@zweezey Gays are executed in Iran because homosexuality is against Islam, and Iran is an Islamic State. Those are their beliefs and I don't think anyone anywhere has the right to say that what they believe in is wrong.

Yea apparently the Syrian secret police just hang around in the streets detaining any youth they see just strolling around. This is what happened when a regime goes paranoid.
