Iran’s Foreign Minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif, has affirmed the country’s Sharia right to “execute gays” and has “blasted….the aggressive policies of Israel and the USA.”
Twelve years ago, former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad “was greeted with laughter and cries of disbelief when he told students and staff at Columbia University: ‘In Iran, we don’t have homosexuals.'” Now that Iran is admitting to having gays, its authorities stand by murdering them.
Zarif went on to explain: “Our society has moral principles, and according to these principles we live. These are moral principles regarding the behavior of people in general. And that’s because the law is upheld and you abide by laws.”
Richard Grenell, the US ambassador to Germany, told The Jerusalem Post on Monday: “The UN’s Declaration of Human Rights makes clear that these answers from the Iranian regime are violating basic UN principles.”
Iran signed on to the Sharia-guided Cairo Declaration on Human Rights in Islam in 1990, along with Islamic member states.
Iran and other countries that execute gays, apostates, persecute minorities, and abuse women are prime examples of why not all cultures are equal. This also shows why far too many Western so-called human rights activists need to be held more accountable; the targets of such charlatans have instead become those who call out the worst abuses sanctioned by Islam, not the perpetrators. Unless Westerners confront their own fears about being called “Islamophobic” and realize that pushing the lie about “Islamophobia” is a Muslim Brotherhood calculated ploy to subvert democracies, Western countries will continue to decline. So-called “racist,” “populist” leaders have, by contrast, demonstrated backbone and responsible leadership to preserve their societies and human rights.
“IRAN’S FM AFFIRMS RIGHT TO EXECUTE GAYS AND BLASTS U.S. AND ISRAEL,” by Benjamin Weinthal, Jerusalem Post, June 12, 2019:
n response to questions today in Tehran from a reporter for the mass circulation German paper Bild, the Islamic Republic of Iran’s foreign minister Mohammad Javad Zarif reiterated his country’s lethal homophobic law and its opposition to the Jewish state and the US.
Paul Ronzheimer, a reporter for the Bild, wrote on Twitter that he asked Zarif two questions: “1. Where do you stand regarding Israel’s right to exist? 2. How do you deal with the executions of gays?”
Ronzheimer wrote that Zarif answered: “The problem is the aggressive policies of Israel and the USA.”
Regarding Iran’s execution of gays, Zarif said that: “Our society has moral principles, and according to these principles we live. These are moral principles regarding the behavior of people in general. And that’s because the law is upheld and you abide by laws.”
Richard Grenell, the US ambassador to Germany, told The Jerusalem Post on Monday: “The UN’s Declaration of Human Rights makes clear that these answers from the Iranian regime are violating basic UN principles. UN members should agree with the Declaration in order to be members. Criminalizing homosexuality violates the Declaration, plain and simple.”
Volker Beck, a German Green party politician and LGBT activist, told the Post: “Zarif makes clear what Iran stands for: contempt for the human rights of homosexuals, women and religious minorities.” Beck, who is also a lecturer at the Center for Studies in Religious Sciences (CERES) at the Ruhr University in Bochum, added whoever supports the mullahs knows what they represent. He said that “The hanging of homosexuals and stoning women is considered a moral principle by the Islamists in Tehran.”
The Post reported in January that Iran’s clerical regime publicly hanged a man based on an anti-homosexual Islamic law. The unidentified man was hanged on January 10 in the southwestern city of Kazeroon.
According to a 2008 British WikiLeaks dispatch, Iran’s mullah regime has executed “between 4,000 and 6,000 gays and lesbians” since the Islamic Revolution in 1979.
In 2016, the Post reported that Iran’s regime had executed a gay adolescent that year – the first confirmed execution of someone convicted as a juvenile in the Islamic republic.
Hassan Afshar, 19, was hanged in Arak Prison in Iran’s Markazi Province on July 18, 2016, after he was convicted of “forced male-to-male anal intercourse” in early 2015.
In 2011, Iran’s regime executed three Iranian men after being found guilty of charges related to homosexuality.
The Post report detailing the Iranian regime’s public hanging of the man in January played a role in the announcement by US President Donald Trump’s administration in February that it will be launching a campaign to end the criminalization of homosexuality across the globe…..

