Muslim gay bashing in the Middle East
The Islamic Middle East as a whole is not safe for LGBTQ.[1] Not only in more oppressive regimes such as Iran, but even in less oppressive circles.
The 2022 brutal beheading of 25-year-old Ahmad Abu Murkhiyeh, who had been living in Israel for the past two years as an asylum-seeker after authorities acknowledged his life would be in danger if he returned to Palestinian territory,'[2][3][4] had highlighted the broader danger gay Arabs face among Muslim "Palestinian" society.
The Palestinian-apologetic Biden administration was criticized for its silence and not calling to investigate the Palestinian Authority. Despite its pouring aid there,[5] which much of it is used for its racist terror ("pay-for-slay").[6]
Christian theology is antithetical to gay bashing
While Christianity does teach that homosexuality is a sin, Christianity also teaches that one should love others - even your enemies who persecute you (Matthew 5:44). Jesus also taught "But I say to you, Do not resist an evildoer. But if anyone strikes you on the right cheek, turn the other also...". (Matthew 5:39 NRSV). And the Apostle Paul taught: "If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all." (Romans 12:18).
Jewish theology is antithetical to gay bashing
The Talmud instructs to pray for eradicating the sin, not the sinner. [7]

Yeah. Why is there no demand to conduct an investigation? After all, has ploughed tens of millions of $$$ into the PA justice system. Surely there must be something to show for that... Or was it all stolen by the Palestinian leadership?
