ISIS throws gay men off buildings under guise of Sharia law - Polidicks

[QUOTE=AlexConnor;47901171]The established punishment is being tossed off a cliff. ISIS though is apparently willing to improvise when suitable cliffs are not available.[/QUOTE] They basically live in caves. They have cliffs.

[QUOTE=download;47898415]What if two people from two different flirt squads lure eachother out?[/QUOTE] That's like getting two private investigators and making them follow each other.

[QUOTE] ISIS claimed, they were gay.[/QUOTE] what if they weren't?

[QUOTE=Thomo_UK;47902285]Religious law should have no standing in any modern society[/QUOTE] I totally agree with you however Sharia law is a fundamental pillar of Islam, to deny it is to deny their entire religion, something countries of the world are not willing to do. Very few Islamic countries do not have Sharia law, the main one being Turkey however the demand for Sharia law in Turkey is rising and the west has been appeasing Muslims by allowing 'minor' integration of Sharia courts as an alternative legal system.

If they really were fairies, why didn't they fly away?

[QUOTE=Arrows;47902485]I totally agree with you however Sharia law is a fundamental pillar of Islam, to deny it is to deny their entire religion[/QUOTE] Is denying canon law denying the entire Catholic religion, or is denying Halakha denying the entire Judaic religion? People for some reason assume it's only Islam which has its own law system, when every single religion including the church of England has its own system of laws and codes.

[QUOTE=joes33431;47901525]why? historical revisionism is only a useful tool to totalitarians who want to consolidate power by pretending that an opposition doesn't exist[/QUOTE] As a historian, I adore historical revisionism. It's pretty much the best source of research on historical research, if you wanna be super meta. Just reading about Japanese views on WWII compared to German views and Western views makes me all giddy and wiggly all over. Gets even better when you go into times in history that people are actually proud of instead of just trying to hide. Revisionism is the best satire for historians.

Is throwing them off a building an actual punishment according to sharia law though? Heck did they even have buildings tall enough when they formed sharia law.

[QUOTE=adam1172;47905776]Is throwing them off a building an actual punishment according to sharia law though? Heck did they even have buildings tall enough when they formed sharia law.[/QUOTE] They're probably supposed to be stoned to death for it. The Earth is kinda like a big stone that hits you very fast.

[QUOTE=joes33431;47901525]why? historical revisionism is only a useful tool to totalitarians who want to consolidate power by pretending that an opposition doesn't exist[/QUOTE] Just quipping in here for the record, historical revision doesn't mean removing stuff it literally means being a historian and correcting things that are wrong, or reanalyzing historical events from a different cultural/national perspective (as cultures and nations tend to exert bias in historical interpretation) Like if people said "vikings wore horned helmets" and you correctly said "actually that never happened" that would be an example of historical revisionism because you're correcting a commonly held misconception. When it comes down to it, the fact that people use "historical revisionism" as a pejorative is pretty bad, because it's basically part of a system of peer review and standard scholarly practice. History is not a popularity contest, things that actually happened are history. Deleting or erasing history on the other hand, is something entirely different than revisionism.

[QUOTE=adam1172;47905776]Is throwing them off a building an actual punishment according to sharia law though? Heck did they even have buildings tall enough when they formed sharia law.[/QUOTE] Sharia law says either a high place or a cliff, I forget which.

[QUOTE=AlexConnor;47909945]Sharia law says either a high place or a cliff, I forget which.[/QUOTE] I'm pretty sure they had to be stoned to death

Does anyone in Iraq support ISIS? I think the media sort of has an image of them being portrayed as taking Iraq Hostage, but ISIS is effectively a populist movement. They have a popular ideology which resonates with poor people. In the photo album we see people gathered around the building to watch this shit happen; are they supporters of ISIS?

[QUOTE=Matrix374;47909975]I'm pretty sure they had to be stoned to death[/QUOTE] For fuck sake. Does it really matter? The whole thing essentially boils down to: If man puts dick in man, kill both. The whole toss off cliff/building/stone them is just a method, the end result is that you kill gays.

It's mostly due to the Shi'ites in control of Baghdad passing Sunnis in the province as second class citizens. The Islamic States's support there is more out of considering them the lesser of two evils than being pro for their policies.
