They didn’t sentence him to die, as per the traditional Sharia penalty. They must be moderates. In any case, woe to you — from the gay community — if you dare to point out Sharia persecution of gays. When Pamela Geller and I ran ads highlighting the mistreatment of gays in Islamic law, the San Francisco City Council issued a resolution condemning not that mistreatment, but our ads. Gay advocates such as Theresa Sparks and Chris Stedman attacked us for daring to call attention to the institutionalized mistreatment of gays under Islamic law. Their gay advocacy doesn’t extend to standing up to Sharia oppression of gays, even though that oppression is far more virulent and violent than anything from “right-wing extremists” in the U.S. And you can’t blame them: given the Leftist/jihadist alliance, it’s clear that if they spoke out against Sharia mistreatment of gays, they would no longer be invited to the best parties, and might even be branded as “right-wing.” Their moral cowardice and duplicity, however, are obvious.
“Saudi court sentences homosexual to jail, lashes,” Al Arabiya News, July 22, 2014 (thanks to Lookmann):
The Criminal Court in the Saudi city of Medina has sentenced a 24-year-old man to three years in jail and 450 lashes for setting up a Twitter account to promote and practice homosexuality, Al-Watan reported Tuesday.
The man was tracked down by religious police, officially known as the Committee for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, which set him up by having another man arrange a date with him.
He was arrested as he showed up for the meeting, and his confiscated phone reportedly contained evidence of his homosexuality. The 24-year-old confessed to the judge.
