Iranian Claims He's Gay to Stay-- but gets the boot anyway!

A 19-year-old Iranian student claims he is gay in order to stay in Europe as a political refugee, but Britain and the Netherlands aren't buying it. Mohdi Kazemi claims he is a homosexual and his boyfriend/ sex partner was executed in Iran for Sodomy. Of course, there is no way to prove the other guy was executed or that he ever even heard of Kazemi. Illegal immigrants will make all sorts of claims to get citizenship and Britain refused his request. He then ran to the Netherlands, which has an even bigger gay population and he made the same claims to them, but they have been flooded with Arab immigrants and have suffered many problems as a result, so they are also reluctant to believe him. On the other hand, some activist groups claim that homosexuals who openly practice what Islam describes as one of the worst sins are in fact executed. One such group says ten gay Iranians have been put to the sword since 2005. Either way, Kazemi probably would have been safe if he didn't publically make his claims in the media, but he's gambling that gay groups will lobby for him to stay. If he's wrong and if he gets sent back, he could have some explaining to do. See Chick's THE GAY BLADE.
