An influential Iranian cleric who is entitled to issue juristic rulings according to the Sharia law, has condemned western lawmakers involved in the decriminalisation of homosexuality, saying those politicians are lower than animals.

This is not new. All infidels are lower than animals, according to Qur’an 8:55.

Citing the Qur’an, Javadi-Amoli said politicians who pass laws in favour of homosexuals are lower than animals. “Even animals … dogs and pigs don’t engage in this disgusting act [homosexuality] but yet they [western politicians] pass laws in favour of them in their parliaments.”

It is telling that an influential Muslim religious leader could call homosexuals lower than “dogs and pigs” without a global outcry, and without recognition of the clear evidence that the West is embroiled in a global war that is inherently religious in character.
