Human Rights Group: Two Gay Men Face Stoning in Iran

Two gay men in Iran have been sentenced to death by stoning for taking part in and taping homosexual acts, the International Committee Against Stoning (ICAS) says.

“According to the news we have received Ayub and Mosleh, 20 and 21 years old, are in danger of execution by stoning in the city of Piranshahr in the province of Kurdistan,” ICAS says in a posting on its website. The group says the men filmed themselves engaging in homosexual acts — video that included pictures of Iranian President Ahmadinejad — and government officials somehow discovered that video (which the men had uploaded to their phones).

“We call on people everywhere to spread the news of the inhuman and medieval act against Ayub and Mosleh and do whatever they can to save them,” ICAS writes.

ICAS has had some success in campaigning against stonings. The group was one of the leading voices calling for a stay when Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani faced the same sentence for allegedly cheating on, and killing, her husband. The stoning was eventually  canceled, however Ashtiani could still face death by hanging.

In Ashtiani’s case, Iranian officials found justification for her stoning in Islamic law.

“We must stand against stoning in Piranshahr,” ICAS says.

    What‘s great about this story is that technically the Iranians don’t have to even admit the boys are gay (and also a wee bit stupid… attention whores know no borders apparently). These fellows could be made to eat rock for simple political dissent… done in very poor taste.
    Best line of this story; “…government officials somehow discovered that video (which the men had uploaded to their phones).” Um, I think we know how govt. officials got wind of the video. ‘Me!’ monsters are ecumenical… you can be as gleefully stupid as you wanna be, just don’t expect me to scratch my head and play the “Ah, yes! ‘Tis a mystery!” game.
    Ya know, I‘m actually surprised there’s a specific committee to address the act of stoning. The world is so jaded with relativism… but then again I am assuming the usual suspects are mute on the issue. I’m looking at you, UN.

    Once again the left and their double standards. I hear that all cultures are equal. No culture is superior. It’s out diversity that makes us stronger. No one on the left speaks out against crucifying christians in Darfur. I don’t hear anything from the left – esp. from NOW – about oppression of women in muslim nations. Nothing about human rights and Lao Gai (political slave labor camps) in China. But allow Iran to exercise its right to Sharia? Horrors. Hey, relax, it’s just their culture. Coming to a Dearborn near you. PS: what do you tell a muslim woman with two black eyes? Nothing. You’ve already told her twice.

      @Akmiikeus. Sarah Palin has been being stoned daily since accepting John McCains request to become his running mate against Senator Obama. Just add your stone to the pile Akmi. Pretty soon she will be buried, the goal of the left. The left must be really afraid of the woman. I guess when you remember that far left Jimmy Carter made way for a Ronald Reagan, you are worried the far left Pres. Obama may be opening the flood gates for Sarah Palin.

She may disagree with homosexuality as a way of life style choice (as do a lot of Americans), but in NO WAY does that mean she condones their brutal death! Please, if you have any evidence to the contrary, show it. Otherwise, you are guilty of libel and should be ashamed.

      Oy. . . . That is stupid. . . . No, sir, the left does not maintain that all cultures are equal. That is something social scientists say, but not because they believe it, it is done in the course of study to try and remove bias. Now if you mean the left is politically correct, then you have a point, and I’d agree with you, even though I am a leftist even more liberal than Obama.

      You do realize, don’t you, that most leftists think the Iranian government is a bunch of ********, and dislike them, right? Most of the liberals in this country are against the ideas of Iran’s right wing psycho Islamofascist government. Why do you think that this kind of stuff has gay rights groups (liberal, mostly), humanitarian organizations (typically liberal), civil rights organizations (usually liberal) in an uproar? Please, stop just insulting the left any time you can, when you don’t even know anything about it, and in reality, would end up agreeing with them on this very subject.

    This serves as an example of the “useful idiots” quote from Vladimir Lenin. Homosexuals (Gays) are an integral segment of the Progressive-Socialist-Democrat-Union coalition that attacks traditional American values, while supporting Muslim values that include Sharia law (It‘s a package you can’t have one without the other).Present Day Traditional American Values while disapproving of homosexual marriage,DADT revocation,etc. will protect their right to life and liberty. The Progressive Values will eventually let them be consumed like the followers of Trotsky,or Hitler’s BrownShirts(who were mainly homosexual). Hence “useful idiots”. Muslims will take out their Socialist fellow travelers down the road after their alliance has served it’s purpose.

