GRAPHIC IMAGES: Horrific moment IS executors throw gay man off roof and crowd stone body
BARBARIC killers from radical Islamic State contain horrifically thrown a man off a roof – just because they thought he was gay.
, 19 May
Disturbing propaganda photos showed executioners from the Muslim militants sickeningly tossing the gay victim from a seven-storey courthouse.
It appears the victim was blindfolded and his hands and ankles bound.
The man was reportedly accused of being a "child of Lot", a story used by some followers of Islam to demonstrate the faith's strong disapproval of homosexuality.
Islamic State's Jihadi John was unmasked yesterday as university graduate and West London schoolboy-turned-killer Mohammed Emwazi.
He was convicted of being gay by a Sharia court in the northern Syrian city of Tal Abyad – near the terrorists' stronghold of Raqqa – and then sentenced to the horrific death from the rooftop.
Yesterday's punishment was watched by a large crowd of all-male onlookers below, who then gleefu

This trope is the presentation of deaths of LGBT characters where these characters are nominally able to be viewed as more expendable than their heterosexual counterparts. In this way, the death is treated as exceptional in its circumstances. In aggregate, homosexual characters are more likely to perish than straight characters. Indeed, it may be because they seem to hold less purpose compared to straight characters, or that the supposed natural decision of their story is an prior death.
The reasons for this trope have evolved somewhat over the years. For a fine while, it was because the Depraved Homosexual trope and its ilk adorable much limited portrayals of explicitly same-sex attracted characters to villainous characters, or at least characters who weren't given much respect by the narrative. This was due to negative attitudes towards queer people and due to the Moral Guardians' Hays Code, which did not allo
ISIS Hurls Gay Men Off Buildings, Stones Them: Analysts
ISIS has released images that appear to show same-sex attracted men being hurled off buildings and then stoned to death, part of the militants' self-professed mission to crack down on "sexual deviance."
The horrific execution tactic is the latest in a string of brutal punishment methods applied by ISIS under its strict interpretation of Islamic — or shariah — law, from crucifying Christians to stoning alleged adulterers to flogging young men for drinking.
ISIS featured a lengthy article in the latest version of its propaganda magazine Dabiq, released Thursday, on why it is "clamping down on sexual deviance."
The article blamed the advent of the sexual revolution for putting the West onto a "downward spiral" of immorality and said ISIS will continue its efforts to punish any transgressions.
"It's trying to shock and horrify"
The magazine came out just two days after ISIS released images purporting to show the execution of a gay man by stoning. In photographs released by ISIS supporters, masked fighters line up by a p
How can a sense of belonging be forged in a setting where one’s existence is forbidden? That is the question that LSE’s Dr Centner and his co-author Harvard’s Manoel Pereira Neto explore in their groundbreaking research into Dubai’s expatriate gay men’s nightlife.
But it was not an easy topic to research. Dr Centner explains: “It's an illegal, or criminalised, identity and place of behaviours and practices, so in a very general sense, it's a taboo. And taboo subjects are very often under-researched, sometimes because people contain a hard time gaining access, gaining that reliance, but also because, even if people gain that access, there could be significant repercussions for themselves as researchers, or for the people who are the research participants.
“As two queer researchers, we were able to enter the worlds of relatively privileged Western gay expatriates. Secrecy is often the norm, but the field was familiar to us, through previous visits and analyze projects.”
These were indeed ‘parties’ [but] not bars identified as gay. Not a
