Ayatollah Javadi-Amoli has blamed homosexuals for spread of Aids and says pro-gay politicians are lower than animals.
An influential Iranian cleric who is entitled to issue juristic rulings according to the Sharia law, has condemned western lawmakers involved in the decriminalisation of homosexuality, saying those politicians are lower than animals.
Ayatollah Abdollah Javadi-Amoli, an Islamic scholar based in Iran's holy city of Qom, said in a speech among his followers that homosexuals are inferior to dogs and pigs, according to the news website Khabaronline.
"If a society commits a new sin, it will face a new punishment," he said while interpreting Qur'anic verses about prophet Lot whose tribe Isalmic scholars say was punished by God for sodomy. "Problems like Aids did not exist before."
Citing the Qur'an, Javadi-Amoli said politicians who pass laws in favour of homosexuals are lower than animals. "Even animals ... dogs and pigs don't engage in this disgusting act [homosexuality] but yet they [western politicians] pass laws in favour of them in their parliaments."
BTW: You can see from the photo on the linked page how These folks deal with 'political correctness'!
OF course the liberal media isn't going to pick it up and capitalize on it as they would if a conservative said it. Because they know Islamist will be after their heads.

Funny how American social conservatives will beam with happiness when it comes to Middle Eastern homophobia as a whole, yet don't actually support anything about Middle Easterners as a whole.
But I guess being hateful against gays is something bigots worldwide share.
I'm VERY pro-gay.....I just find it ironic that people will turn around and say the same things back at religious groups....but they justify it because (wait for it) ......they are right.
in public denunciation islam is great. but like jimmy swaggart-- after they finish the sermon & clock out-- other stuff happens.
watch out kids that is not your daddy.
moral licensing is the cancer of the 21st century.
