Hmm caught me napping since I didn't do a data verify interesting numbers though
1/10 average thanks jaysabi

That's what I heard on the radio too, that they through them off something like a 3 story building.  Now I'm thinking, there had to be higher buildings or did they do that intentionally for a slow death?  Whatever the case.. it's messed up regardless of anyone's sexual orientation.  Then again, it's news but it's not surprising at all.  I mean it's important people know about it and talk about it but I don't think anyone is surprised by this at all.

I can't find where these numbers come from at all. Here are the actual stats from the report, page 5 in case you want to actually look it up:

World Public Opinion:
61 8% of Egyptians approve of attacks on Americans
32 5% of Indonesians approve of attacks on Americans
41 9% of Pakistanis approve of attacks on Americans
38 7% of Moroccans approve of attacks on Americans
83 24% of Palestinians approve of attacks on Americans (only 14 59% oppose)
62 11% of Jordanians approve of attacks on Americans (21 68% oppose)
42 8% of Turks approve of some of attacks on Americans (45 74% oppose)

http://www.worldpublicopinion.org/pipa/pdf/feb09/STARTII_Feb09_rpt.pdf   <---- Highly recommend checking your sources before copy/pasting someone else's interpretation of them. These numbers aren't even close.

Very much focus from the media on ISIS right now... it's nothing new that homos has been executed for their deeds in Islam countries..

And that's just the tip of the iceberg. They also put a man in a cage and set him alight. And they tricked a mother into eating her kidnapped son. Granted, these were isolated examples but still.


There are functional democracies in the Middle East although they tend to be quite rare. Turkey, while not perfect, is probably the most well known example. Kuwait and Lebanon also have democratic governments.

EDIT: While not located in the Middle East, Morocco and Tunisia are Muslim-majority countries with democracies. And if you go further east, there are also Muslim-majority democracies in Asia too (e.g. Indonesia, Bangladesh, and Kyrgyzstan).

I stand humbled. But would like to add that the results of opinion polls can be twisted by asking leading questions.
Moreover, there is a lot of resentment against America because of it supporting Israel. So questions asked about America result in a hostile response.

Nice peaceful guys indeed... :/

You are giving me too much credits. I am just a simpleton copy paster. The people involved in that link did all the heavy lifting (and it is always updated)

But to be fair (and balanced) I am sure there is as much counter studies to prove all that data wrong............................... 

They just killed 20 innocent, non homosexual people just a few days ago. If they're saying that like it's a big thing, they've been mostly targeting journalists. This is like saying they've killed all these men for doing freelance journalism.

Nice one Wilkon writing a research paper over here and I don't even have that many citations for my data
You should go write one on approval ratings of ISIS and other groups around the world you got more than enough polling evidence to infer and draw trend data co-variants R values and come to a conclusion ^^

Yes i think this a very good rule of thumb 50% of the time. Like when you get groups of guys hanging out at the gym or pub etc assuming people are gay for not being like them whilst they hang out with guys lol.  #topgun

Muslim Opinion Polls

A "Tiny Minority of Extremists"?

"Strive hard against the unbelievers and the hypocrites and be
unyielding to them; and their abode is hell, and evil is their destination." 
Quran 9:73

Have you heard that Islam is a peaceful religion because most Muslims live peacefully and that only a "tiny minority of extremists" practice violence?  That's like saying that White supremacy must be perfectly fine since only a tiny minority of racists ever hurt anyone.  Neither does it explain why religious violence is largely endemic to Islam, despite the tremendous persecution of religious minorities in Muslim countries.

In truth, even a tiny minority of "1%" of Muslims worldwide translates to 15 million believers - which is hardly an insignificant number.  However, the "minority" of Muslims who approve of terrorists, their goals, or their means of achieving them is much greater than this.  In fact, it isn't even a true minority in some cases, depending on how goals and targets are defined.

