Today’s New York Times had an article about the elevation of Ayman al-Zawahri to lead Al Queda following the death of Osama Bin Laden. What we learned is that al-Zawahri is an anti-gay psychopath that needs to be put out of his misery ASAP. According to the Times:
One dark tale from Mr. Zawahri’s past is recounted in “Growing Up Bin Laden,” a 2008 memoir by Bin Laden’s son Omar bin laden. He describes an episode in Afghanistan in the 1990′s when a friend — a teenage boy — was raped by several men in a camp where they lived. The men snapped photos of the abuse and circulated them as a joke.
Mr. Zawahri was incensed by the photos, believing that the young man was guilty of homosexual activity, Omar bin Laden wrote. Mr. Zawahri had the teenager put on trial and condemned to death.
“My friend was dragged into a room with Zawahri, who shot him in the head,” he wrote. The episode was a factor, he said, in his decision to break with his father and leave Afghanistan.
Calling Navy Seals — please find and take care of Al Qaeda’s New leader!
Another example of homophobia being a mental illness for some.
Yes, and it goes hand in hand with virulent misogyny. We’ve all heard the stories of young girls who are raped and since ‘it’s their fault’, they are put to death to retain the so called ‘family honor’; while the rapists go free.
Sickening. Al Qaeda needs to be eradicated for the good of all humanity. I’m glad Omar bin Laden got out. I wish him the best of luck.
I hope nobody thinks that our own religious fundamentalists wouldn’t love to be able to do the same thing.
