New Democratic Iraq: Legal to Murder Gays and Raped Children

Is this the new Middle East Mrs Rice was talking about? Is this the "democracy" thousands of Iraqi people died and keep dieing for? Saddam was murdering to protect his dictatorship and now these people are killing for religion. Same result. I guess this shows 2 things. One is how it is wrong to force democracy down primitive country's throats and the other is how much "democracy" islamic culture is capable of.


Gays flee Iraq as Shia death squads find a new target

Evidence shows increase in number of executions as homosexuals plead for asylum in Britain

The Observer

Hardline Islamic insurgent groups in Iraq are targeting a new type of victim with the full protection of Iraqi law, The Observer can reveal. The country is seeing a sudden escalation of brutal attacks on what are being called the 'immorals' - homosexual men and children as young as 11 who have been forced into same-sex prostitution.

There is growing evidence that Shia militias have been killing men suspected of being gay and children who have been sold to criminal gangs to be sexually abused. The threat has led to a rapid increase in the numbers of Iraqi homosexuals now seeking asylum in the UK because it has become impossible for them to live safely in their own country.

Ali Hili runs the Iraqi LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) group out of London. He used to have 40 volunteers in Iraq but says after recent raids by militia in Najaf, Karbala and Basra he has lost contact with half of them. They move to different safe houses to protect their identities, but their work is incredibly dangerous.

Eleven-year-old Ameer Hasoon al-Hasani was kidnapped by policemen from the front of his house last month. He was known in his district to have been forced into prostitution. His father Hassan told me he searched for his son for three days after his abduction, then found him, shot in the head. A copy of the death certificate confirms the cause of death.

Homosexuality is seen as so immoral that it qualifies as an 'honour killing' to murder someone who is gay - and the perpetrator can escape punishment. Section 111 of Iraq's penal code lays out protections for murder when people are acting against Islam.

'The government will do nothing to tackle this issue. It's really desperate when people get to the stage they're trading their children for money. They have no alternatives because there are no jobs,' Hili says.

Graphic photos obtained from Baghdad sources too frightened to identify themselves as having known a gay man, and seen by the Observer, show other gay Iraqis who have been executed. One shows two men, suspected of having a relationship, blindfolded with their hands tied behind their backs - guns at the ready behind their heads - awaiting execution. Another picture captured on a mobile phone shows a gay man being beaten to death. Yet another shows a corpse being dragged through the streets after his execution.

One photograph is of the mutilated, burnt body of 38-year-old Karar Oda from Sadr City. He was kidnapped by the Badr Brigade in mid-June. They work with the Ministry of Interior and are the informal armed wing of the Supreme Council of Islamic Revolution in Iraq, who make up the largest Shia bloc in the Iraq parliament. Oda's family were given an arrest warrant signed by the Ministry of Interior which said their son deserved to be arrested and killed for immorality as a homosexual. His body was found ten days later.

Dr Haider Jaber is currently seeking asylum in the UK after fleeing Iraq in 2004. He says the abuse started to escalate in his neighbourhood after the invasion. One night, walking home from work, he was surrounded by five men, who told him he had to become a heterosexual Muslim. He says they abused him for wearing jeans and a T-shirt with English writing, and told him he should adopt traditional robes. As a crowd gathered to watch, he was then beaten and kicked to the ground.

The threats continued. Armed militiamen broke into his family home and then his workplace looking for him. Jaber finally left the country in April. His partner, Ali. was not so lucky. Jaber learned of his Ali's murder a few days after leaving Iraq. 'They didn't send the body to the family to have a grave or a flower garden. They said he didn't deserve it because he was an animal,' he said.

Ibaa Alawi has also fled Iraq. A former employee at the British embassy in Baghdad, Alawi met Tony Blair on one of his surprise visits to Iraq. He said Blair was concerned about the safety of the Iraqis working there and praised their bravery. 'Tony Blair said the British government was thankful for our efforts and knew we were putting our lives at risk working for the British embassy in Baghdad.'

Alawi is upset the same government is not willing to help him out. He believes the Home Office will refuse him asylum because it would have to face up to the level of chaos in Iraq, and how much influence is being waged by radical Islamists - and face the fact that, for some, there is still no freedom in Iraq.

