Summery: A man from Nigeria got 20 lashes from an Islamic court in the city of Bauchi after he was convicted for "homosexual offences." According to Islamic Law, courts can convict and punish people for Homosexuality. In Nigeria it is illegal under all laws to commit "Homosexual Acts."
Earlier this month, the Nigerian President signed into law a bill which bans same-sex marriages, gay groups and shows of same-sex public affection. The article writer at the BBC was there when the man was lashed in court. In fact the article says the man was, "relieved" that he had not been punished to death.
Analysis: Now then. Let us consider where I am living at this point in time. As of now, I've spent almost all of my life in Dallas County, Texas. The United States of America. Now, let us compare sexuality laws from Africa to the US.
Now Lets look at Africa Shall we?
That being Shown, I've never really cared for Nigeria and there law. Don't get me wrong, america's not doing much better, but at least we don't torture people for being gay! This is sick in more ways than one. This is stupid.
That's all I have to say.
Here's the source.
Have a good day.
it doesn't matter if your religious belief's conflict with someone's life style it is NOT OKAY to mistreat someone especially whip them or punish them to death. intentionally hurting people conflicts with just about every religion which puts you worse off than anyone you are mistreating in such a way.
ReplyDeleteIt's awful how governments can whip and torture someone for loving someone else! Most religions are against hate, so why would we hate people for such silly reasons? It's as irrational as whipping someone for owning a cat.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh this is horrible. I cannot believe people are being told who they can and cannot love. I just cannot wrap my head around this.
