I have to ask: Where is the moderate Islamic outrage over this in our country? Oh, wait there is no outrage. It is called approval through silence.....

Jeebuz, that's horrible!

You'd think they'd at least give the poor guy a safe word.

Good thing he didn't have GAY sex... else he'd be dead.

(And he's wearing sports briefs? You know this cat's a playa!)

Same kind of thing happens in the Iraqi side.

We should leave - NOW.

So what should we do about it Dan?

Would you like us to invade?

Would you like us to invade Iran?

What’s up with the dudes in masks? There’s some weird S & M energy going on here.

This isn’t nearly as prurient as it sounds.

These are the kinds of "values" (sharia law) that people like this want to bring to our own country. The shit of it is...liberalism will allow it to happen because in America...people are free to do whatever the fuck they want if the ACLU gets involved.

I'm going to echo #2 on this one as well...

It's just like our own moderate christians who say nothing to condem the right-wing nutter who sqew hate or worse. Where's the outrage? These guys make you look bad. Until I hear it I will assume you think like they do.

@14, your argument was used by McCarthy during his little hearings on Cap. Hill in the 1950's.

John McLaughlin in his show "The McLaughlin Group" (I LOVE that show!) made a prediction. The 21st Century will ultimately be a war between Science/Reason against Religion. He predicted that in the end reson will win and religion will be discredited in a way that humanity has never seen happen before.

Humanity First and Only!!

@14:

We don't have to worry about Muslim fundies importing this kind of extremism into the U.S., when there are so many Christian fundies already here who'd be more than happy to do the job themselves.

How about we get off the oil then we can just ignore these morons. The only proper spanking is by husband on wife.

He's also wearing bikini briefs. Doesn't that violate Sharia law, too?

@ 8 I notice the same thing he looks a lot like Chris Evans the actor!

@11 - i think you meant to say "conservatism" will bring Sharia law to the US.

Um, look what they did to a guy who drank too much and had sex? What do you think they'll do to someone who speaks out against the religious establishment? They will just be "disappeared". Who knows, maybe someone did try to speak out and we never heard from them again.

@8, 20: I was thinking more "Holy shit, Justin Timberlake is holding down a dude getting beaten to death."

@14 Don't be stupid. The ACLU would never support Shari'a law, because that would violate church/state separation. The ACLU is the best ally of the average American. Do some research before shooting your mouth off.

As for the post, if this is both popular and justified in their eyes, why do they have to wear masks?

The really scary thing is the mixture of civilian attire and at least two different types of uniform on the men taking part in this operation. Who exactly is doing this to him?

I believe the christianist right would love to be able to do this to us jog bra in public wearing uppity women in a heart beat and all I can think of is this guys poor kidneys- bad Shari'a doms you need to go to spanking school!

Islam and Christianity really are religions of hate. In Israel gay men can marry, and live without fear. Judaism really is the only religion that allows gay men all the rights that straight men enjoy.


The sooner Israel and America attack Iran the sooner peace and love returns to this hurting world.

@8, 20, 23: I'm ashamed to admit that I, too, noticed the hotness of the guy helping perpetrate a heinous act of violence.

playas get flogged and here they get put on cheaters. is hard out there for an iranian pimp.

since when do silly yellow rags like the uk's daily mail considered credible? does the SUN carry the same credibility here?

the article does say that these things are rare. hmmmm. with rags like the daily mail as a source, i would have to suspect a little photoshop. not that im doubting the extreme craziness of the iranian regime, but considering this papers anti persian anti arab and anti islamic slant, i would say this "source" should be looked at before posting it as absolute proof.

Israel is threatened by Iran. America must be motivated to act for Israel's protection. Whether this photo is propaganda or not, it gets the point across, Iran is backwards and evil.


Most American's are idiots and will back an invasion of Iran like they backed Iraq. The Stranger has a pro-Israel pro-Iraq war stance, and it warms my heart to have Dan Savage on the anti-Iran bandwagon. Let's invade Iran and get-er-done for Israel.

If only our pols would justify their actions regarding these fundamental Islamic states based on this type of belief/justice system (as well as their treating women like Michael Vick treats his dogs) I think the American public would actually support them. Put it this way, if we adopt some of these views we can ease overcrowding in public schools and not have to worry about modernizing our infrastructure because half of our population would not be allowed to attend secondary school or drive a car.

I wonder what they did to the women he had the premarital sex with.

@28

"A Gay Pride march in Jerusalem has taken place amid tight security, sparking fierce protests among the holy city's religious communities.

An ultra-Orthodox Jewish man was arrested for planning to bomb the parade, Israeli police said.

At least 18 other people were arrested during the march, which came after Israel's High Court rejected an appeal by religious groups to ban it."

Thanks, Nissa. You've really opened my eyes. My religion, Christianity, is a religion of hate! If only I had been born into a Jewish family and brought up in the One True Faith!

Judaism is the only just religion on the planet. Israel is the best country in the world for Gay people because of the justice inherent in the Jewish people.


Christians and Islamic believers are all members of an evil cult for idiots.
