[edit] Homosexuality

Homosexuality has no public support in Iran. It should be mentioned. No one except a few urban pro-western people support homosexuality. --Jihadist Forever 16:05, 23 November 2008 (EST)

Presumably it's supported by Iranian homosexuals?--Bob^{bing up} 16:14, 23 November 2008 (EST)

Who said homosexuals are brutally treated in Iran as the article is claiming? --Jihadist Forever 16:23, 23 November 2008 (EST)

[1] that's just one. I could find you dozens of others. PFoster 16:26, 23 November 2008 (EST)

Is not HRW a Western source? --Jihadist Forever 16:28, 23 November 2008 (EST)

It's active worldwide, employs people from many countries in the non-Western world. PFoster 16:30, 23 November 2008 (EST)

Hey Jihadist Forever. What does happen to homosexuals in Iran?--Bob^{bing up} 16:35, 23 November 2008 (EST)

If it is an organization based in a Western country, it should be attributed. --Jihadist Forever 16:44, 23 November 2008 (EST)

Nice of you to identify yourself. Now could you identify who you were referring to? It's not particularly clear. --Kels 16:49, 23 November 2008 (EST)

It should be clear that I'm referring to Jihadist Forever, who rejects "Western" sources out of hand, and is of an irrationaly conspiratorial mindset.WilhelmJunker 16:53, 23 November 2008 (EST)

Fair enough. It's always hard to tell though, you could have been referring to homosexuals having a victim mentality just as easily, thought it was best to clear it up. --Kels 17:06, 23 November 2008 (EST)

Hey Jihadist Forever. What does Iran do to Homosexuals? Or is the president right and there aren't any?--Bob^{bing up} 16:47, 23 November 2008 (EST)
