You've got the issue now? I don't have it yet. Tell us about the article, though, please.
The article follows a gay Iraqi named Ali Hili (he was forced to change his name) who moved to the UK with the help of a Dutch couple in Amsterdam (Edwin Dadema and Jean Phillipe de Bliek). He now has a British lover in the UK. The couple has been receiving hate mail and death threats from the Islamic community.
One email showed the beheading of a gay Iraqi and it read: " This cold habbens [sic] for you and your Iraqi mather facker [sic] soon.... if he no listen for us and surender [sic] to his government".
Most of Ali's gay friends in Iraq have now been executed, and they even showed a picture of it. It's just really tragic and sad Melissa. It's a very difficult thing to read. We must remember that there are probably several million gay Iraqis living in Iraq, and they are suffering terribly right now. The article stated that gay people were treated fairly well under Saddam Hussein (at least compared to other Islamic countries) but ever since he was removed from government, things have gone from bad to worse for gay people there.
THANKS A LOT PRESIDENT BUSH!!
