penal code section 111
The Guardian Unlimited reports a flood of new asylum seekers from war torn Iraq. Gay men.
Turns out that homosexuality is an affront to Islam and Section 111 of the penal code protects those who defend Islam against such assault. Turns out that it is now perfectly legal, and culturally acceptable, to murder homosexuals.
Not only homosexuals, but also young boys who have been forced into same-sex prostitution. They’re victimization is somehow erased in light of the heinous affront to Islam as adult men abuse the children. The children themselves are considered defiled and worthy of only death.
Would that our nation were on the side of liberating Iraq from such horror, but it turns out that our nation state is the one upholding the penal code.
I can only wonder what Thomas Jefferson or Ben Franklin, our beloved “founding fathers”, might make of our initiating a war halfway around the world in order to institute religious zealotry.
No amount of rewriting history can twist support for this current debacle from Ben or Thomas. And only a revisionist history will allow our children to respect their elders support for this new chapter in the war of shame.