The law does not 'allow' it, the law talks about cases where Islam is involved. Learn to read what you've posted yourself. It is a similar situation to the one in Afghanistan where Islamic law demanded the journalist be executed; he wasn't.

When you're setting up a new country you have to strike balances between what you want and what is to come. Your argument is essentially "OMG!!!! Islamic law 'allows' these things...and now it still does!!!!!1!1!!" Or, for those more familiar with your customary rants, "evil Muslims, they're evil, I can't hear you, they're evil, evil, evil"

Not only a very idiotic straw man but you are suggesting me to "learn" to read the article? I cant believe this. How old are you really? Read the red area again. It says the penal code (penal means the official state laws, not just the religious law) "lays out protections for murder when people are acting against Islam." And gays are acting against islam appearantly, since they are being murdered, so perpetrators are protected and hence "the perpetrator can escape punishment." It also talks about policemen kidnapping a raped boy and how that boy was found dead. I cant believe you couldnt understand this by yourself. Was your aim to prove you can not connect dots yourself?

Edit: Actually there wasnt even any dots to connect, everything was perfectly clear. I suggest you to read lots of books to improve your reading comprehension.

How amusing it is to be called young by someone with the ability to insult of a five year old child. :)

So, essentially, your point is that in a lawless society still rebuilding after a war there is lawlessness and disorder? Would you like a golden star for your answer?

Your two points again, since you have such a big issue over 'reading comprehension'.
One is how it is wrong to force democracy down primitive country's throats and the other is how much "democracy" islamic culture is capable of.

Here you make the point that 'it is incapable of democracy' because it is a 'primitive culture'.

The D&D alignment system really won't help you in this argument. The issue is that Iraq law has basically said "Hands off" To people who murder homosexuals or children forced into same sex prostitution, and now violent gangs are hunting down suspected homosexuals, as the law does nothing. It's not a state of lawlessness, it's a state where the law has descided that there is a group of people it doesn't care about, and would even like to see murdered.
the article is saying that Iraq is descending into a theocracy. For people who disagree with islam, that is a very bad thing.
It is further stating that the UK would possibly abandon many people to their fate in Iraq in order to keep from drawing attention to their failure.

If you want to refer to the US sec of state with respect, just call her Rice. Or Condoleeza Rice (like, there aren't that many Condoleezas in the world) or just Condy. Referring to her marital status doesn't constitute respect, particularly in this context.

Apart from that, I've got nothing to say. It's a lousy thread starter, since it puts no position, and the only question it asks is a rhetorical one: no, almost no-one here will try to defend the Iraq war, democracy and Sharia law at it's worst, all at the same time.

Is looking the other way while illegal prostitution of children is occurring any less disgusting for a government to do?

let's try to curve back toward the point which is: Democracies don't instantly or automatically become havens for decency and equality. A democracy is nothing more or less than a government that reflects the will of the people. Even a representative government that is designed to protect against tyranny of the majority is at the mercy of the bias of the representatives in power.

Just because Iraq's laws are uncivilized by our standards doesn't mean Democracy is a lost cause or the nation is degenerating into a theocracy. It means that the will of the people to protect their rights has yet to supercede their religious bias. These things take time.

Dont genarelize. Eastern Europe managed the transition in a quite civilized and fast manner. Besides, not killing raped children isnt asking for "havens for decency and equality". It is asking for sanity. Dont compare apples and oranges to excuse barbaric activities.

It's really pretty simple: Global economy. As all other religions, Islam must evolve if it's members wish to remain part of the modern world.

Shiite Muslims are highly biased toward sharia law. It was bound to show up in the democratic foundation of a predominantly shiite muslim nation. Especially considering the atrocities the sunnis inflicted on them under Saddam's government.

You don't like the fact that children who have beenraped have been killed by islamic fundamentalists and gone unprosecuted bythe Iraqi government because of that loophole? Tough titty.

Yes I actually dont really care about those people as in feel sorry for them. When I care it is usually out of sorta obligation, not to feel guilty of not doing the right thing (as in if I had any power to change things).I know it's not my terms or my country but I still have the right to criticise it and that's the point of this thread. I'm especially criticising it since these people are importing their culture into Europe via mass immigration. It is you who are imagining that I'm trying to dictate something there.

