As the Pakistani military continues the slow push to regain control of the settled district of Swat, suicide bombers struck in two locations, one at a sensitive weapons facility near Islamabad. The most deadly attack occurred in Swat in the Northwest Frontier Province after a suicide bomber hit a police checkpoint near Matta, where the Pakistani Army just established a presence. Ten were killed, including two children and three police.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Please post links to non-gay affiliated conservative sites that are outraged that we are about do deport a gay man back to Iran where he will probably be executed for being gay. One will do.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;

Or anywhere for that matter. Please post any links from HRC, that website belonging to the Greek broad, CNN, MorOn.org, DailyKooks, CBS, ABC, MSNBC etc. shows zip, zero, &lt;b&gt;Nada&lt;/b&gt;. Not even the beloved DNC, who pretends to care more than anybody else, seems to give a damn.

Thank you, drive thru.&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Over and over I hear about the silence of the left on certain issues, but I don’t see any action to help gay people who are being abused around the world from the left. Am I missing something?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Obviously.

You don&#039;t see action from the left to help anybody, gay or otherwise. There&#039;s no money in it.</description>

		<description>What is stupid about it, ILC?

What are you doing to help gays in Iran?  Did YOU write letters to the Bush administration?

Over and over I hear about the silence of the left on certain issues, but I don&#039;t see any action to help gay people who are being abused around the world from the left.  Am I missing something?  Please post links to non-gay affiliated conservative sites that are outraged that we are about do deport a gay man back to Iran where he will probably be executed for being gay.  One will do.

I don&#039;t think you give a rat&#039;s ass about this issue.  You just want to do a little more liberal bashing.  It&#039;s becoming clear that this blog is not about being gay or being a patriot but about hating lefties.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;When people discuss topics here, such as gay marriage, issues like people being tortured/murdered in Iran are used solely to say “stop whining about your rights here, people elsewhere have it worse”&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I wonder if you can provide examples, from this blog, to back up your &lt;b&gt;ASS&lt;/b&gt;ertion.</description>

		<description>There&#039;s a news story out about the Sudan Mohemmed Bear Teacher:

http://www.sundaymirror.co.uk/news/sunday/2007/12/09/my-sudan-hell-by-teddy-bear-row-teacher-98487-20224797/

&lt;blockquote&gt;The trial was bizarre. &quot;The court was packed with witnesses and officials,&quot; says Gillian.

&quot;Policemen stood at the door with guns. The judge sat behind a wooden banister and the lawyers stood before him - my solicitor and the three prosecutors - alongside my translator.

&quot;&lt;strong&gt;They put the bear on trial&lt;/strong&gt;. The clerk produced him like a rabbit out of a hat and &lt;strong&gt;put him in the dock - but the bear collapsed.&lt;/strong&gt;
&quot;So the prosecution sat him up again. Then they pointed at him aggressively, saying, &#039;This is the bear, exhibit A, that caused the offence.&#039;

&quot;The &lt;strong&gt;poor bear was standing there in FREE AT LAST his little school shirt&lt;/strong&gt;. It was absurd.&quot;

Gillian was determined to tell the truth. &quot;I told the judge, &#039;It&#039;s not realistic that I would come all the way to Sudan just to insult the prophet.&#039; I thought they&#039;d let me go.

&quot;But the prosecution were giving it to me both barrels, saying, &#039;She deserves to be punished.&#039; The judge clearly thought so too.&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>

		<description>Well it sounds like that the far right doesn&#039;t really care about the gays in the middle east.  It&#039;s just a smokescreen to keep from talking about other issues.  That&#039;s too bad.  I was hoping that we might find some common ground and perhaps work together on the few things we agree on.  But no one is interested in that.  It&#039;s just a weapon for liberal bashing.  Sad.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Treatment of women in countries with which we’re friendly can be as bad as the treatment/murder of gays in Iran.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Saudi women are getting more and more rights. Iranian gays, however, aren&#039;t.

&lt;blockquote&gt;What’s happening here is that it’s thrown up as some kind of “proof” that all gays on the left support violent, totalitarian regimes. &lt;/blockquote&gt;

Given the left&#039;s love affairs with &quot;Uncle Joe&quot; Stalin, Manuel Ortega, Fidel Castro, Hugo Chavez and enabling Pol-Pot etc. etc. etc., it&#039;s not very far fetched at all.</description>

Netherlands Government Pledges 2.5 m. Euros to Crack Down on Religious Dissent from &quot;Gay Rights&quot;
LifeSiteNews ^ &#124; 12/7/07 &#124; Hilary White


Posted on 12/08/2007 2:53:39 PM CST by wagglebee


AMSTERDAM, December 7, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The Netherlands has led the world in the introduction of the homosexual political movement. Now it is going to be leading the way to cracking down on dissent from the officially &quot;tolerant&quot; position on homosexuality, particularly among those Dutch citizens who &quot;follow a more orthodox religious lifestyle&quot;.

