Meet the New Saddams - The Ayatollah Sistani Version

The Independent gives us the story of the killing by Iraqi Police of a 14 year old "for being homosexual."

Human rights groups are particularly concerned that the Sadr and Badr militias, both Shia, have stepped up their attacks on the gay community after a string of religious rulings, since the US-led invasion, calling for the eradication of homosexuals.

Grand Ayatollah Sistani recently issued a fatwa on his website calling for the execution of gays in the "worst, most severe way".

What a sick SOB ... and remember, this is the guy we've been hailing for helping bring a government of "national unity" to Iraq. I guess freedom, minority rights or even human rights just aren't his forte.
