A Shi’ite hadith has Muhammad saying: “If a man engages in sexual intercourse with another male, Allah’s throne trembles because of it. A man who allows anal sexual intercourse will be held by Allah on the bridge over the hell until he will complete the accounts of the creatures: then he will command to send him to hell in the levels of which he will suffer one after the other until he arrives in the lowest level from which he cannot come out.” (Al-Kafi H10151, ch. 186, h 2)
“Iran’s regime executed two men based on anti-gay charges,” by Benjamin Weinthal, Jerusalem Post, January 30, 2022:
The Islamic Republic of Iran continued its lethal homophobic policy, executing on Sunday two men based on its anti-gay Sharia law system.
The two Iranian men, Mehrdad Karimpou and Farid Mohammadi, were killed in the Maragheh prison in northwestern Iran, according to the organization Human Rights Network in Iran. The men were arrested six years ago.
Iran’s regime frequently uses the charge of sodomy to impose the death penalty on gays and lesbians. According to a 2008 British Wikipedia dispatch, Iran’s theocratic state executed between 4,000 and 6,000 gays and lesbians since the country’s 1979 Islamic revolution.
Human Rights Network in Iran said the Iranian regime-controlled media has not reported on the executions of the two men based on the country’s anti-gay law.
Iran Human Rights Monitor tweeted that “The Two #Iranian men were executed today after being found guilty of charges related to homosexuality. #Humanrights websites identified the men as 32 yo Mehrdad Karimpour & Farid Mohammadi. They were arrested 6 years ago & were in Maragheh prison until their execution.”… |
