Refugee tells horror of being Islamic State target

Syrian refugee Subhi Nahas has told the United Nations Security Council about brutal attacks on homosexuals under the IS regime

Nahas told his experiences of life under IS at an informal closed-door meeting of the Security Council on Monday
Nahas told of how the Nusra Front took over his hometown of Idlib and begun torturing and executing men suspected of being gay. When IS took over they begun throwing men suspected of being gay from rooftops and stoning them if they remained alive.

"I was terrified to go out. Nor was my home safe, as my father, who suspiciously monitored my every move, had learned I was gay. I bear a scar on my chin as a token of his rage," said Nahas.

Nahas fled Syria to Lebanon, then moved to Turkey.
"Death threats followed me to Turkey. A former school friend from Idlib named Khalil had joined (Islamic State). He relayed through a mutual friend that he wanted to kill me, aiming to go to paradise," he said. "I was terrified."
Islamic State has declared a caliphate in territory it has seized in Iraq and Syria.

U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power said this was the first time the U.N. Security Council had discussed lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender issues.

"Today, we take a small but important step in assuming that work. It must not be our last step," she said.

It is extreme...it has nothing to do with their God...its the extremists that hijacked their religion. Secondly its the cowards in the government that will not stand up to the extremists. USA where I live is supposed to have a separation of church and state. It is the extremest Christians that are the thugs and bullys that stomp on GLBT rights, although not anywhere near as dangerous or violent as what happens in Malaysia and the Middle East (YET???).

That is my opinion. I do not know many Muslim people, only a few actually, but the people I know are not extremist, they are my friends and I trust them. My friends are however, more westernized than many people in Asia and the Middle East. I am sure that is what makes at least some difference.

Why did he go Turkey? Doesn't that country also have a reputation of being homophobic? I wish a European country like the Netherlands or Germany could grant him asylum.

Parts of the world certainly are ugly and I wish him the very best... I hope he finds peace someplace.

So the discussion of lgbt issues is a red herring.

IS will simply suspect men of being gay as an excuse to torture and kill.

Adultery, blasphemy are other excuses to justify their actions.

The un need to justify killing jihadists and take action
