This only happens because the majority religion in Iraq, Syria, etc is Islam. In case you don't know basic principles of the evil religion let me quote some scripture for you:
"...For ye practice your lusts on men in preference to women: ye are indeed a people transgressing beyond bounds.... And we rained down on them a shower (of brimstone)" - An account that is borrowed from the Biblical story of Sodom. Muslim scholars through the centuries have interpreted the "rain of stones" on the town as meaning that homosexuals should be stoned, since no other reason is given for the people's destruction.
"I will cast terror into the hearts of those who
disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads
and strike off every fingertip of them."
Islam goes beyond merely disapproving of homosexuality. Sharia teaches that homosexuality is a vile form of fornication, punishable by death.
That is why non-heterosexuals are killed in those countries. Cultural diversity will sure fix the problem because then all these Sharia hitmen will be in the Europe and the U.S.A., how marvelous.
Far from teaching universal love like the Bible, the Quran incessantly preaches the inferiority of non-Muslims, even comparing them to vile animals and gloating over Allah's hatred of them and his dark plans for their eternal torture. Muslims are told that they are destined to dominate non-believers, against whom harsh treatment is encouraged.
(I don't know if this applies to you, Shook, but I had to include this since Allahsucks was banned for racism.)
Last of all, which Colors and most people (from what I've seen) can't understand is that
Islam is not a race. Allah is the "god" of Islam, which is an ideological deity, not a race. if someone in staff looks at this, ban this account as well:

While I understand where you are coming from, sexuality is not a big deal. You don't need special treatment, you don't need to be anonymous when you do it. Just say who you and be you. That is it. There are many more people in this community who are not heterosexual, yet the only way others find out is by getting to know them. They don't make threads for outing themselves. If this continues (for a long time) all Off-Topic will be is a place to tell the world you're gay.

I'll only bring it up if it's directly relevant, and/or to show people that it doesn't fucking matter. Unless they want sum fuk, of course.
I agree with you here.
I enjoyed responding to your post, Shook. Thank you for actually engaging in discussion.
