| IS Stones 2 'Gay Men' to Death in Syria | |
| 2014-11-26 | |
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... group stoned two men to death in Syria Tuesday after claiming they were gay, a monitor said, in the jihadist organization's first executions for alleged homosexuality. "The IS today stoned to death a man that it said was gay," the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said, adding that the victim was around 20 years old. He was killed in Mayadeen in the eastern province of Deir Ezzor, near the border with Iraq. The Britannia-based Observatory said IS claimed it found videos on his mobile phone showing him "practicing indecent acts with males". In a separate incident on Tuesday, an 18-year-old was also stoned to death in Deir Ezzor city after the group said he was gay, the Observatory said. Activists on social media said that the dead men were opponents of IS and that the group had used the allegation as a pretext to kill them. The United Nations ...where theory meets practice and practice loses... said this month the IS had carried out several executions by stoning of women in Syria it accused of adultery. The jihadists proclaimed a "caliphate" in June after seizing swathes of Iraq and Syria. Activists say IS carries out regular public executions -- often beheadings -- in areas it controls. | |

| #3 In order to stone someone I thought you had to have two or three witnesses. If I were a mullah, I might want to know what two or three people were doing watching a couple of guys have gay sex. It sounds like a potential opportunity for a secondary stoning that might make the whole stoning idea look less attractive to potential voyeurs. I guess the good news is there will surely be all sorts of stoning regulations put in place once the EU converts to Islam. At least rock shape, stone weight and throw distance will be tightly standardized. |

| #2 the Social Justice Warriors are still trying to resolve why Drum Line is a drama, and Bring It! is a comedy. I believe that committee for selecting a committee is in second culinary intermission. |