The coalition government has agreed to earmark 2.5 million euros from 2008 to 2011 to promote homosexuality as normal in social areas. The government said that the money will be spent on programmes specifically targeting young Muslims in schools, sport clubs or neighbourhood associations.

Ronald Plasterk, minister of education admitted that Dutch homosexuals enjoy the same rights as everyone else, &quot;socially the acceptance is not automatic among certain ethnic minorities or people who follow a more orthodox religious lifestyle.&quot;

The Netherlands was the first country in the world to institute same-sex &quot;marriage&quot; and allow homosexual partners to adopt children.

The policy will extend, in as-yet undisclosed programmes, to Dutch foreign aid donations. Development Cooperation Minister Bert Koenders told Parliament, &quot;The Netherlands will promote equal rights for gays as much as possible. We will not avoid awkward discussions about this.&quot;

The government told its ambassadors to developing countries to increase pressure on those nations to decriminalize homosexuality.

But it is not merely &quot;religiously orthodox&quot; people who retain at least subconscious objections to public displays of homosexuality. Gay activist Frank van Dalen, president of the Dutch national homosexual lobbyists, Federation of Dutch Associations for Integration of Homosexuality, (COC), complained that a recent poll showed that 48 per cent of the population is shocked by two men kissing and the number goes up to 75 per cent of recent immigrants.

Dutch homosexual activists are powerful at the European Union where pressure is mounting on Poland to adopt the Charter of Fundamental Rights that is seen as a crucial instrument in installing the full programme of gay activism. The EU gay activist group ILGA-Europe praised the increase of pressure to normalize homosexuality by the EU Commission on candidate countries such as Turkey and Serbia.

An ILGA-Europe spokesman said the group &quot;appreciates&quot; such efforts and praised the &quot;clearly positive development in the progress reports as the human rights of LGBT people are explicitly mentioned in a larger number of the eight reports than last year.&quot;</description>

What&#8217;s happening here is that it&#8217;s thrown up as some kind of &#8220;proof&#8221; that all gays on the left support violent, totalitarian regimes.  When people discuss topics here, such as gay marriage, issues like people being tortured/murdered in Iran are used solely to say &#8220;stop whining about your rights here, people elsewhere have it worse&#8221;</p>

		<description>I found this description of what the Palestinians did to a gay guy:

Tayseer refused to implicate others. He was arrested and hung by his arms from the ceiling. A high-ranking officer he didn&#039;t know arranged for his release and then demanded sex as payback. Tayseer fled Gaza to Tulkarem on the West Bank, but there too he was eventually arrested. He was forced to stand in sewage water up to his neck, his head covered by a sack filled with feces, and then he was thrown into a dark cell infested with insects and other creatures he could feel but not see. (&quot;You slap one part of your body, and then you have to slap another,&quot; he recounts.) During one interrogation, police stripped him and forced him to sit on a Coke bottle. Through the entire ordeal he was taunted by interrogators, jailers, and fellow prisoners for being a homosexual.

		<description>Concepts like radio free europe would be a good start.  Not so much queer as folk, but tolerance and such things.  Maybe KD Lang and Melissa Ethridge music?</description>

		<description>Well, we could try bringing some human rights and democracy to the Middle East, but a lot of lefties seem to think brown people shouldn&#039;t have those things.</description>

		<description>I think we are all in agreement about how horrible it is to be gay in the middle east.  So what do we do about it?  Do we offer middle eastern gays asylum?  At least try to keep them from being deported once they are here?  Did anyone even read the links I posted?</description>

		<description>Kevin,

Saudi Arabia sucks.  We know this.  I&#039;m all for drilling off shore, wind farms in Puget Sound, Drilling in ANWAR, and Nuclear power (pebble reactors anyone?) to allow us to tell all these theocracies to sod off.

So the left can whine about it all they want.  They don&#039;t want to do anything about it though.</description>

		<description>36:  Instead of attacking Ian, why doesn&#039;t someone here address the rather cogent point he brings up?  Treatment of women in countries with which we&#039;re friendly can be as bad as the treatment/murder of gays in Iran.  I noticed the only responses were name-calling, a tried an true tactic to ignoring the point brought up.  Guess name calling here is still ok as long you support the point of view of the owners, even though it&#039;s supposedly against the rules.</description>
