    Homosexuality is a capital offense in Saudi Arabia, Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan

    And each of those countries has a certain malicious actor(s), which has either guided its path down such a reactionary Islamist road, or left no other substantial unifying forces for the people to fall back on available (re: Iran).

    I’m sure the Hashemites and the aspirations of the pan-Arab secularists, Mossadegh and the Tudeh party, poor Dr. Najibullah and the Afghan socialists, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and (for all her faults) his daughter Benazir, and now Imran Khan and the PTI are all incredibly grateful for Uncle Sam and its rabid British bulldog’s assistance.

      Yep, when Israelis were like Pakistan is expelling afghans from their country, why can’t we… They were being disingenuous and hiding the fact that America had supported a fascist military coup there just the year before. Imran Khan was going to give them citizenship.
