Hard line Islamist groups are hunting down gay people in Iraq by locating people through internet chat rooms. This year alone hundreds of gay men have been hunted down, tortured and killed by gangs who have turned to policing the supposed moral and cultural sphere now the Iraqi police are more successfully carrying out normal law enforcement.
One mother described how she received a blood soaked note claiming her son had been purified and where to find his body. He was discovered tortured to death - his anus glued shut and penis cut off.
The hunting down and killing of openly gay people in post invasion Iraq is nothing new, but hunting people down and killing them by hunting them down on the web marks a new low for human rights in the country.
Under Saddam Hussein the gay community was largely left alone. Since the dictators removal from power the vacuum has been filled by Islamic extremists.

That is terrible. Religion or not something like that is just plain wrong.

It's religion. Why are people surprised? Religion rules. We don't. We need to rid our society of this blight!
