Al Quds Al Arabi insists on calling gays being murdered in Iraq "sexual deviants." It has that in the headline and throughout the news report about how they are being hunted down and killed. By refusing to use the neutral word "Methli," which is what Arab gays like to be called, and by insisting on the expression that denigrates homosexuality and cast it as a disease and a sin, Al Quds al Arabi, under the guise of neutral reporting, is cheering on the killers.
This is occurring on the same pages that is shedding tears over six years of the American occupation of Iraq. It is easy to advocate for an abstract Iraq and at the same time betray real Iraqis who are being murdered for being themselves.
Shame.
