I know this might be old news, but a while ago, two 13 year old boys were hanged for being gay. I think it is EXTREMELY cruel, but I just wanted someone elses opinion.

thats sick....it amazes me how closeminded some people are

Is that part true?

Well this story is horrifying to say the least....

I mean even if they did rape that 13 year old boy no one has the right to take anyone else's life but god himself.

Executing them is a easy way out, no pain especially hanging, where the neck breaks and its an instant death.

Why not let them go to jail for life, and think about what they did wrong.

Iran, they call themselves a islamic nation but yet they execute people. In the Quran it specifically states that no one has the right to take someone else's life but god. But yet they execute people.

All im saying is that these boys should have had a trial at least, and let the evidence speak for its self.

The story just says they were executed for being Gay and hardly about raping a boy.

Capital punishment is just wrong.

Suadi Arabia also excutes people if I remeber what I learnd in World Geography in High School. In the Middle East Homosexuality is an act aginst God or something like that.

the sad thing is they probably werent even gay. 13 if awfully young to know that kind of thing

Some people have claimed to have known they were gay from the age of five so it is possible.

These boys were 16 and 17.. or did I read that wrong? and these boys were 'accused' of raping a 13-year-old boy at knifepoint."

I have no sympathy for them. The article states "This is a crime against humanity. We cannot bring these boys back to life. The injustice against them is complete, total, and irrevocable." what about the injustice in raping a 13 year old at knife point what about that kids life that will be scarred.

I think if I were the parent of the 13 year old I would have strung them up myself.

These two boys were only ever accussed of raping that 13-year old boy and it certainly makes it seem more justifiable to execute them, very convenient indeed. Most likely they were killed merely for being homosexual.

Exactly, its more than likely just a gay-hate crime, although they got what they deserved, it makes me sick.

It seems to me like they executed the boys for all the wrong reasons.

I think this is disgusting, no one has the right to take lives.....

I am sure the 13 year old they raped and his family would appreciate the bleeding hearts supporting these 2 rapists... does no one ever consider what the victim is going through?

These 2 that were hung were 16 and 17 year old and 'accused' of raping a 13-year-old boy at knifepoint." they are old enough to understand their cirme and the cosequences that it brings.

that is so cruel. No one has the right to take someone else life no matter what they're crime is.

that is so cruel. No one has the right to take someone else life no matter what they're crime is.

No one has the right to prey on the innocent, no matter how innocent they are?

No one has the right to rape an innocent 13 year old at knife point also and as far as I am concerned these 2 gave up their rights when they carried out ths horrific act.

um maybe if you read it right you would know it said THEY WERE ACCUSED nothing was ever proven most likely a cover up because they were gay

That’s odd? I’m sure ‘rape’ or even being gay, are not considered to be crimes in Iran.

thats were your wrong they kill people all the time over there for being Gay

why are people gay in the first place? i mean honestly. who started this by being gay?

I'm not too enlightened about islamic teachings, but I think Muhammed has written that being gay is wrong.



I don't know, but what I do know is that it goes against nature.

I think you'll find that there are plenty of recorded examples of same sex pair bonding in the animal world.

Blame society, for children being gay in the first place.

It's not a 'trend' that just started, peoples sexual preference is dictated by their hormones, in most cases that leads to heterosexual attractions, but there are of of course exceptions.

agreed.

Some people theorize that "gayness" is a disease or disorder of the brain, which is pure fiction. Being gay, however, is not always genetic. MOST gay people DO choose to be gay, due to problems with the opposite sex, etc.

Yeah, but it is formed from one being a product of their environment. IMO it isn't scientific.

I blame the Doodlebops.

I agree that homosexuality is a product of society's increasing tolerance to the immoral. I also believe that it is immoral to choose to be gay. However, I also believe that certain homosexuals were created to test our nerves, basically to see whether we would HATE them or not.

Besides, there is no use in hating them ,after all, its a problem that is not likely to go away anytime soon!!

They were tried and that's why they were hanged. They raped another guy... That's grounds for hanging over there. As it should be worldwide.



Got any proof of that claim?



