The Saudi Arabian security forces have arrested 110 men at a "gay wedding" party in Jeddah, according to a Saudi online newspaper. Al-Wifaq, which has connections with the interior ministry, said the authorities had raided a wedding hall on Monday night after a tip-off and found the men - all Saudis - dancing and "behaving like women".
Eighty men were later released, but 30 appeared in a Jeddah court on Wednesday to face charges, the paper said. Homosexuality is illegal in Saudi Arabia and is punished by flogging, jail or death.
The raid was made a day after two men described as gay lovers were executed at Arar, in the north of the kingdom, for allegedly murdering a Pakistani who had found out about their relationship.

Punish? Yeah, right! As in "Oh, beat me - you big brute"!
Still, it is nice to know that the Saudi's are as warped as the stories said.

"... two men described as gay lovers were executed at Arar, in the north of the kingdom, for allegedly murdering a Pakistani who had found out about their relationship."You KNOW liberals will alter this story to say they were executed for being gay, leaving out the fact that they MURDERED A GUY.

What's the big deal? It's not like they were all going into a room 5 times a day and sniffing each others butts as the faced a big black rock. That would be "gay"....

Did Europe bomb them with gayness? That really is the only weapon they have in their arsenal.

Hmmmm.
On one hand, I have to say the Saudi's have the right idea. On the other hand, I really don't have a problem with homosexuals if they'll keep their perversion and agenda to themselves.

I think you probably spend waaay too much time worrying about what other people do with their genitals. I'd suggest you worry about your own genitals. If that's too horrible a thought, then perhaps stamp collecting. I hear that's nice.

But in this twisted country of ours, the homos worship and protect the very political class that would bend over backwards to kiss an Arab on the ass. And then they tell we conservatives that they can understand how we can vote against our own interest.

I was talking to a business man once...who had a lot of dealings in Saudi...and he said that over 50 percent of the men there...are gay. They may keep up appearances with a real wife...but their youthful days are concreted in...and they simply don't give up their gay lifestyle.