      You do realize that is a crock of bull, right? Traditional American values are bible based, right? What does the bible say? KILL THEM. In fact, it says to stone them (not just them, other crimes punished with death as well). Do you want to know the leading group that murders homosexuals in America? Right wing Christian fundamentalists in this country which follow these “American values” you speak of. Don’t you realize that denying them their civil rights, equal protection under the law, and that very attitude of “it’s wrong to be gay” is what fuels things like the murder of gays, their teen suicides, etc. This attitude of it being wrong is the problem

      Do you know what us progressives want to do? We want homosexuals to be accepted, which, once they are, means that they will be treated fairly. We want them to be free like everyone else. We want them to have equal protection under the law, and equal rights.Right now gays are denied about 1000 or so rights by virtue of not being able to marry. It’s horrible, it’s wrong, and it’s unconstitutional (14th amendment, equal protection under the laws. If heterosexual‘s rights to marry are protected by the government’s laws, so must gays). It is against what this country was founded for, freedom, liberty, equality, to have such an attitude and enshrine it into law.

      Also, you do realize that the Muslim faith is almost identical to the Christian faith in it’s views on morality, right? In fact, the entire religion of Islam is a plagiarism of Christianity and Judaism. Muhammad was a pagan before Christian and Jewish priests passing through trading hub Mecca converted him to monotheism, their version of monotheism, as well as all of the religious rules. That is why, if you go to Iran, you are protected legally, under the Iranian constitution. Muslims view Christians and Jews as people of the book.

    Agreed–eye witnessed by someone I know who’s been to both hell holes numerous times.

    Also being reported and once again lies flow about how religious or devout ALL the muslims are in Iraq and Afghanistan–this is a crock. They have those that don’t roll out the prayer rug same as we have here, those that don’t go to church.

    Another lie, during Ramadan when they are required to fast (they are so devout to allah) they use a drug to help quell their hunger pangs called khot. They don‘t go ’hard core’ for allah here.

    So, these muslims over there banging their chests about how ‘devout’ they are, how ‘holy’ they are, don’t buy into it. They speak lies about islam being peaceful to make us feel inferior as if they have a ‘bee line’ to that ‘golden door’ in heaven. Just saying.

    Seriously, who would want to join a religion that would STONE you for your sexual preference, kill you if you decided to convert to Christianity, STONE only women for committing adultery (what about the guys?), kill you for blasphemy against mohammed, a known pedophile?

And as far as homosexual conduct, in the mind of a middle-eastern muslim man, you’re only “gay” if you are catching not if you’re pitching.

      No one said they did deserve it. The comments I’ve seen here are pointing out the hypocrisy of the gay community. Gays protest the military because of DADT, even though they are ridding the world of scum like this, but none are protesting gays being murdered in Iran. That is of course because they would be killed or imprisoned if they did. It amazes me that so many preach tolerance for Muslim extremists who are so obviously intolerant of everyone with whom they disagree. No one is advocating prejudice against Muslims either. There’s a clear distinction between the Muslims who use to live across the street from me and the idiots who are stoning people.

      DADT is a policy, it is not the military.

      As for your bemoaning the fact that gays are not in the streets protesting against this outrage, I would ask : why should they? To what end? Where were the protests against the other Iranian verdicts by women in this country? It‘s intellectually dishonest to say that people are hypocrites because they don’t protest against an action in another country that can not effect yet do protest against policies when they can have an effect. If that is the standard of hypocrisy I would say you have just labeled everyone who has ever protested anything a hypocrite.

      Deutscher (PubliusPencilman), let me try to make this clear for you. Pretesting DADT is fine, but there are far more important issues in this world than that. The people stoning these men in Iran are perfect examples. If one truly believes discrimination against gays is wrong, then do the hard work, maybe even risk your life for your beliefs. Don‘t just protest when it’s easy; protest when it’s hard, too. Go protest in front of the Iranian embassy if that’s all you can do. If they are protesting then it obviously isn’t enough. Do more, if you really care. Like I said before, protesting the military, when they’re doing their part, the hard part and risking their lives, to rid the world of idiots, like the ones doing the stoning, isn’t helping the greater good related to their cause. Talk to missionaries in third-world countries. They’ll tell you all about doing the hard work for the greater good. Those are the people I admire and wish to someday emulate.

