US Tax Dollars Paid For This: The War Against Sexual Minorities in Iraq Continues

Not to sound mean spirited, but I suspect the folks I just mentioned at FRC probably like what's happening in Iraq where gays and other "sinners" are being hunted down and killed. I on the other hand find it outrageous that U.S. taxpayers have ended up financing religious based murders and abuse by the Iraqi government and others. The outrages against LGBT people continue and sadly, the U.S. government and U.S. military do nothing about it. The ongoing events in Iraqi underscore that religious fundamentalism of every stripe is a danger to the peace and the civil rights of other citizens. I find it dumb founding in this day and age U.S. politicians continue to be so spineless and unwilling to call a spade a spade. Gay Middle East has details on the latest sad news from Iraq:
*
You don’t even need to be gay or lesbian in Iraq to be in mortal danger from the Iraqi Police force. The latter have been mounting an aggressive campaign against anyone who is merely, by rumour, suspected to be gay or lesbian.
*
The Iraqi Lgbt network of activists inside Iraq have collected new and alarming reports of attacks on the LGBT communities during the month of July. Since June there have been consistent raids on Iraqi LGBT’s safe houses as well as harassment, abuse and assaults on gays, mostly by the Iraqi police. This trend seem to be intensifying now in frequency and brutality. It seems that Iraqi gays are systematically targeted and killed by the Iraqi police as well as suffering from increased homophobia, no doubt intensified by the authorities’ negative campaign.
*
On the 24th of July in the town of AL Zubair, near Basra, three bodies were found with their head severed and notes on their bodies saying there were murdered because they were gay.
*
Iraq remains the most dangerous place on the face of earth for sexual minorities where even a false accusation or rumours of being gay could lead to lethal and horrifying abuse.
*
Iraqi Lgbt and GayMiddleEast.com are calling for the world interfere to stop this genocide , the Iraqi government is responsible in the first place for not protecting its citizen, not investigating any of these incidents, not bringing criminals to justice and for not condemning these crimes.
