Gay Somalians Fed Rotten Threats
The attention starved gay Somalians aren’t getting much love from their countrymen. Andrew Price, who developed Somali Gay Community offers some of the virtual hate. Preemptive [sic]:
The international Somali community is up in arms and the forums, weblogs, and sites dedicated to Somali news are awash with hate writers.I mean really vile stuff.
One individual calls for them to be “hunted down in the street and stoned like dogs†while another said, “Allah will punish themâ€, another, “It’s a western illnessâ€, and yet another, “motherfocker if i ever see you on the street, am gonna chop you to pieces then feed ur crap to dogs†– this last one from a Muslim woman.
Gross! No wonder Somalia’s tourism industry’s in the toilet. Well, that and war, famine and economic instability.
Not surprising for a nation that hasn’t had a formal government in decades. That and the fact that their otherwise lovely culture has been heavily influenced by Islamic fundamentalism to the point that some of them believe they’re not African but a Muhamedan offspring!
