The
gay US ambassador to the Philippines
had a similar gay rights party in Manila.
We stand with our Pakistani brethren
in condemning such cultural terrorism.
The US government is clearly, overtly,
aggressively mounting an attack on family
and life and against our Judeo-Christian
values. The US government under Obama
is the worst imperialist neo-colonialist
power in the world today.
Pakistanis
denounce U.S. Embassy’s gay rights
party as ‘cultural terrorism’

ISLAMABAD,
Pakistan, July 26, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com)
– A U.S. Embassy party in Islamabad
billed as a celebration of homosexual
rights inflamed conservative Pakistani
groups, who condemned the event as an
act of “cultural
terrorism” aimed at the
country’s Islamic values.
The
U.S. Embassy held a “gay pride”
celebration on June 26, the first ever
promotion of homosexual rights by U.S.
diplomats in the Islamic nation.
The
Associated Press
(AP) reported that a coalition
of religious and political leaders,
including Pakistan’s largest Islamic
party, Jamaat-e-Islami, released a statement
condemning the U.S.
government’s homosexual advocacy,
calling it the “worst social and
cultural terrorism against Pakistan.”
The
group called it the second most dangerous
U.S. attack on Pakistan, following the
unmanned drone attacks carried out by
U.S. forces on suspected Islamic terrorists.
According
to the AP, U.S. deputy ambassador Richard
Hoagland hosted the party, which was
co-sponsored by Gays and Lesbians in
Foreign Affairs Agencies. Seventy-five
individuals attended the party to show
solidarity with homosexuals seeking
social and political acceptance in the
country.
“I
want to be clear: the U.S. Embassy is
here to support you and stand by your
side every step of the way,” stated
Hoagland.
The
AP adds that Pakistan’s
penal code punishes “carnal intercourse
against the order of nature”
with a fine, prison sentences between
two years to life, or both. Homosexual
acts may also merit the death penalty
under Sharia law.
The
embassy’s public revelation of
the celebration after the fact provoked
protests in major cities across Pakistan,
fanning anti-American resentment.
“We
condemn the American conspiracy to encourage
bisexualism in our country,” said
Mohammad Hussain Mehnati, Karachi’s
chief of the Jamaat-e-Islami, according
to the Express
Tribune. Over 100 persons
reportedly attended the demonstration.
“They
have destroyed us physically, imposed
the so-called war on terrorism on us
and now they have unleashed cultural
terrorism on us.”

to me to live is Christ, and to die is
gain." (Phil 1:21)
