Gambian Leader Makes Ahmadinejad Cream His Jeans

Even old Mahmoud didn't go this far when he said "In Iran we don't have homosexuals like in your country,":

Eccentric Gambian President Yahya Jammeh has threatened to behead gays unless they leave the country, according to reports.

"The Gambia is a country of believers ... sinful and immoral practices (such) as homosexuality will not be tolerated in this country," the president told a crowd at a political rally on May 15, local journalists told AFP on Thursday.

He went on to say he would "cut off the head" of any gay person caught in The Gambia.

The anti-gay campaign continued in the Gambian pro-government media this week with the Daily Observer publishing a virulent editorial.

"We have said it before and we will say it again. This is a Muslim and Christian country. Both the Koran and the holy Bible condemn homosexuality - pure and simple," the paper wrote on Monday.

Nice, why waste energy on stoning or hanging them or pushing over brick walls when you can just whack off their heads and be done with it? I imagine more Muslim than Christian as those pesky Episcopalians haven't offed any gay people in ages.

I recall when Ahmadinejad uttered the "no homosexuals" comment, I found it to be among the more chilling statements I had heard. I waited for the media to condemn him...I'm still waiting. You see, slamming old Mahmoud would mean siding with Bush and the MSM and their liberal followers just couldn't bring themselves to do that.

I'm sure Ahmadinejad is getting all warm and fuzzy reading about Jammeh's solution.
