---------------------------- agree on travel to north korea, but speculation on Christians doing the same as 'islam' if they could is simply speculation Syriusly .well sure , all of islam sucks but especially their shariah , especially if you are these TYPE guys . Lucky for them that they didn't have illegal drugs in their pockets eh ?? They shoulda stayed in a country that has no problem with their lifestyle.
Frankly I feel the same way whenever an American travels to North Korea- have some common sense!
I think this provinces laws are cruel and idiotic- just as I think the laws still in place- but unenforceable in the United States now thanks to the Supreme Court- that would imprison these guys for their 'lifestyle'.
Something to remember- there are many here at USMB which would welcome this same law if it was repackaged as a "Christian values law"
That is why there are still anti-gay laws on the books across America.
--------------------------------------------------- TRANSLATORS aren't special and deserve nothing extra like coming to the USA in my opinion . TRANSLATORS received their payment in 'iraq' after doing the jobs that they begged to do . Translators worked for MONEY and were paid in full Syriusly .Yet another reason Trump's travel ban was the right way to go. We don't want this in our country!
LOL- that is as idiotic as the 'ban' itself.
God why are you Trumpsters so ignorant?
The ban would have let Indonesians into the country- even if they had been in a mosque the day before.
But it would have prevented Iraqi's who had worked as translators for our troops- from coming in.
Thanks Trump.

Not exactly 'just speculation'
There are people here as USMB such as Stevie the racist- who claims to be a Christian who has praised the killing of gays by ISIS.
And then there is the fact that all of the anti-gay laws on the books in America- that would put gays in jail for doing what this couple in Indonesia were caned for- were passed by Christians- and only are irrelevant now because the Supreme Court told states that you can't do that to Americans.
Red herring, BE SPECIFIC and quote where he said any such thing as the drivel you just posted.Russia imprisons gays when they are gay pedophiles. When gays find a child and groom the poor kid into accepting an adult lover.
Good for Russia.
So you applaud when 'gay pedophiles' are thrown in prison- but don't care whether straight pedophiles are thrown in prison or not.
Another crucial difference between us- I am against all child molesters- whether their victims are little boys or little girls.
Russia imprisons gays because they are gay- and because Putin wants gays in prison.

America’s Afghan And Iraqi Interpreters Risk Lives But Wait Years In Danger For Visas
The Americans are not going to be here forever,” Taliban militants told Faizi while he was on assignment in a Kandahar prison. “Now we know your face.” They vowed to the 27-year-old, U.S.-contracted linguist that they would find him the moment the Americans pulled out of Afghanistan.
Faizi knew those were no idle threats. When suicide bombers attacked the base his friend and colleague Farhad was working on, the linguist was the first one to be targeted.
“The first thing they did was shoot him,” Faizi says.
Faizi is one of tens of thousands of Afghans who have been employed by the U.S. military, government and contractors during 12 years of war in Afghanistan. He has been working with U.S. troops since 2009 and embedded with units in some of the most dangerous parts of the country. He joined them on patrols, got caught up in the same attacks and suffered from the same IED blasts.
“We are like members of a family, we and the U.S. troops,” Faizi says. “We take care of each other.”
With Americans preparing to withdraw from Afghanistan by the end of 2014, however, Faizi and his colleagues increasingly fear for their lives. To protect their safety, their last names are omitted in this article. The interpreters have set their hopes on a Special Immigrant Visa (SIV), a program created by Congress for Afghans and Iraqis who worked with the U.S. during the wars and are in danger because of their service. Yet the SIV application process is long and tremendously complicated, and the program is set to expire within months. While legislators are working to extend the program and expand its effectiveness and reach, many of America’s allies in Afghanistan and Iraq currently remain in fear of their lives.
Faizi applied for his SIV in 2012, and while he already made it through the first application round, he has been waiting for over a year to receive the paperwork for the next phase. By now, most people in his Kabul neighborhood know he’s working with the Americans, and considering the Taliban threats he received in Kandahar, he fears for his life and the safety of his family.
“My entire family will be under threat and danger when the Americans leave. That’s why we applied for the visa,” he says. “But the process is very, very slow.” Faizi says most of his colleagues applied for the program at least two years ago and are still in harm’s way.
“We are abandoning Afghans who worked with U.S. troops to a certain death,” says Ronald Payne, a U.S. Army nurse who served in Afghanistan and founded the Allied Freedom Project, a Texas-based nonprofit that assists Afghans who are applying for an SIV. Payne’s comments in this article are his own and not on behalf of the military.

Okay- so our troops don't deserve anything special because they 'work for money' and were paid in full- right?
Fact is that these translators put their own- and their families lives at risk helping American troops- and were an integral part of the safety of American troops.
Of course you don't care about what happens to them.
But the American troops they supported do.

What I won't do is condemn an entire religion for the actions of some cultists. It's like judging Elvis by his fan clubs...
