Germany, sweet land of the judges and hangmen
Everybody has condemned the execution of two teenagers in Iran. Everybody? No, there’s one exception: Europe’s biggest newspaper, the German tabloid “BILD“. On July 27 it featured the following story:
Translation:
Here two…
Bild (a tabloid) portrayed these teenagers – who were first jailed at the ages of no more than 16 before they were hung over a year later as pictured above – as child molesters based on the reports of Iran’s state media: sick.

Evil in the Name of God
Recently, I came across a disgustingly all too common vile viewpoint promoting homosexuals as evil ‘in the name of God’. The article is entitled God’s Plan for the Gay Agenda by John MacArthur. I found it on the website: Crosswalk.com…
Thank God that they were hung.

how dare you hang these two for being gay? what write do you have to take an innocent life away just because they are different. it is the Iranians who will go to hell on judgement day.
there but for the grace of god go i
everyone has a right to do whart they want and dis is too harsh
WTF WHY DO YOU GO AND KILL THESE TWO FOR BEING GAY!!!!!!! THATS NTO F*CKIGN RIGHT!! GO F*CKIGN KILL YOURSELF YOU ASSHOLES IM GAY!!! SO F*CK YOURSELFS!!!!
They have no right to hang them, just becuase they’re gay.
I’de love for you to try to kill me or infringe on my rights
It’s all the muslim extremests fault like mahmoud amnadenijad or however you spell thatt jibberish, i say we just bring about i dont know 10 trillion tons of asfault and tar to the middle east and pave over it, get the innocent people out first. Lets do this, because the middle east is just one big shithole. And its about damn time we do something about it. The real crime is when innocent people are hanged because they are different, and the victims, are the people getting hanged. I cried when i read this story. Now i know i can never go to the middle east. Thats just bullshit, that shouldnt be happening anywhere in the world, or for that matter anywhere at all. And if god is against homosexuality, then he deserves to be hanged. I myself am a proud gay man.
these two innocent bays were of a young confused age, i think it is sick that anybody could be killed for being different, that is the worst form of punishment, so muchto live for, so good looking, not future, you’s packies make mi stomach curdle.
The middle east – What a fucking joke! It’s the biggest hell hole on Earth! Blow the fuckers to hell – hanging two teens for being gay!.It’s 2007 and the world isn’t flat anymore you fucking fools!
In front of such much gratuitous violence against the homosexuals, and considering the ear-piercing silence of the world; as Christians coming from different confessions and progress of faith, we believe that it is in our duty to give some concrete answer, obviously, we won’t keep silent.
That is why on Friday the 4th of April 2008 we will meet together in several cities of Italy to celebrate many vigils of prayer to remember the victims of homophobia and to smash in, through our testimony, the wall of silence and embarrassment that usually prevails in our churches and our society about this heavy problem.
It is up to you, as Christians, to decide whether it is time to break your silence or not. For further information visit the website http://inveglia.wordpress.com

Vigils of prayer held in the following cities (updates coming):
ITALIA/ITALY: Roma, Firenze, Milano, Bassano del Grappa, Rimini, Aosta

If someone’s religions or beliefs suggest or encourage death to people who have not robbed anyone of anything (which is the one and only crime; if you consider murder the theft of a life, or rape as the theft of one’s sexual decency, or even as simple as stealing a watch and so on) then surely this religion or faithful practise should be shunned and banned worldwide!
Love should be a cherished emotion, unlike animals we have our amazingly over developed emotions which can depress us, exhilarate us, or leave us feeling in many ways, then a person who denies someone of such feelings as love is certainly robbing them of their right to enjoy life, as the short opportunity that is our life. Religions or beliefs that demand you to suppress any emotions such as sexual temptations are wrong, wrong, wrong!
And to the people affected by these rules of religion, think to yourselves; in the few decades you have of life, do you really want to deny yourself of anything enjoyable? I for one have no particular faith, I ENJOY leaving ultimate questions a mystery, I believe they strengthen our brains, particularly our frontal lobes, which is also strengthened by doing things we enjoy and is affected negatively through stress which can be caused by not enjoying things. Therefore, if you are restricting yourself to things you can and cannot enjoy, then you, unfortunately, have a less effective brain then people like me who seek enjoyment from our short life.
The people behind the hanging are blood-thirsty, cold-blooded killers, looking for any reason to kill something, who should be replaced with the innocent specimens before them. They are nothing but uncivilised aliens- Its 2010 for f*cks sake! This isn’t the medieval times anymore! I would say you’re acting like animals but animals are much more respectable residents of this worlds than these b*stards! And if there really is a God, why the f*ck would He/She allow people such as the executioners into the ‘eternal paradise’ of ‘Heaven’ after their blatant disregard to God’s specimen? They, after all have committed theft!
