Harvard invites the leader of one of the world’s foremost terror-loving countries and he advocates capital punishment for homosexuals… and the liberal Left is silent (hat tip: Allah).

In response to another question, Khatami also justified his country’s use of capital punishment for acts of homosexuality, but said that the conditions for execution are so strict that they are “virtually impossible to meet.”

“Homosexuality is a crime in Islam and crimes are punishable,” Khatami said. “And the fact that a crime could be punished by execution is debatable.”

The audience responded with silence to his remark.

But let a Republican get misinterpreted mentioning gays and fruits in the same sentence and all hell breaks loose.

Nice consistency ya got goin’ on there, folks.

Update: A commenter over at HotAir nails it:

The Left will allow any atrocity by the animals of the world so long as they throw in “Bush Sucks” or “America is he Great Satan”, to the moonbats this absolves them of all other trangression.

4. Interesting that you make the comparison between Radical islam and Radical Christianity. fair analogy really.

   You are right, I mean all the left wing blogs should have picked up on this and started screaming. You know, just like the outrage shown by all the other rightwing blogs.

5. “Interesting that you make the comparison between Radical islam and Radical Christianity. fair analogy really.”
   Nice try, thomas. Criticizing a government for recognizing special legal status based upon sexual activity is in no way the same as advocating the death of those who engage in such activity.

   “You are right, I mean all the left wing blogs should have picked up on this and started screaming. You know, just like the outrage shown by all the other rightwing blogs.”
   That’s not the point. At least I posted about this comment, which really is outrageous enough it doesn’t need added commentary. The fact that the leftwing gets so excited when a Republican says anything remotely negative towards gays, but sits silently when a world leader justifies killing gays for being homosexual is the point. Total hypocrisy.

6. Jason, I admire the patience and persistence you have in dealing with commenters like Thomas. It’s difficult for me to believe he is attempting to engage in honest debate.

7. Remember (sorry, the blogger.com site is down and the Google cache version is linked here)who was captured by Iraqi terrorists whose family pleaded for his release but kept quite about his gay status for fear he would be killed? Somebody need to interview James Loney about Rosie’s remark. Rosie’s is full of holes here with her reasonings and that’s stemming from pure hate rather than rationality.

    Jim U, try it again. Blogger was out that day and had to resort to the Google cache.
