... Here's a small quote:
"In the city of Mashhad in north-eastern Iran, two gay teens have been executed. One was 18 and the other is thought to have been 16 or 17. First they were lashed 228 times, though. Not long after the execution there were howls of outrage from the Iranian parliament - not at the execution itself, but at the temerity of journalists to report it."
I have read many posts on this very site saying, "People are racist, thinking that all Muslems are terrorists. Muslems are good people..."
Okay, the situation is not simple. This is a clash of cultures, a clash of values. There is clearly something rotten at the core of Islam -- that "Islam is a religion of peace, it's just a few bad apples that blow up buildings..." excuse simply cannot fly anymore. How can we have an honest discussion without admitting that certain behavior & beliefs ARE NOT OKAY?