      Great question, Nick.

      “Avoiding the offending Muslims” trumps “avoiding offending of gays and gay rights” with the left wing media.

    Let me get this straight, they know what the consequences will be for being gay, but they make a tape and put it on their phones. Talk about pushing your luck. I don’t even know how to defend that move it is so beyond dumb.

      Being dumb does not mean you should be stoned to death. If you are a ‘grandmaof5’ I would have thought you could have some compassion at least. Young people do foolish things in every country. Stoning should make us outraged regardless of the reason.

      EMBARASSEDBYBIGOTS, I absolutely have compassion for them but almost everyday we read something horrible about the consequences of actions in that part of the world, why on earth would you record something that will get you stoned to death? I would not wish anything that happens to people just trying to live their lives in Iran, on them, the laws are brutal and so are the consequences. Did not mean to make light of such a horrible story.

      It is called having the courage of your convictions. It’s easy to sit behind a computer and talk crap about the “evil Guvmint” and “Obammy the Usurper”. I wonder how many of you would be so brazen if the Secret Service or the FBI showed up at your house in their black SUVs. It takes real courage to stand up to them and say “NO! this is wrong and we are not going to stand for it” If it is foolish to look evil and tyranny in the face, smile at them and then flip them the bird then our founders were foolish to think they could challenge England.

      Sorry, Grandmaof5, I have to say your first post sounded harsh. Stupid or not, these are two young men scheduled to die a horrible death for no reason – none. Blaming them for being young and stupid is not the point – being young and stupid should not equate to a gruesome death by tyrants. In a country where evidence is not even needed, it is hardly their video that was required to impose death – just them being gay is good enough.

      Shoot TYR, I personally am very careful, of what I say online. For the simple reason, I do NOT want those black shaded men puling up in my driveway. Screw my free speech rights, sometimes. I know when to shut up.

      Okay, I hear what everyone is saying, and I ABSOLUTELY have compassion for anyone who is expressing their rights to act freely, and no one deserves the punishment that the government has or will hand down in Iran, no matter if they knew what would happen or not.

      Grandma, I understood exactly what you meant and I agree. It is the same thing here if you film yourself murdering someone you would be called a fool. These young men knew what the consequences were and did it any way. I think the stoning is terrible and cruel but they had to know the law.

      I thought his name was ‘Ahmajimmyjob’ because if it wasn‘t for Jimmy he wouldn’t have a job. Makes me wonder about all those jobs the Kenyan pretender is creating. As to the gay population in Iran; first there were none, now there are two, and soon there will be none again. This is why it’s called the religion of pieces.

      “video that included pictures of Iranian President Ahmadinejad”

      If Chris Mathews gets leg tingles from looking at BHO, just imagine what Ahkmadiniwackjob does for Iranians of the man love persuasion.

      Well, the upside of these two guys being homosexual is that there are at least two less men for the Iranian goat population to worry about.

      Lev. 20:13 – “If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall be put to death; their blood is upon them.”

      I guess they’re just following the Bible.

They certainly don’t care about christians being murdered all over the Middle East. Thier lies are exposed through comedy parody in the new web movie, “A Not Too Grimm Fairy Tale”.

      Hey ICAS. If you really, really believe that strongely in what you are doing I recommend you go to IRAN and confront their government face to face. Yea. Oh I’m sorry…you might be added to the stoning list yourselves. (We could only wish) Gosh…can’t have that happen. I mean who could possibly think of taking a real stand for something you believe in. Sorry again…I forgot that you stand for something so long as it doesn’t require action or SACRIFICE. Got it! You are a joke ICAS. You are just a bunch of lib progressives who take tax dollars for your miserable organization and all you have to do is sit in your bedroom at mama’s house and yell over the computer. Such a bunch of limp wristed opportuntist. Shut the HELL up.