Fiction? It is a disorder. Did you know up till 1979 it was in the psychology's book of mental disorders till high powered groups got it forced out? It is truely a mental problem to be gay or lesbian because the purpose of life is to spread on genes to keep your spieces going. *If* it is genetic and biological... they are a mental disorder by the facts of nature.

They raped a 13-year old for Pete's Sake! How do they NOT deserve execution? The world is better without these scum...

REALLY? I had no knowledge that it was in the book of medical disorders.
I only know what I have read in books and such.

They do not deserve to have there lives taken for a mistake (yes, a very horrible mistake) they made in there teenage years, they have (had) there whole life ahead of them, plenty of time for a change to be made. Im not saying a change in them being gay, but a change in there violence involving this. If they where in america they would be given alot of time but would of ended up our of prison on parole probably within 10 years, given the fact that they where minors. you can't say these kids are scum, neither of us where there the day this happened, the goverment could of gave the media the explanation that they raped the kid at knifepoint. But even if they did I don't believe they should have there stolen from them.

agreed.

The Muslims view being gay as a crime against God. I am sure that even if they hadn't supposedly raped another boy, they would have been hung anyway. Now I don't view being gay as a crime or a sign of weakness, but from what religion teaches, God does. If God views it as wrong, then it should be left to God to punish the gay in the after life. It is wrong to hang someone because they are gay OR even if they've raped someone. It is like a someone who punishes someone elses child, us being the children and God our child. Two wrongs don't make a right. For any crime other than murder, people should be given a second chance. Needless to say they do deserve jail time. Even when someone commits murder, they should be given the choice to spend life in prison or recieve the death penalty. Then again, you cannot blame the Muslims so much since Islam is the "blood hungry" religion.

how would you feel if u were fuc*ed and you couldnt do nothin bout it

But despite all the rants about being gay or not gay, they still raped an innocent person.

Even if they've raped an innocent boy, as I've stated before, no one should have their life taken away unless they've commited murder. Then again, that's just my opinion, and maybe other people don't share my views because they aren't as forgiving as me. What troubles me, is that I don't think even the first name of the victim was mentioned, which gives me more reason to believe the victim never existed.

Not very good, but I still wouldn't wish death on anyone, you cannot come back.

I don't think the punishment fits the crime. Putting someone to death is not to be taken lightly. I tend to agree that murderers should be the only ones put to death. There are ways to deal with other crimes, like prison.

Anyways, karma will always make sure one gets their just reward.

Thanks for seeing my truth NC

While it's cruel, I'm tired of hearing about how bad gays are always being treated.

they were tried YES however NOTHING WAS EVER PROVEN OF THE 'RAPE' CLAIM

Hmm...

Even if they really did rape a 13 year old, they shouldn't be hanged. Unfortunately, since Islam is the blood-hungry religion, I guess we cannot expect anything less.

I'm not a Muslim and I'm agreeing with this. I really do love a lot of their punishments for killers, rapists and sickos. Really opens people's eyes of what will happen to them if they want to do the same thing.

Yeah, only the eyes of Muslims. Look at what the punishment for rape is here in america and canada

Only Muslim's there because those are the only countries that practice that.

Yeah, they get some prison time and then released back into the general public. I would agree with that in some cases as many rapes each year are lies or the woman/man was just way to far out of it.

But if they have solid evidence and more... Hang them, fry them, shoot them, inject them with all sorts of goodie drugs to end their life... The bottom line is saying, you do this, you die.

*sighz* people don't CHOOSE to be gay they were born like- regarding to those people who said who started this gay buisness anyways- well they didn't choose to be gay and nobody started it people were born like that their brains are different from the "normal" people. Homosexual men's brains are more similar to heterosexual women's brains they think a little more alike and its not their fault its in genetic defects during birth so would you people. This has been proven and I assure you this is not BS if any of you people read books about the brain or search it on the internet you might find some information about it. And how does being gay go against nature? for God's sake it part of their nature! damn it.....

some people provoke me to kil....... just kidding!

I agree, everytime I see someone who's gay, I just know it, just by listening to their voice, whaching their attitude, and their looks. This is mostly true of men
