BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) — Kamal was just 16 when gunmen snatched him off the streets of Baghdad, stuffed him in the trunk of a car and whisked him away to a house. But the real terror was about to begin. The men realized he was gay, Kamal said, when he took his shirt off and they saw that his chest was shaved. “They told me to take off my clothes to rape me or they would kill me immediately. This moment was the worst moment in my life,” he said, weeping as he spoke of the 2005 ordeal. <<<<<<<
This seems like a common Western propaganda effort. Someone tells a story of horror, and the world should push for their cause. It also conveniently makes the heterosexual Iraqis monsters. But, unfortunately, this kind of story works towards brainwashing others as to the ‘legitimate’ reasons why we are in Iraq. Especially, when the Western gay communities seem to be against the Iraq War at this time.
Stumble It!
