Norway and Islam and Homosexuals and the Left

During Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's lecture to the President of Columbia, a richly deserved one I add just because it was dumb to ever have invited him, he made the infamous statement that there were no homosexuals in Iran. The wags of the Right, noting the position Sharia law takes about the subject and known cases of Iran hanging gays, immediately said, "Of course. You kill them all."

The Left, as usual when criticism of the unacceptable ways of a Muslim country comes up, deafened us with their booming silence.

We now come to this from Norway.

Earlier this week the Islamic Council of Norway's met with SV's homo-network, where they spoke of homosexual Muslims in Norway. This is the first time the Islamic Council met with homosexual representatives to debate on this issue.

Two and half weeks ago the Children and Equality Minister, Anniken Huitfeldt, criticized the Islamic Council for not rejecting the death sentence against homosexuals. (..)

"We stress that the Islamic Council of Norway rejects the death sentence for homosexuals in Norway, but we don't want to go into legislation in other countries," says Kobilica.

But Norwegian Muslims don't need to reject the death sentence for homosexuals outside Norway?

"As said the Islamic Council can't get involved in how other countries are run."

I bring this up for two reasons.

First, I can't figure why any official of Norway would be having this discussion. Killing people for any reason, except for self defense, is undoubtedly illegal in Norway. I mean you don't discuss bank robbing with bank robbers.

That they would be having the conversation at all confirms what the wags of the Right said. Gays are killed.

Secondly, this again brings to light the hypocrites of the Left who continually criticize McCain, and Bush before him, for noting that there are things about Islamic states that should be criticized.

Perhaps our Demo candidate, Hussein of Chicago, should say, "Well, maybe as a precondition to meeting with Iran they could condemn the killing of gays." I mean it is a pretty simple thing to do.

That he won't speaks volumes.
