20 arrested at Saudi gay wedding
2006-08-17
Saudi authorities arrested 20 young men after raiding a suspected gay wedding in the southern town of Jizan, a newspaper reported on Wednesday. The detainees, who were among some 400 men attending "the wedding party of two men" on Tuesday, had been "emulating women," the Al-Watan paper said. In all, some 250 people were detained in the police raid on the party but the rest were later released.

Police had "arrested the wanted people and released those who have nothing to do with the matter," the paper quoted a police commander as saying. Some guests were also seen chewing qat, an illegal narcotic widely used in neighbouring Yemen, on a hill above the square where the party was being held, Al-Watan said.

#6  That's my questioning of the LLL moonbats. Do they really think that their lives (be it gays, abortionists, anti-religion whackos, anti-war nuts, etc.) would be better under a new caliphate, a'la the Taliban? They'd be the first to be strung up, or would have to go underground to hide from the virtue and vice police.

#5  I've read where Andrew Sullivan thinks the recently busted plot to blow up the US bound airplanes from GB is a hoax. I wonder if Andrew thinks this raid on the gay wedding is a hoax. You'd think gays would be on the side of civilization in the war on jihad. sadly, if you thought so you'd be wrong.

#2  Perhaps they could be turned against the bad guys. Kill enough of the bad guys and their lives start getting easier as the extremism diminishes.