You would think that gay and lesbian groups around the world would organize protests and boycotts of Iran, rather than supporting boycotts of Israel which defends human rights so that many gay Arabs have moved there to live openly without fear.

His non-sequiturs show IDÉE-FIXE, monomaniacal obsessiveness. Bloodthirstypseudochristian suffers from arrested emotional development, therefore he is unable to join in conversation with others. He demands that they pay attention to his digressions and then he punishes them if they don’t. The Bloodthirstypseudochristian has almost no self-awareness and no empathy.

In the West “Gays & LGBTQ” side with Islamists in hating and persecuting Christians!
Just last week, a Christian Pastor was arrested for preaching in Toronto, after local muslims, Toronto police and “LGBTQ” fanatics ganged up to rough up the Christian pastor and his group. Watch mark 27: 35 and mark 33:12 of the video below and see the screams of “allah is great” and “allahu akbar” directed at the pastor by muslims supporting their fanatical “LGBTQ” perverts:

Actually, there is no indication that the Muslim thugs here are pro-gay–what tosh.
Nor is there any indication in this video–certainly not between mark 27: 35 and mark 33:12–that gay people are roughing up this preacher.
And Pastor David Lynn *himself* condemns Muslim countries for murdering gay people–something christianblood certainly will not do.
His being arrested is of course appalling–but it looks as though christianblood cannot tell the truth.
Worse, of course, he won’t say a word of criticism for his favorite Jihadists murdering homosexuals.

Of course the pastor is roughed up and physically assaulted by the LGBTQ homosexual fanatics and mark 27: 35 and mark 33:12 of the video there are muslims screaming “allah is great” and “allahu akbar” in opposition to the Christian pastor and in support of the LGBTQ perverts and the police arrests the pastor at the end! To a muslim and to a homosexual pervert, a preaching Christian is a more dangerous threat than anything else! Watch the video in its entirety to understand what is going on!

The roughing up of the pastor goes on in most of the video but on mark 27: 35 and mark 33:12 of the video screams of muslims shouting out “allah is great” and “allahu akbar” in opposition to the Christian pastor’s preaching can be clearly heard!

Peter Buckley says
Desperate words from the mullahs. Sure signs that confidence in their “final victory” are fading fast:
“There are other signs that Khamenei may be contemplating what he has called “heroic flexibility”. The official propaganda machine is already geared up to claim victory for the Islamic Republic. The official news agency reported on May 21 that “the world is already hearing the sound of breaking of America’s bones.”
Another sign is that the date fixed by the “Supreme Guide” for Israel to disappear from the face of the earth has been extended to 2050. More importantly, we are now told that Israel’s “disappearance” will come at the same time as “the end of America”.
“Islamic Iran shall witness the fall of the Satanic and earth devouring America and the usurper Israel in 2050,” General Hamid Abazari, one of Islamic Revolutionary Guard’s strategists, assured an audience last week.”
Desperate and laughable. As I’ve said before, if Trump can get another term, Iran’s regime will collapse by 2024. Even if he doesn’t, it’s just delaying the inevitable……

I think as a reminder of the corrupt conflict of interest that was involved in the sham “negotiation” of the “JCPOA” every time Zarif’s name is mentioned, he should also be identified as John Kerry’s daughter’s father in law. The agreement was not a result of arms-length negotiation, it was a gift between family members who wanted to sell out any effective results for nothing.

Unlike Saudi Arabia, the closest US ally in the islamic world where non-islamic houses of worship and non-islamic religions are illegal to this day, in Iran there are hundreds of thousands of Christians, Jews, Hindu, Buddhists, Bahai and Zoroastrians with each community having their own house of worship and enjoy relative religious freedoms. In Iran, in the city of Isfahan alone there are 13 Jewish Synagogues and they are a part of thousands of Jews in Iran. Can the same be said about close US allies like Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait or even Jordan? What do you think would happen to a visible Jew walking around in Saudi Arabia, the closest US ally in the islamic world???

