Iranian cleric: homosexuals worse than dogs and pigs

And as we know, Muslms hold dogs and pigs to be unclean animals.

It's a short article, so I'm not quoting all the story.



Quote:

Homosexuality is punishable by death according to fatwas issued by almost all Iranian clerics. Until recently, Lavat (sodomy for men) was punishable by death for all individuals involved in consensual sexual intercourse.

But under new amendments approved recently in the Iranian parliament the person who played an active role will be flogged 100 times if the sex was consensual and he was not married, but the one who played a passive role will still be put to death regardless of his marriage status.
