This was sent to me by an old friend who thought that when he told me of his "life choice", I would turn away from him. Fooled him. A friend is a friend until they do something to hurt me. His choices are his choices. But in the reading of the email that he sent me, he sounded genuinely concerned. He said he might have to vote for a Republican to save his life. Imagine that?
I know it's not all muslims, but it's their religious leaders who guide the flock, so to speak. I am scared for my friend and his friends too.

In the midst of sectarian violence that threatens to drag Iraq into civil war, the country's influential Shiite cleric Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani has issued a violent death order against gays and lesbians on his Web site, according to London-based LGBT human rights groups OutRage.
Written in Arabic, the fatwa comes from a press conference with the powerful religious cleric, where he was asked about the judgment on sodomy and lesbianism. “Forbidden,” Sistani answered, according to OutRage, “Punished, in fact, killed. The people involved should be killed in the worst, most severe way of killing.”
