....”At an April 16, 2012 cleric convention in the Iranian city of Qom, senior ayatollah Abdollah Javadi-Amoli spoke against homosexuality and the Western practice of legalizing gay rights. He claimed that homosexuals brought AIDS, which is a punishment for their sins, upon human society, and that, according to the Koran, they are inferior to animals, as are those who grant them legal rights. It should be mentioned that, in Iran, engaging in homosexual relations is an offences punishable by death.[1]An Iranian website explains that, according to the Koran, an individual over the age of 18 who has been convicted of homosexuality by an Islamic court must be executed by burning or by being thrown off a mountain. [2] Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said in New York in 2007 that there are no homosexuals in Iran.”....


RRD:Personally I think that a regime that guns down political protesters in the streets,oppresses Gays and religious minorities and women,and engages in holocaust denial while threatening a second holocaust is what is lower than animals,but hey what do I know.
It remains unclear whether the esteemed Ayatollah plans to commune with his soulmates in the Westboro Baptist Church.
