Chechnya starts concentration camps for gay men, first time after Hitler

[phands]

This time it's the disgusting islam (just another variant of the abrahamic nastiness, like xtianity) in the driving seat of evil. I have zero doubt that xtians would do this if they could.....

Homosexual men are being tortured with electric shocks and beaten to death in concentration camps in Chechnya. This is the first concentration camp for homosexuals since Hitler's camps in 1930s.
Reports have emerged that 100 gay men were detained and three killed in these camps last week. Novaya Gazeta, a Russian newspaper known for its critical and investigative coverage of Russian politics and social affairs, said that several camps have been set up in Chechnya where gay men have been forced to promise to leave the republic.
The report in Novaya Gazeta said that those arrested include well-known local television personalities and religious figures.
President Ramzan Kadyrov, a key ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, allegedly ordered the clampdown and is known to have previously encouraged extrajudicial killings of homosexual men as an alternative to law enforcement. Kadyrov claims that there are no gay men in the republic and denies the arrests ever took place. He described the allegations as 'absolute lies and disinformation'. He, instead, claims that such people would be killed by their own families. In some cases, gay men in prison have been released early specifically to enable their murder by relatives.

Sometimes I wonder if religion is the cause or the symptom. I guess it's both.

Religion is a very interesting phenomenon, from an academic, intellectual perspective certainly on a par with insanity.

I can hear the response coming, wait for it...they do not represent true Islam. Islam is actually tolerant. I suppose Saudi Arabia does. Egypt. Iran.
