Taliban promises to brutally execute gays if it regains power in Afghanistan

A Taliban judge is promising that Sharia law will be reinstated in Afghanistan after coalition forces have left the country and the brutal Islamic force regains power. Gay people, he promised, will be prosecuted and would be executed by stoning or pushing a wall on top of them.

“For homosexuals,” judge Gul Rahim told Bild, “there can only be two punishments: either stoning, or he must stand behind a wall that will fall down on him. The wall must be 2.5 to 3 meters high (8-10 ft).” Rahim went on to praise the brutal system of enforcing religious laws used in some Muslim countries.
Earlier this year, police in the northwestern African country of Mauritania arrested 10 young men for “acts contrary to morality, committing acts forbidden by Allah, and circulating a ceremony of debauchery.” The men were attending “the birthday celebration of a homosexual.”

Mauritania, an Islamic republic with zero LGBTQ civil rights, criminalizes homosexuality as a violation of Sharia Law with an allegedly non-enforced death penalty. Article 308 of the country’s 1983 Criminal Code says, “Any adult Muslim man who commits an impudent or unnatural act with an individual of his sex will face the penalty of death by public stoning.”

Reactionary zealot bigots ever get over themselves and grow the fuck up and realize Allah is an asshole god just like the judeo christian one is?

Will we as a humanity grow past this bullshit and accept we are all human beings and equal.