The following polls convey what Muslims say are their attitudes toward terrorism, al-Qaeda, Osama bin Laden, the 9/11 attacks, violence in defense of Islam, Sharia, honor killings, and matters concerning assimilation in Western society.  The results are all the more astonishing because most of the polls were conducted by organizations with an obvious interest in "discovering" agreeable statistics that downplay any cause for concern.

(These have been compiled over the years, so not all links remain active.  We will continue adding  to this).

I would contest your assertion that a large percentage of Muslims agree with ISIS. It is possible that what you see is a very vocal minority. Even in Iraq/Syria, a large percentage of the population could be silent because they are terrified of ISIS.
If we had democracies in these regions, we would get an idea of the thoughts of the majority. Unfortunately, we don't.

Well they got their beliefs.

During the old time, homosexuality really is not accepted.

They are just making this an issue now because of the internet.

It's also really disturbing seeing photos of men being thrown from high buildings blindfolded for being gay. And women being stoned for adultery. They really do choose the most fucked up ways of killing people.

Most of them I think are brainwashed by their leaders to do those acts and those strict rules that were imposed on them. At the end of the day they always think and feel that they have done a righteous action and just following the rules and commandments of their so called leaders and their god.

You do not prove the general with the exception.

A large percentage of Muslims agree with the radicals such as ISIS.  That can never be the case with Christianity.

That's the problem with a lot of people, they're more obsessed over who the person was that got killed rather than the actual killing itself.

I don't know if killing more people will resolve anything. That's what helped created the situation in the first place.
Maybe helping improve the lives of people there and stop funding radicals is better. ISIS won't disappear quickly but the situation won't get worse : /

It wasn't good enough for you that they just killed people?

Don't discriminate, it doesn't matter who they killed. The killing is the worst part of it all.

Well human historical history has a significant weight on our culture and in understanding what happened in the past it's value is debatable to a human life but the sheer amount of impact it can have on many lives puts it at number 1, women's issues well besides all the rape and murder going on over there and the chattel labor they die a slow death seems like a blessing in disguise to be killed immediately the inverse is tragic human suffering, with a miracle occurring in redemption.

It depends on where you put your general value at, for me the Homosexual killing is on a lower totem than the other two areas, but is still important after all its not nice to kill people, also ISIS is doing a lot of crazy things Homosexual murder is one that is consistent with their agenda, artifact destruction of other religions due to intolerance of false gods, and marital rape do fit in with their ideology but not as strongly as the former.

You can put it up as a value judgement which is more valuable ancient historical artifacts that can now never be appreciated by future generations but have been treasured and cultured for millennia by people all over the world and perhaps changed many individual lives for the better in countless ways, the suffering of people who are treated as slaves and are still living, or dead homosexuals or accused homosexuals in the country.

Tough call but I totem them up that way, some people will never decide or consider taking an action towards any of them.

Artifacts- Huge weight influences many people across generations when destroyed so are the positive externalities
Woman Issues - Long duration, suffering impacts many people, issue continues
Homo death - Death impact on a few individuals, society continues as it were until their is a change in the above two, either through a strong cultural and societal shift, or the living impacting the future.

So on a value of human life scale, one that impacts many lives versus one that impacts a few lives is the judgement weight.

i am surprised that anyone is shocked.  barbarians over there.  just nuke em already

True, everyone have their own values set and everyone sees life differently, they might have their upbringing in the way what they are showing with their deeds to the world now.

No idea. They have some sort of charts for that. So probably a computer told them that value .


I someone goes to kill shouldn't think about such stuff. That would draw attention from the main goal.
Do you think a pilot or an artillery man thinking about such things while delivering an 500 lbs piece of democracy?

"who the hell are they to do that"
They are in power and in charge. That gives them the "right" to do so. (Until someone stronger kicks their asses.)
BTW we are very much got used to the more civilised western approach about life, but many of those guys are not. If someone grown up in a society where getting killed by Saddam's or Assad's henchman or by the americans, perhaps by your own neighbours if put your dick to the wrong place was part of life then that person will have a very different opinion about the value of life.  

