Today's God Crimes: Dishonorable killings and the cure for the common gay

Man Gets Acid Poured Down His Throat

In London, a married Muslim woman is in danger of an honor killing after her lover (also a Muslim) was stabbed and beaten with bricks and had sulfuric acid poured down his throat by a gang of men. The 24-year-old victim, who supposedly "insulted" her strictly religious relatives, suffered burns on 90% of his body, which has left him blind and without a tongue. He is not expected to survive. Police have arrested 7 men in connection with the attack. But remember kids, Islam is a religion of peace.

Man Lynched For Marrying Fellow Clan Member
In India, a 21-year-old man was lynched for marrying against the wishes of his tribe-- er, I mean "community". Deemed an honor killing, the man was attacked by residents of his wife's village while on his way to get her. The marriage was opposed by the wife's family and villagers because the couple belonged to the same clan and, therefore, considered brother and sister.

Televangelist Charged with Fraud
In New York, a local televangelist is charged with fraud for ripping off investors out of $2 million for a non-existent gemstone business. Pastor Samuel (Samee) Solanky, 61, broadcasts an Asian Indian Christian program called "Vandana" (which, according to its official website, means "worship"). The site says the show's main purpose "is to communicate the love of God toward human beings and to reveal the ultimate plan for salvation through faith in Jesus Christ the Son of God." Whatever.

Wanna Stop Being Gay? Try Yoga!
And finally, religious leaders in India have passed a resolution opposing the Delhi High Court judgment decriminalizing gay sex, maintaining that homosexuality is against Indian culture. Here are some nuggets of wisdom from these dopey demagogues:

"Homosexuality is not allowed by Indian culture."

"A homosexual person needs a psychiatrist and they should be cured of the disease. They should follow yoga and should do pranayam.”

“Homosexuals cannot donate blood or organs, whereas a normal person can.”

Imagine idiots like this running our country? Oh, wait...
