The death penalty for a murderer. Sounds good so far. But, leave it to the Saudis to hand out the death sentence, not because a murder took place, instead because the murderer is a homosexual.
Now, as a Christian, I too oppose homosexuality because God has made it clear in His Word that it is a sin. Yet, I would never consider harming someone because of a perverted sexual preference. Homosexuals deserve kindness and respect just like anyone else. But, in Islam, the sin of homosexuality trumps that of murder.
Prince could face death penalty in Saudi Arabia(UKPA) – 2 days ago
"A Saudi prince accused of murdering his servant at a London hotel could face the death penalty in his home country over his alleged gay sex life, a court has heard.
Homosexuality is illegal under Saudi Arabia's sharia law code, an Old Bailey jury trying Saud Abdulaziz bin Nasser al Saud was told.
At times the families of defendants in such cases have pushed for the most severe penalty because of the perceived shame, the court heard. Saud, 34, is accused of killing 32-year-old Bandar Abdulaziz during a ferocious attack with a 'sexual element' in February.
Two male escorts are alleged to have performed sex acts on the prince at the Landmark hotel in central London where he and Mr Abdulaziz were staying. John Kelsey-Fry QC, defending, has denied suggestions that the two men were in a gay relationship.
Bobbie Cheema, prosecuting, said: 'Homosexuality is illegal in Saudi Arabia and carries the death penalty which is still applied in some cases.
'The country in which any alleged acts took place would have little bearing on the likelihood of prosecution as the Saudi legal system is based on the sharia law which is considered to be universal.
"Whether the defendant would be prosecuted is a matter for the Saudi authorities but would to some extent depend on the wishes of his family. The defendant could be at risk from members of his own family who may feel that he has brought shame on the family. He could also be at risk from members of the victim's family, although as he is a member of the Saudi royal family this risk would be reduced."

Yet, the homosexuals continue to align themselves with the leftwingloons in support of muslim causes and away from Conservative principles and beliefs.
The leftwingloons leading the sheep to the slaughter?
Stupid is, Stupid does.
Clearly, homosexuals should not be put to death or face any other for their sexual orientation. But your Religious Rightwingnut spin is a lie, Ms. MoreLies.
You say "God has made it clear in His word that [homosexuality] is a sin. Yet I would never consider harming" a homosexual.
Hypocrisy, thy name is MoreLies.
You claim you believe in the literal word of the Bible, and you often cite Leviticus to back up your erroneous "belief", But do you not know the literal wording of Leviticus 20:13?
"If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them."
So, Ms. Literal Truth Religious Rightwingnut, why wouldn't you harm a homosexual? The literal words of the Bible require you to put them to death.
Now, AnonyMouse we can understand: he's just a flat-out idiot, so nobody sould expect him to understand anything he says or does. But you, Ms. MoreLies? You claim to be intelligent, intelligent enough to keep your kids away from a real school with real teachers so that you can homeskool them with your own brilliance.
How can you be such a hypocrite?
Yes, Diogenes, I am well aware of what Leviticus says about homosexuality. Leviticus is a book of Jewish law, and I am not Jewish. I am under grace as a believer because of what Christ did for me on the cross.
As to my "brilliance", I never claimed to be brilliant, nor am I. It's discernment that I've claimed to have, and that's available to any Christian who seeks it. Perhaps, you should try doing so. Support for Barack Obama and discernment are not compatible.
So you're picking and choosing which parts of the Bible you should take literally and which you should not? You decide which part of ONE SENTENCE should be taken literally, and which should be discarded as meaningless?
Jesus Christ NEVER castigated homosexuals like you Religious Rightwingnuts do. Don't you DARE offer Him as defense for your homophobia.
If I am to believe the subtitle of your blog, your blog should be much shorter.
Your parents raised you right, why do you not honor your father and mother as the bible says? You must feel shame for you unnatural behavior.
Life is more difficult for gay individuals."
How can you say that with a straight face?
It's homophobes like you and AnonyMouse and JustaDumbass that MAKE life so difficult for gays.
It's analogous to Hitler noting that being a Jew in Germany during World War II was somewhat problematic.
No, Jesus would not castigate gays. Nor am I; it's the lifestyle I object to, not the person. And I do not want a homosexual agenda pushed on America or our military. The people themselves are deceived and need to see the light, but they should always be treated with kindness and respect. There is a difference, but you refuse to see it.
The American Psychological Association and the American Association of Pediatrics, are homosexuals, lesbians, authors and editors of homosexual publications that are strongly and vocally in favor of homosexual adoption.
HazteOir Report:
"Report on Infantile Development in Same-Sex Couples"
http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2005/may/05053106.html
Among children raised by same-sex couples, the report notes a significant increase in low self-esteem, stress, confusion regarding sexual identity, an increase in mental illness, drug use, promiscuity, STD’s, and homosexual behavior.
there's plenty of evidence to prove that homosexual adoption is harmful to the child, isn’t it our obligation as adults to protect all minor children from any harm or abuse, Psychological or Physical?
It's time for America to reevaluate it’s policies concerning homosexual adoption and stop the indoctrination and recruitment of vulnerable children in the name of political correctness and tolerance.
Mark: take your childish rant over to comedy central and stop sucking your thumb!
Liberals want gays and other nut jobs to become the majority in our military, with family oriented people being uncomfortable, wanting to get out.
They know the NORMAL soldiers would never turn on American citizens even under orders.
Remember obama's comment on a "civilian" force, equal in strength to the military?
Well, he won't need it if the military is populated with left wing extremists and homos.
He wants a totalitarian regime, and he needs evil people to carry it out by force.
Show me ONE instance where Jesus Christ ever said ANYTHING - one way or another - about homosexuality.
Since He didn't, on what basis can you ignore the clear truth of the literal Word? The Bible says that homosexuals should be put to death. Who are YOU to argue with the literal word of God??
You've danced around it twice, MoreLies. Ever going to address the question?
And JustaDumbass? Who knew that, when I hung you with that nickname because of your initials, it would prove to be so accurate? How delusional are you? You think that if one gay is allowed in the military, next thing you know a majority of the Armed Forces will be homosexual? And that they'll turn into Obama's Homo Brownshirts, helping him take over the world? That's really stupid, even for you, JustaDumbass. If you truly believe that, even for a split-second, get yourself some professional help.
Diogenes: Christians are not under Old Testament law. The law was set up between God and the Jewish people as the civil law for the nation of Israel.
Christians are under grace, and our relationship with God is as individuals or as a church, not as a form of government.
Jesus never discussed homosexuality, but the entire Bible is the inspired Word of God. God makes it clear in both the OT and the NT that homosexuality is an abomination in His sight.
What is most telling is the fact that God is watching this debate between you and me. He sees me defending His Word and His standards, while you mock His Word. Perhaps, you should dust off your Bible and read 1 Corinthians 6: 9-10 and Romans 1: 18-32.
If you truly believe that "the entire Bible is the inspired word of God" then how can you possibly ignore the command to put homosexuals to death for their homosexuality? Since Jesus never once mentioned (much less condemned) homosexuality, what gives YOU the right to disregard any part of what you say is the inspired word of God? Did God, while He was watching our "conversation", tell you it was OK to go ahead and disregard Leviticus?
If God spends even a moment watching your precious little blog, MoreLies, He is simply wasting is time. Of course that is His prerogative; He is God, after all. But He won't see you defending His word and His standards... He'll see you callously defending your own decidedly un-Christian comments and your own Religious Rightwingnut standards... which have nothing to do with true Christianity.