Walter Sieruk says
First, Iran’s foreign minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif , had much gall to proclaim “The problem is the aggressive polices of Israel and the USA.”
For Iran’s has the actual polices of aggression against the State of Israel by starting and then founding and backing aggressive hostile and extremely dangerous and deadly jihad entities as Hezbollah and Hamas , that murderous many Israeli citizens as well as other people.
As for the USA Hamas has murdered American citizen and Hezbollah had even more Americans For it should be remembers the before September 11, 2001 more Americans had been murdered by Hezbollah and by any other Islamic terror group. So it’s actually the tyrannical Islamic regime of Iran that had aggressive polices , To be more clear Iran has extremely murderous aggressive policies.
Second , regarding that “mullah regime” that murders “gays” a fitting title of this later part of this essay should be “homosexuals in Iran” and not “Homosexuals who live in Iran.” For many of them are six feet under in Iran as in dead and buried. As exposed in a book by a former Muslims .Which reveals that “Estimates by human rights activists and opponents of the Islamic Republic of Iran of the number of gay men and lesbian s executed for crimes related to their sexual orientation since 1979 vary between several hundred to as many as six thousand. According to the Boroumand Foundation, records exist for at least 107 executions with charges related to homosexuality between 1979 and 1990 . Iran is one of the eight countries in the world when homosexual acts are punishable by death; all are Islamic. According to a 2013 report from the IHRDC:” [1]

Iran’s foreign minster Mohammad Javad Zarif a lair by claiming that the polices of The USA “aggressive.” Zarif word only shows the old saying to be true .the saying is “When a man point his finger at someone there are three more finger pointing back at him..” This this must be true for not only people but nations.
For Iran has such vicious aggressive polices that it supports jihad murder groups,as Hamas and Hezbollah
In contrast the most aggressive foreign America has are sanctions against the vicious Islamic tyranny of Iran sanctions against that “mullah regime” of Iran.
For such sanctions are both appropriate and necessary.
About those economic sections against that heinous “mullah regime” that is in power in Iran on Monday 4/22/19 the US Secretary of State ,Michael Pompeo spoke of that brutal and oppressive tyranny which oppresses the people of Iran and said “We will not appease their oppressors as that t last administration did .” Pompeo then stated “We will support the Iranian people.”
As far back as on Tuesday, 2/5/ 19 in his second State on the Union a speech President Trump spoke of that Islamic tyranny of Iran as well as those in total power and complete of that tyrannical rogue state. For the President declared “It is a radical regime, they do bad, bad things.”
Moreover, an author of an article on a Freedom Site, Dariush Afshar, had explained the reality of the situation well when he wrote that the “People of Iran who fight for freedom in Iran and abroad put a huge gap and draw a prominent line between Iran and the Islamic regime in Tehran.”
This is sadly and tragically the terrible reality of this Islamic tyrannical regime of Iran. This Islamic tyranny has been well nicknamed “the mullahs regime” in which them mullahs and ayatollahs as well as other fiendish and fanatical Muslims in power have a strong and awful control of the Islamic regime of Iran and through their band of Islamic state “police” , who are called the “Revolutionary Guards “come down hard human rights of the Iranian people . Therefore, the Iranian people who are trapped and forced to exist in this Islamic tyranny live in terrible fear of the mullahs and others in power in Iran. This is a tragic and sad reminder of the wisdom that was printed in the periodical of Benjamin Franklin which is entitled POOR RICHARDS’ ALMANAC that reads “Those who are feared are also hated.”

Talk about “aggressive polices” How about murderous polices and the rough Islamic state of Iran concerning 9/11
About that September 11, 2001 jihad murderous affront against both humankind and America the following might be interesting to some people. A type of thinking of many from Middle East is the sayings that “The enemy of my enemy is my friend.” This type of Middle Eastern “philosophy” may explain, to a degree, how Muslims of two different branches of Islam which are hostile to each other can work together against what they perceive as a “common enemy.”
In this case the mullahs and other in power in Shi ‘ite Iran can work with the jihadists of al Qaeda against which they see as “The Great Satan” By that term they mean the United States of America. As the Muslim author, Rohan Gunaratna , explained in his book INSIDE AL QAEDA . For on page 198 it reveals that among different Islamic terror originations that “Ideological tolerance and intergroup cohesion as a means confronting a common enemy.” So another author, Robert Spencer, in his book which is entitled THE COMPLETE INFIDEL’S GUIDE TO IRAN supply’s information about this topic. It has been keyboarded that this book reveals “Iran’s long –standing support of terrorists- including shocking evidence that Iran helped plain the 9/11 attack.”
