'Honor killing': Arab teen in Jerusalem murdered by family because he was gay?
Israel Matzav ^ | 7/2/14 | Carl in Jerusalem

I can't confirm this yet, but we've already seen stories in the mainstream media that claim that the Arab teen who was killed in the Jerusalem Forest overnight may have been murdered by family members. What the mainstream media is not telling you (as those who read Hebrew can see from the story above), is that the teen may have been the victim of an honor killing because he was gay.

There's also another version of the story, which is only slightly different.

In any event, this murder was not carried out by a Jew. But why let that ruin a good excuse for a riot?

That is a fine cultural point I was not aware of. In the states, the effeminate behavior matters, but we mainly base our assumptions on their actual behavior, not necessarily so in the Arab culture.

I’ve been predicting that we’ll go to war to save Moslems from homophobia!

It’s not all of my friends. The ones that are crazy liberals are friends with the people that I know that are libertarians / Republicans / Conservatives.

I was not too far off the mark. Then again, this was hardly rocket science.

He won’t, at least not likely anyways. That’s the one amazing thing I always see with the left. Their fellow Americans should be serfs to them, but when someone foreign to the United States commits some kind of so-called attrocity, they really don’t care. Chances are, Obama will say that the Arabs need our support so hopefully they will reform some day from savages into Western Liberals.

So in other words, if you are bisexual or homosexual and a tough guy, then you are okay out there.
