Homosexuals have been persecuted for centuries in Islamic countries. The atrocities perpetrated against the Muslim gay community is only matched by the continued, brutal suppression and condemnation they endure. This campaign of terror waged on gay Muslim men is the catalyst that has given rise to ISIS. In a coordinated effort, the members of ISIS are finally standing up for gay rights in the Middle East and it's time we support them in this cause. It's time we recognize ISIS singular demand as the first gay Islamic state. The bloodshed and chaos will only continue until we give these gay Muslim men the voice they so desperately murder for.
