14-Year-Old Boy for Being Homosexual' Human rights groups have condemned the "barbaric" murder of a 14-year-old boy, who, according to witnesses, was shot on his doorstep by Iraqi police for the apparent crime of being gay. Ahmed Khalil was shot at point-blank range after being accosted by men in police uniforms, according to his neighbours in the al-Dura area of Baghdad. Shiite spiritual leader Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani (AFP/File) Campaign groups have warned of a surge in homophobic killings by state security services and religious militias following an anti-gay and anti-lesbian fatwa issued by Iraq's most prominent Shia leader, Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani. Ali Hili, the co-ordinator of a group of exiled Iraqi gay men who monitor homophobic attacks inside Iraq, said the fatwa had instigated a "witch-hunt of lesbian and gay Iraqis, including violent beatings, kidnappings and assassinations".

ShadowPaladin V1.0 Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Makes you wonder if they are really worth the effort dosnt it... Still at least they are not trying to blame the yanks for it. I have to agree with Volourn. Bioware is pretty much dead now. Deals like this kills development studios. 478327[/snapback] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volourn Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Give it time. Aomeone will. Likely the following: "This would never happen under Saddam's watch. He only used machines to mass slaughter people. That's no biggy." R00fles! Anyways, I'm disasapointed in Sistani. He used to be kewl now this is just plain shameful. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.

Kaftan Barlast Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Whats with these people in the middle-east and their spiritual leaders? These guys look pretty much like a reincarnation of satan to me.

Judge Hades Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Its human nature to kill and destroy those who are considered different. It is a fundamental flaw in our own development as a species. It doesn't sadden me nor makes me disappointed in the efforts in Iraq. Its just more proof that the human animal is a beast that needs to be put down.

LoneWolf16 Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Yes, but you need people to vote you into a high government position. Or, you could amass an army of willing followers and begin a savage global take over...

deganawida Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Prove me wrong. Humanity has done more harm to itself and the world at large than any sort of good. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That depends. Are you looking at it from an individual level, or at the species level? As a species, humanity has done itself remarkably well, increasing lifespan, healthcare, and availability of the basic necessities (food, water, shelter). Remember, a species has no inherent concern for its environment, only that successive generations survive and thrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bully picks on a minority that cannot defend itself, in order to make them look "big". Pandering to bigotry for the cheap, quick win. If successful, these morons will start their own agrarian commune, like Pol Pot did in "Democratic" Kampuchea. Put all the knowledge workers, like doctors, into the fields to till the soil for an honest living. And women will take their place in soceity, as chattel. Something as abhorent as Taliban, for example. OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
