Very grim story here
More than 100 gay men 'sent to prison camps' in Chechnya
yeah that was as disturbing as i feared
has there been anything said at all by any western government at all? grim
95% muslim population, therefore an increasing lean towards Sharia law - over the past decade thereās been a ban on alcohol, a ban on gambling, enforcement of the wearing of headscarves, the banning of āimmoralā television programs and cartoons, and polygamy is encouraged - but only for straight men.
Itās a perhaps uncomfortable truth to swallow, but Islam is the reason why.
Iām pretty sure lots of Muslims (including queer muslims who you have just completely erased, well done!) would tend to disagree with you.
Wow:
At the time, Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrovās spokesperson denied the claims on the grounds that no one in Chechnya is homosexual. āYou cannot arrest or repress people who just donāt exist in the republic,ā spokesman Alvi Karimov told Interfax.
I disagree and think itās really problematic for you to reduce an explanation for this into an attack on islam, or rather your perceptions of islam which as @DarwinBabe pointed out, are a bit off.
Five grand and the speedboat on this userās IP address being from somewhere around the Burnley area.
He said 95%. Iām sure queer muslims may well disagree with him, but I also doubt that more than 5% of the muslim population (or that of any religious organisation?) would self-identify as āqueerā.
no he didnāt.
He said the population of the country was 95% muslim, and then made ridiculous, offensive and incorrect broad brushstroke remarks about them.
uhhhh donāt know where youāre getting those numbers from pal. maybe read it all back and try again?
Can you point out whatās ridiculous, offensive or incorrect about the following statement re: Chechnya: "over the past decade thereās been a ban on alcohol, a ban on gambling,
enforcement of the wearing of headscarves, the banning of āimmoral"
television programs and cartoons, and polygamy is encouraged - but only
for straight men.ā
more the ā95% muslim population, thereforeā¦ā part.
Why the fuck am I engaging with this
Itās a fact that the population of Chechnya is 95% muslim.
Itās a fact that over the past decade thereās been a ban on alcohol, a ban on gambling, enforcement of the wearing of headscarves, the banning of āimmoralā television programs and cartoons, and polygamy is encouraged - but only for straight men.
