In reply to the discussion: Mateen Profile More Like "A Typical Mass Shooter" Rather Than "Individual Radicalized By ISIS" [View all]Violet_Crumble
(36,382 posts)50. Yep. A long way to go. The full list is in the report I linked to...
It's a third of all countries. The report also had a list of countries where homosexuality can be punishable by death, and a list of countries that have implemented it:
The death penalty for same-sex sexual intimacy is currently codified as being in operation in eight UN States, but it appears to implemented only in five: Iran, Mauritania, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, and Yemen. While not officially codified in a sixth UN State, the death sentence is implemented widely across Iraq .It is also enacted provincially in 12 northern states in Nigeria and the southern parts of Somalia. We are not aware of contemporaneous evidence that consensual same-sex sexual activity has been targeted for the death penalty in Afghanistan, Pakistan52 or Qatar. However, there is evidence that
people who express their sexual or gender diversity are targeted in the areas occupied by Daesh (ISIL/ISIS) in northern Iraq and Syria. Brunei Darussalam is currently phasing in a Syariah Penal Code that sees, in black letter law, the death penalty introduced for certain same-sex sexual activity in 2016, but seems unlikely to be implemented in actuality. We have categorised our information on the death penalty accordingly.
1. Death penalty for same-sex sexual behaviour codified under Sharia and implemented countrywide (5):
Africa Mauritania, Sudan.
Asia Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Yemen.
2 .Death penalty for same-sex sexual behavior codified under Sharia and implemented provincially (2):
Africa 12 northern states in Nigeria and the southern parts of Somalia.
3 Death penalty for same-sex sexual behaviour codified under Sharia but notkn own to be implemented for same-sex behaviour specifically (3):
Asia Afghanistan, Pakistan and Qatar.
4 Death penalty for same-sex sexual behaviour codified under Sharia implemented by vigilantes/non-State actors (2):
Asia Iraq and Daesh (ISIS / ISIL)-held territories in Northern Iraq and northern Syria.53
5 Death penalty for same-sex sexual behaviour codified under Sharia due in 2016
countrywide (1):
Asia Brunei Darussalam.54

The Quran has some sexist, homophobic and violent passages. Do you condone them?
