Openly gay Tunisian lawyer and prominent LGBT rights advocate Mounir Baatour wants to become the next president of Muslim-majority Tunisia, where homosexuality is currently punishable by up to three years in prison, several news outlets reported over the weekend.
Islam, which forbids homosexuality, is the official state religion in the North African country. Nearly 100 percent of the population is Muslim, according to the CIA World Factbook and other independent sources.
The pro-Israel Baatour says he is determined to fight despite a nearly non-existent chance of winning.
On Sunday, Deutsche Welle (DW) reported:
There’s still quite a bit of time before Tunisia’s presidential election in November, but a number of people have already declared their candidacy for the highest office in the land. Among them is Mounir Baatour, chairman of Shams, an organization that fights for the rights of homosexual and transgender citizens.
Baatour has been fighting for LGBT rights for years, and now he wants to do so from the top.

He probably shouldn't make any plans for Labor Day.

Many years ago, the ship I was on had a port call in Tunisia. My buddy and I were walking around and we actually saw the President, (his face was on their money), getting into his limousine.

Islam, which forbids homosexuality, is the official state religion in the North African country. C'mon, Breitbart! Islam is NOT a "religion"! Good gawd, how long is it going to take before we consistently refer to it as a THEOCRACY? That's "Islam 101" and it's significantly important!

Baatour is what we call an Apostate. He’s no longer a true Muslim. He could only get away with that crap in the USA where other phoney apostates like Sarsour and the crazy homely “Muslim” reps can make up their own BS and get away with it.

What is it about the GOP that attracts worms like Ryan and Romney? Do these two dolts realize how little they’ve actually ever accomplished in life or politics?
To: AnotherUnixGeek
Oops wrong thread. Never mind. Romney and Ryan are dolts in all threads.
To: Governor Dinwiddie
Green bananas should not be on his shopping list either. But he does have a nice set! Tunisia. Wow.

We got them beat.
"We" had our first Muslim gay president, though he wasn't so open about it.
Our gay president pretended to be neither gay nor Muslim. Heck, he even pretended to be a natural born American. We elected a complete farce, with no accomplishments and with a hate-American attitude.