There are crazy people in all religions.
The only problem, unfortunately for Muslims, is that extremists like ISIS are in power.

Here is an example of a Christian who would like to see gays executed.

http://www.thenewcivilrightsmovement.com/davidbadash/christian_activist_files_ballot_measure_to_execute_all_gay_people_by_bullets_to_the_head
A Christian activist would like to see all gay people in California executed by firing squad, just so the rest of the citizenry can avoid having to endure God's "wrath." Matt McLaughlin last week paid $200 to file a ballot initiative with the Attorney General in Sacramento that proposes his Sodomite Suppression Act become law.

@OP,
If you think that it's their limit, you are wrong.

Just check this, a 10 year old boy 'shooting Mossad spy dead':

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2988352/Islamic-State-s-propaganda-arm-announces-broadcast-execution-Israeli-spy-captured-Syria-year.html

How can a company decide the value of one's life???
It takes a lot of time to grow, and people like these just don't even think before killing anyone, they don't see that if the ones they are killing are having red blood, then their own blood is also red and God has made everyone common, so why these f*cktards discriminate, and BTW who the hell are they to do that???

I've made a perhaps cynical translation (simplification) but that doesn't mean that I agree. BTW your insurance company can tell you the exact price of a human life .

Translation: I'm a horrible human being. All civilizations have murdered each other and waged war against others since the dawn of humanity but that doesnt excuse it still going on. Also human life is priceless. Old rocks can always be carved again or replaced. Lives cannot. Rocks have no value other than what humans give them. They're just rocks at the end of the day.

If you can't figure that out, you need to re examine your premises.

OK, then I'll try to translate for you: Human life is used to be quite cheap stuff over there, and those locals (when they are not being massacred by 3rd parties like mongols, americans, etc) used to massacre each other since the dawn of human history, but there are still plenty of them.
However those fancy rocks are unique non reproducible priceless things.

How can you say you're more concerned about artifact destruction or womens issues? Both are important but not more than a hunman life, especially the artifacts. You cannot compare killing homosexuals to destroying bits of fancy rock (as outrageous or  immoral as it may be).

That depends. If you are from the Christian stock then radical islam is worse, as their extremist are surely far worse than our extremists . Actually probably this is true as unlike these islamist guys, most evangelical christian preachers not going cut off people's head in the middle of Dallas for being gay.

I don't know which one of these is worse. Radical Islam or Evangelical Christianity? Both these groups want to destroy the human civilization and send the people back to the stone age.

This is a default position for the Islamic state, I'm more concerned about artifact destruction, and women issues
Not to say that this is not bad, just saying that with ISIS homosexual killing does not seem like such a strange thing considering what they represent, and their hatred of Western Culture that tolerates and accepts this.

As for how they know well assuming they caught them in the act, if not its a witch hunt against people they don't like or go against them.

Iraq: Crowd Cheers As ISIS Publicly Beheads Two Men For Being Gay, Another For Blasphemy…










Chilling new images have emerged of three men accused of homosexuality and blasphemy being forced to their knees and publicly beheaded by a sword-wielding Islamic State executioner.

Photographs of the barbaric murders show the blindfolded men kneeling in the centre of what appears to be a traffic roundabout with a crowd of people looking on as a masked executioner stands by with a long, rusty blade.

After an elderly man uses a microphone to read to the crowd from his notes, the executioner then steps forward with the blade poised above the men’s heads in the unnamed city in northern Iraq.

Accompanying captions said the trio were then beheaded – two for engaging in homosexual acts and the third for alleged blasphemy – but there were no images released of the actual beheading.

The jihadist group, which controls swathes of Iraq and neighbouring Syria, has carried out hundreds of barbaric executions as it has imposed its brutal version of Islamic law, many of which are photographed or videotaped.[…]

Many young men have also been thrown from the roofs of buildings throughout ISIS-controlled areas after being accused of engaging in homosexual acts.[…]

The man, named only as Saleh, said the masked militant who appears in several beheading videos was a senior figure in the extremist organisation responsible for murdering foreign captives.

