Walid Shoebat, a right-wing activist and frequent Fox News guest who has built his career around the questionable claim that he is an “ex-terrorist,” told Alaska politician and radio host Joe Miller in an interview last week that Islamists in the Middle East are seeking to introduce an anti-Christian tyranny that will ultimately “bring in homosexual rights” and “rights to cannibalism” because “that’s how tyrannies work.”
Shoebat, Towleroad reminds us, had this to say about the shitstains at ISIS, who currently head up the worst worst Islamist tyranny in the Middle East:
Palestinian American and former Muslim Brotherhood member Shoebat last year claimed that ISIS is promoting the “homosexual agenda” by raping men and using recordings to blackmail them.
Here's what ISIS is actually doing to gay people in the areas they control:
Islamic State (ISIS) has released yet more images of another man being thrown from a building for being gay, before being stoned to death.
Last month ISIS released extremely graphic images of the execution of a man for being gay. After surviving a seven-storey drop, the man was stoned to death. Back in January, the extremist group executed two men for being gay. The men were thrown from a tall building. Some of the images were too graphic to display on PinkNews. Now images reportedly out of Syria show another man accused of being gay being thrown from a building, before stoning him to death as he also survived the ordeal.
Life is a grim shitshow for gay people all over the Middle East—with the exception of Israel, of course, a fact that 1. is indisputably true, 2. any mention of brings accusations of pink washing Israel's awful human rights record, and 3. does not fully apply to gay Palestinians living in Israel proper and does not apply at all to gay Palestinians living in areas under Israeli occupation. But any sane gay person—any sane person—given a choice between living in Mosul and living in Tel Aviv is going to pick the latter.
