They told me that if George W. Bush was elected, homosexuals would be persecuted, and they were right!

Homosexuals deserve to be executed or tortured and possibly both, an Iranian leader told British MPs during a private meeting at a peace conference, The Times has learnt.

Mohsen Yahyavi is the highest-ranked politician to admit that Iran believes in the death penalty for homosexuality after a spate of reports that gay youths were being hanged.

President Ahmadinejad, questioned by students in New York two months ago about the executions, dodged the issue by suggesting that there were no gays in his country.

Oh, oops.. wrong country. Of course, for some reason gay activists never seem to be too concerned with the regular executions of gays in the Middle East compared to the horrible crushing injustice of gays not being allowed to marry in every state of the US.

Nice to see that the Iranian official thinks that they should be “executed, tortured, or possibly both”. This is how you tell the moderate Muslims from the extremists: Moderates just think gays should be either tortured OR executed, but not BOTH like those crazy extremists!
