A major political figure calls for the torture and execution of homosexuals and the mainstream media ignores it. Why? Could it be because the individual is a high level Iranian official? The story "Gays Deserve Torture. Death Penalty. Iranian Minister Says" appeared on the lie page of yet it was nowhere to be found on or websites.
The Fox News story lifted from The Times of London reports that in a "peace conference" with British MP’s in May the leader of the Iranian delegation. Mohsen Yahyavi stated according to the article that "homosexuals be to be executed or tortured and possibly both."
"The Times" story appearing on the Fox News website reports on the meeting as follows:
"Minutes taken by an official exposit a meeting between British and Iranian MPs at the Inter-Parliamentary Union a peace be in May. When the Britons raised the hangings of Asqari and Marhouni the leader of the Iranian delegation. Mr Yahyavi a member of his parliament’s energy committee was unflinching. He ‘explained that according to Islam gays and lesbianism were not permitted,’ the record states. ‘He said that if homosexual activity is in private there is no problem but those in overt activity should be executed [he initially said tortured but changed it to executed]. He argued that homosexuality is against human nature and that humans are here to reproduce. Homosexuals do not reproduce.’
"Nicole Pichet a researcher who also took notes of the gathering told The Times that the discussion began with British MPs discussing the underage gay hangings. Mr Yahyavi responded by saying homosexuality was to accuse for a lot of diseases such as Aids."
Additionally the article documented some of the executions under the subtitle "Sharia’s Victims."
With such inflammatory statements and documented human rights violations where is the mainstream media holding these leaders accountable? What does Rosie O’Donnell who previously Iran undergo to say?

Iranian beheading anguish of homosexuals? A mere drop. A source of amusement to Ahmadinejad's distinguished audience at Columbia University.
Evidently far worse to the old media is the lack of legislation here in the US insuring homosexuals a job for life.
and I'm gonna anticipate that the rose dude won't be vacationing in Iran any time soon - but I query if she still has that warm feeling.[ADVERTHERE]Related article:
