“Moderate” Muslim Indonesia:There Is “No Room” In Their Country For LGBT Movement
Yep, Obama worships and praises the Muslim religion that murders and attacks gays. Still the LGBT community continues to strongly support Obama and other Dems like Hillary that have this love affair with Muslim countries. Go figure...
Quote:Indonesia says there is “no room” for the LGBT movement in the world’s most populous Muslim-majority country, as activists blast officials for an unprecedented series of attacks.
A wave of angry rhetoric directed at homosexuals earlier this year — including a call to ban them from university campuses — was the first time senior officials had publicly attacked the South-East Asian nation’s gay community, Human Rights Watch (HRW) said in a report.
Indonesia’s lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) citizens have long been targeted by vigilante Islamist groups.
But the community experienced an “immediate deterioration” in their rights following a condemnation from ministers and influential Islamic organisations over a two-month period, HRW said.
President Joko Widodo’s spokesman Johan Budi said protecting LGBT rights was not a priority.
Some of the most high-profile figures making anti-gay statements during the backlash were Government ministers.
The higher education minister called for a ban on LGBT organisations on university campuses, while the defence minister likened homosexual rights groups to a “type of modern warfare”.

Actually, I've seen this, and it has been coming for a while. I strongly condemn Indonesia. Things are deteriorating, rapidly, there.
There are other issues too. Indonesia is majority Muslim, but there are places in the country where other religions predominate (Hindus in Bali, Christians in parts of Sumatra and on Flores). There have been frequent inter religious fighting in Indonesia. It appears as if Joko is trying to stoke those fears. Its a problem.
It is risible to argue that HRC or Obama supports the persecution of LGBT persons in any way.
Meanwhile, on Thursday, DJT went to speak at a group that supports criminalization of LGBT persons.

It truly is a mental disorder for Tom to hate americans the way he does, yet bow and blow those people who really would kill him. And if his lying crooked leader takes money from those who would kill him, no biggie.
Its just like how pro-Obamacare he was until he got put under it. But does he blame the people who took a dump on him? No. He blames the people who voted against it.

Its not that hard to look this stuff up.
On Thursday, DJT spoke at Liberty Counsel
Liberty Counsel https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/...ty-counsel
"He (Staver) has also supported the criminalization of homosexuality both in the U.S. and in other countries, stating in one instance that Malawi’s anti-homosexuality laws were in its “own best interests” after the U.S. reportedly withheld monetary aid to the country because of its efforts to outlaw homosexuality. In the Counsel’s amicus curiae brief in the 2003 Lawrence v. Texas lawsuit in which the Supreme Court decriminalized sodomy, the attorneys writing (including Staver) called for the court to uphold anti-sodomy laws, stating that “This Court again should decline to deprive states of the power to enact statutes that proscribe harmful and immoral conduct.”
Not only in the US, but in other countries too.
There also the links between them and Uganda's "Kill the Gays" bill
And DJT's campaign was aware of all of the complaints about Liberty Counsel.

Can any lib here name one thing Obama or Hillary has done to try and change the treatment of gays by any Muslim country? Surely they have at least tried?

Gambia. http://www.washingtonblade.com/2015/05/1...-comments/
Egypt. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/08/world/....html?_r=0
By the way, Egypt is really, really, really bad for us.
Just off the top of my head.
I wish we'd invade Saudi Arabia, but that ain't happening. At least Obama has moved the US to a 'free agent' in the Iran vs KSA fight, thus helping us to have some leverage.
And Obama allows LGBT refugees from Muslim states to gain refugee status. Trump? Probably not.