Jihadi John, who was recently unmasked as 26-year-old Londoner Mohammed Emwazi, was last seen in a video posted online which appeared to show Japanese hostage Kenji Goto lying dead.

Saleh, who worked as a translator, also revealed that ISIS routinely subjected hostages to mock executions so that when their beheading did finally come they were not expecting to die, according to Sky News.

Gays (europe, usa, etc) do not care about those people. Too bad they weren't christian bakers...

I read somewhere it was 4 men for homosexuality.

In some very Christian African countries homosexuality also carries death penalty, thanks to US American preachers...

Communists make the state the religion so they aren't really athiests, but to their credit, at least that's something which is actually real.

What about using them as animal feed in a pig farm... ?

[offtopic]
BTW the very atheist commies committed some even more serious stuff in mere 70 years than most religions altogether in the last 1000 years.
Opposing gay marriage and killing gays are not the same weight-class...
[/offtopic]

They may actually enjoy it. I would instead send them to a farm for cattle insemination... Them being the cows...

What I'd do with these guys is send them to prison.  I have an idea how they'd get treated, something like the way pedophiles get treated in there...

Every single organisation on earth defending the rights of gays does not care about your news, today or in the past.

That is why you may have heard of a christian baker being sued for refusing to make a wedding cake for lesbians, but nothing on social media regarding your news and all of those gay people who died in the past months and months, killed by isis...

The pink mafia does not care. Just google isis gay killed.... Then be sadly amazed.

Their "actions" might seem to be old, but not the news, it was posted today...

Where have you been all this time? Old news. The pink mafia does not care anyway...

Yes, you are right in your statement, what needs to be destroyed is the enviousness, the enmity amongst people and not the people themselves...

Nah, this is where I disagree, religious doctrine encourages bad people, gives them excuses and corrupts otherwise good people, I hate religion, the systems, but I know human beings are complicated so I just seek to end these systems of government rather than the people, that's the only way to start a true revolution anyway.

Being anti-Gay is super gay, IMO.

It's weird and, well... gay to spend your time and effort focusing on "who is gay" and "what are gay people doing". Why is this such a thing with religious people? Can't get it out of your mind? Want to punish someone else for living the life they want, while you have to repress your own feelings?

I don't hate Muslims, nor any religions, I respect them all but I don't believe in any...
And yes, "One Bad Fish Spoils the Whole Pond" is what applicable here...

I hate all religion because they create room for people like this but I'm not so blinded that I'll automatically attack every Muslim out there for this shit, I'm in the UK and I've grown up in a Muslim populated area so I know they're not all bad. The problem is there are a lot of vocal assholes amongst them so like with anything it is easy to hate them with that many people out in force in favour of this shit, but then again, a lot of Christians are against gay marriage and are actively trying to block it in the U.S and have been for decades.

It's terrible but no more terrible than all the other shit they do. ISIS will get wiped out eventually so they'll get their deathwish but sadly at the expense of more costly wars so all they're doing is just giving the west another excuse to invade them again  but that's probably what they want.

Very true said, I feel these Islamic people should not use the word "Jehad" for such deeds that they do, while they actually don't understand what's the meaning behind...

P.S.: I am not a Muslim, this is my personal view for such kind of people...

Exactly, for stuff like this there is no real evidence it's just mob rule, more likely these are people that resist them or trying to stop them, or simply just pissed them off so they decide to get some of their friends together and make a show of it for their propaganda, religious dictatorships are no different from secular ones, they just use different excuses for killing their own people, in this case, god is their excuse.

Um this isn't new. They've killed lots of alledged homosexuals. They frequently seem to be throwing them off buildings. What I wonder is how do they even know they're homosexuals? Probably just like a witch hunt I bet.

This is the limit...
