TS/TV/CD Love Blog - Because Of Your Uniqueness

In a part of the world where you can lose a hand for stealing and adulterers are stoned to death, is it any wonder that gay Muslim,Mehdi Kazemi of Iran sought asylum inBritain after learning that his partner had been charged with sodomy and hanged.

Initially Britain rejected his application for asylum and he was forced to apply in the Netherlands. The Netherlands’ highest court rejected his claim in March, ruling that Britain was responsible for the case under European Union law because it was there that Kazemi first applied for asylum.

Britain’s Home Secretary Jacqui Smith decided after that to reconsider the case, and there were appeals in the House of Lords that he be allowed to remain due to fears his life could be at risk in Iran.

Britain said Tuesday that it is granting asylum to a gay Iranian teenager.

Thank God that the political putz’s finally reconsidered the boy’s plight. What amazes me is that he was rejected in the first place. Unfortunately in Britain he will be up against a society and discriminates against against Muslims, and a Muslim community that sees homosexuality as a Western disease.
