Q: You'd think people that just have a different sexual orientation are criminals there. Some moroccan gay guys I know live their whole life in hiding. As if it is still the 5th century and not making babies was a threat to survival. Why is it that arabic countries are so harsh for people that are different? OK also in Christian countries people can quote a phrase out of the Bible condemning homosexuality (and then ignore the 200 odd damnations of heterosexuality, men with beards, approval of slavery, etc). Any idea? What is the underlying fear or prejudice?
A: Thats what happens when you let countries be run by religious trodolytes, you get irrational laws and injustice. It's called theocracy. The muslim religion does not allow homosexuals and most arab countries laws are run by religion rather then secular reason.
