ISIS has released images of a man suspected of adultery being stoned to death - as the UN said the terror group has executed at least 30 people for being gay.

The first-ever UN Security Council meeting highlighted the 'barbaric treatment' of lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgender people in territory held by the extremist group.

Jessica Stern, executive director of the International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission, told the council that militant courts in Iraq and Syria claim to have punished homosexuality through stoning, firing squads, beheadings and pushing men off tall buildings.

Meanwhile horrific pictures were posted online of hooded fighters stoning a man to death in Nineveh, Iraq - apparently for cheating on his wife.

Fear of Islamic State has fuelled violence by other militias and 'private actors' against LGBT individuals, Ms Stern told the privately-held meeting at UN headquarters in New York.

In her remarks, which were released publicly, she stressed that persecution of LGBT people in Iraq and Syria began long before the emergence of Islamic State militants and 'murder is only the most extreme form of violence.'

'In addition to men perceived as gay, trans-identified people and lesbians are among those who have been raped and killed,' she added.

The Islamic State group is now in control of about a third of Syria and Iraq.

Ms Stern called for specific strategies to combat LGBT attacks, including UN action to relocate those most in need and bringing the gay community into broader human rights and humanitarian initiatives.

'It's about time, 70 years after the creation of the UN, that the fate of LGBT persons who fear for their lives around the world is taking center stage,' said U.S. Ambassador Samantha Power, who organized the meeting on violence and discrimination against LGBT people with Chile's UN envoy.

President Barack Obama has strongly supported LGBT rights, and Monday's meeting follows the June 27 U.S. Supreme Court ruling legalizing same-sex marriages in all 50 states. Chile's President Michelle Bachelet declared in April 2013 that she supports same-sex marriage and would seek to legalize it, though that hasn't happened yet.

In June a report by the UN human rights chief said at least 76 countries retain laws used to criminalise and harass people on the basis of their sexual orientation and gender identity or expression, including laws criminalising consensual same-sex relationships among adults.

France's UN Mission tweeted during Monday's meeting that 'Violence, discriminations based on sexual orientation by #Daesh #ISIS may constitute international crimes.'

ISIS 'TAPS INTO WIDESPREAD HOMOPHOBIA IN THE MIDDLE EAST'

UN Security Council members on Monday heard Syrian and Iraqi gay men tell of their terror-filled lives under the Islamic State, in the first-ever council meeting on LGBT rights.

Subhi Nahas told the meeting that gays in his Syrian hometown of Idlib were being hurled from rooftops and stoned by cheering townspeople, including children.

'In the Islamic State, gays are being tracked and killed all the time,' said Nahas, who escaped and now works for a refugee organization in the United States.

Gays in Idlib were targeted by the Syrian government, then by Al-Qaeda affiliate Al-Nusra Front after it took over the city in 2012 and finally by IS jihadists who seized control in 2014.

'At the executions, hundreds of townspeople including children cheered jubilantly as (if) at a wedding,' Nahas recounted.

Adnan, an Iraqi who spoke by phone from an undisclosed location in the Middle East, said he had suffered brutality at the hands of Iraqi security forces before IS fighters showed up and feared his family could have turned him in to IS jihadists.

IS fighters 'are professional when it comes to tracking gay people. They hunt them down one by one. When they capture people, they go through the person's phone and contacts and Facebook friends,' said Adnan, who used a false name out of fear for his safety.

'They are trying to track down every gay man. And it's like dominoes. If one goes, the others will be taken down too.' 

 
 

 

Adnan told the council that Islamic State taps into widespread homophobia in the Middle East.

'In my society, being gay means death and when ISIS kills gays, most people are happy because they think we are evil, and ISIS gets a good credit for that,' said Adnan.

Addressing the council, Nahas appealed to governments to grant safe haven to sexual minorities so that 'they can again know security' and called for action to end the war in Syria, now in its fifth year.

Nahas told reporters after the meeting that LGBT was not 'just a terminology invented by the West' and that sexual minorities in the Middle East 'want their rights too.'

I am amazed at all the liberal outrage over Nativity Scenes or pictures of Jesus but nary a peep about people being stoned and killed by Isis.

That doesn't fit with the liberal mantra.  Haven't you been paying attention?  It doesn't fit with their group think mentality--so they choose to ignore it.

The plain fact of the matter is that if liberals and Democrats were as concerned about gay rights as they purport to be, they would be demanding we go to war and stop such atrocities. The fact that the "right" to force a baker to bake a cake for a gay wedding gets more press and outrage than people dying horrible deaths simply for being gay is atrocious.

Nineveh. The city God sent Jonah to. The city he was so afraid of going to, he tried to flee and hide from God.

The city he finally went to, after 3 days in a fishes belly, and preached.

Seems Nineveh has a long, long history of violence and turmoil. And need for God.

Is really so surprising to see the places of the Bible still in the spotlight after all these years?

But perhaps there is nothing to it all. Just a great big coincidence.

I have a question for the moderators. If I'm going to be a member of this illustrious group, I'd like to know how things work around here.
Flan called someone ugly and got booted off immediately. Ohfour called me a tool and gets a gentle warning. I'd like to know exactly how the rules are applied. Are they contingent on how beloved a member is? How many friends they have? How religious they are?
Is there an approved list of name calling? Are some worse than others?
Thank you in advance for your prompt response.

If anyone is now "baiting", I would say it is you.  Do you really think this is the place to bring up that question?  Don't you think this is better as a PM.  LL has rules clearly posted.  If you want to ask her for a clarification, then of course.  But, if you are trying to call out "LL" as if she is treating people unfairly, that seems like you should be doing it in a PM.  Just my opinion.  BTW, calling other posters "trolls" and "baiters" I think would qualify as name calling too.   And, if you notice, when LL gave 04 a warning, she stopped.  Perhaps you should let it stop too.

Sigh. Welts - you still haven't actually read the rules, have you? Disclipline actions are in the sole discretion of the moderators of this board and are not open to debate. When you join - you are accepting that. Period.

But, for your clarification, flan was not banned "immediately". She had already been warned in recent history twice about name calling. Which you don't know because you weren't here - so you should REALLY not be so hasty to judge.

Now - please go and read the rules of this forum CAREFULLY. I've already been more than patient with you.

Well, it is and it isn't.  If a poster feels they are being treated unfairly, I think it's fair to question the application of the rules.  I agree that a PM is probably a better way to do it--and I think in this case, LL explained it pretty well.
