"Four men came into the shop. They pulled out guns. They were the Mahdi army. The place they took me to was very close to a mosque or actually in the courtyard – I could hear the call to prayer very clearly. When they hauled me out of the car, they beat me unconscious. Late the next day, they came to me and said, 'We know you are gay.' They pulled out a list of names and started reading them … I knew four who were still alive. One they had already killed. They interrogated me for three hours that night. They demanded I give them names of other gays. At night they got a broomstick. They used it to rape me." —Mashal, a Baghdad shopkeeper, on his experience with anti-gay militia violence [Guardian]

Religion strikes again! Have the courage to say it, dammit! It's right there in the story. They took him to a MOSQUE to beat the shit out of him. How much clearer can we get about who our enemy is?
We are allowing this happen.
We need to try harder.
America wants to police the world on everything but equality. theres no money in it for them so they want no part of it.