One is how it is wrong to force democracy down primitive country's throats and the other is how much "democracy" islamic culture is capable of.

stupid muslims, still living in the tenth century. really, we need to wipe islam of the face of the planet. and i said ISLAM, not MUSLIMS, so they should just all be coverted. and the kabba must be destroyed.

Honestly, we can not allow a religion allowing, let alone encouraging such acts, to exist.

So you're actually claiming that Iraqi law is working well and democracy is thriving?

The law works pretty well here in the US, and democracy is thriving, but people still get killed on the street - for far less than being gay.

Your story is recounting murders, not legitimate executions at the hands of an officially constituted court.

Therefore, they are crimes - and perhaps the government is putting a low priority on finding the culprits because there is so much sectarian violence already going on.

People are being killed there for less.

Are you saying that somehow, the US is saying that everything in Iraq is as stable and functional as, say, Ames, Iowa? Really? Show me the link.

Is this the new Middle East Mrs Rice was talking about? Is this the "democracy" thousands of Iraqi people died and keep dieing for? Saddam was murdering to protect his dictatorship and now these people are killing for religion. Same result. I guess this shows 2 things. One is how it is wrong to force democracy down primitive country's throats and the other is how much "democracy" islamic culture is capable of.

Honor killings are 3b1l. I am sorry, but I cannot support that type of murder... or any type (abortion is not murder in this case. It is, IMHO, the removal of a tumor...)

Also, forced prostitution is 3b1l too.

The difference is, rape has become socially unacceptable in mainstream British society. While among muslims, the victims are obviously sluts who deserved what they got (Particularly if they're white and non-muslim). Religious fundamentalism among the indiginous population is almost non-existant here now. As for the IRA, things have blown over for now. I don't want to introduce another batch of terrorists to society when we've had enough problems dealing with the ones who were already causing problems.

I guess all those people who defend an Islamic nation's right to use Sharia as the basis for their law are going to be surprised that it calls for the stoning to death of homosexuals.

Quite unlike extrajudicial killings by secret militias, that is out in the open, and blessed by both a nation's laws and its religion.

Maybe the extrajudicial killings are taking place in Iraq because the current Iraqi government doesn't have a law (like other sharia countries) that call for the killing of homosexuals.

The article mentions no where that it is legal to murder raped children, that is explicity forced to have sex with someone against there will. It says it is legal to kill boys who are victims of child abuse(such as having sex with a minor) by an older man because it is against islam. If that was true, those US soldiers on trial for gang-raping that girl couldn't be convicted under Iraqi law as many in Iraq want them too.

That said it is still awful that these rogue death squads have extended their victims from Shiite and Sunnis to homosexuals and children. However probably wouldnt matter if these actions were illegal as the Iraqi government is still unable to control these militias.

Yeah it is a shame that a gayboy was beaten to death, but these occasional human rights violations do happen. Execution for knowing the wonders of gaiety is perhaps a little extreme but hey who are we to tell the free iraqis what to do as long as they do it in a humane fashion. I am totally against the beating to death thing. That is wrong to do to anybody even an abomination.

On the contrary, just because they kill the rape victims doesn't make it any safer to be the rapist. They kill them too. *nod*

The Iraqis are not bothered by it so I guess it is good in Iraq. I am sure that in many other countries it is considered bad so it is bad there. The people should be free to democratically choose laws that they are happy with so long as human rights are not violated. I certainly do not think anybody has the human right to well umm you know do icky pervie things.

Every culture is hung up on something, Nordy, in Iraq it's gays, and in America it's....um, well come to think of it, anything in America goes these days.

At least the people of Iraq (the closet gays included) have hope in the future. That's something they never had under Saddam.

Interesting thing that you mention past. Just because there were rapes in large numbers in past means that they should welcome a minority with high rape rates (overrepresented in overall rapes and a much higher rate than the native population)? If you are going to forget the fact that things you said are no longer the norm, I guess by your logic it should be ok to kill jews in Germany because in the past it has been done so.

And they need men to get sperms. Besides, str8/bi women still need men to have sex. Maybe in the future, when sperm can be artificially produced, lesbian women may set up their own country or in the far future, their own planet. I'm even sure there's a sci-fi book about this, a women planet.
