GAY Cruise Ship, turned away by homophobic Islamic Morocco, docks in Spain

The cruise ship Nieuw Amsterdam, on its voyage catering to a gay clientele, docked Sunday in the southern Spanish port of Malaga after Moroccan authorities prohibited it from making its scheduled port of call in Casablanca.

Funny how leftist gays always want to go where their lives would be in danger. They continue to protest against Israel, the ONLY country in the Middle East that offers homosexuals full equal rights.

FOX NEWS (H/T Susan K)  The vessel, carrying 1,564 passengers and 869 crew members, docked about 7:25 a.m. and was scheduled to depart from Malaga later in the day, Malaga Port Authority spokesmen told Efe.

The RSVP Vacations travel agency, which specializes in organizing tourist trips for gay and lesbian customers, said Saturday in a letter to its clients that its agent in the port of Casablanca had reported that “the authorities have cancelled the scheduled July 1 visit despite having previously confirmed it.”

The agency said that they considered this to be “disappointing news” and added that the decision was made after the “visit of a gay cruise ship” turned into “a public and potentially controversial matter.”

Despite the cruise ship’s claims, Morocco’s Tourism Minister Lahcen Haddad denied that the ship was somehow prevented from docking, even thought it was. In Morocco the same-sex relationships are unlawful and punishable to up to three years in jail. Their penal code also bans sex outside marriage, and buying alcohol.

The ship, which belongs to the U.S. company Holland America Line, had scheduled a program for its stay in Casablanca that included a visit to the Hassan II Mosque and to several souks – or traditional marketplaces – in the city.

After the stop in Casablanca, which was supposed to last for about 12 hours, the cruise ship was due to sail to Cadiz, also in southern Spain, and then to continue on to Ibiza in the Balearic Islands, then to the eastern Spanish city of Valencia and finally to end its journey in Barcelona.

Organizers emphasized the “historic welcoming tolerance for gay tourists” in Morocco, despite the fact that the religion – Islam – and the laws of the North African country punish homosexuality.

  1. One day the gays will realize that they need to, as a group, understand that they will be executed in a muslim country for their homosexual life style. Time to realize what islam stands for when it comes to hating gays.

    • One day? Like one day far far in the future? Liberals are idiots and cowards and hypocrits, what makes you think they would ever “realize” anything rational? Then on top of that they are gay, usually even more liberal than the common liberal.If the Morrocans had sunk the ship those idiots would still be calling for the boycott of Israel, so fuk em.

    • That ship would have dropped what? A million dollars in Casablanca? Maybe some of the market and restaurant owners can confront the few loud-mouthed rebel rousers who run mohammed’s EMPIRE on behalf of the majority.

      What chance Holland Lines and ALL others, re-route their ships to Spain, anywhere but moslem countries, which are PRACTICING APARTHEID.

      And Morocco missed a chance to boost Buraq Hussein by showcasing Casablanca, the White House.

  2. are lefties that blind? don’t they realize that Morroco is an Islamic country? maybe 3 years in a morrocan jail will wake them up? Gays visitng a Mosque sayit isn’t so.

  3. Just like many liberal Jews, it appears that many in the gay community are also hell bent on self destruction by supporting the death cult.

  4. THIS IS WHAT WE SHOULD BE DOING – BOYCOTTING ALL GOODS AND SERVICES FROM ANY ISLAMIC COUNTRY. NOT SHOUTING, JUST EXCITED.

    • Sorry I did buy some moroccon olives yesterday, the others where spanish. I did feel better and told them to try and not buy moroccon stuff. But I never eat in muslim places, talk to them, sit near them etc. It is the best I can do and I guess we should all do that.

  5. Dear Gay and Lesbian Leftists,

    Please smell the jihad!

    Moslems are not your friends! They will not be satisfied until they punish Gays and Lesbians and remove their rights and their lives.

    Please join the COUNTERJIHAD. Together we can defeat this evil ANTIHUMAN IDEOLOGY.

    Moslem countries are hellholes…not just for Gays and Lesbians, but for EVERYBODY!

    (It’s their fascist ideology, stupid!)

    • These LBGT creatures are what is wrong with western society. They brought a curse on us through their perversion. They are just as bad as muslims. Despicable. Israel is cursed for tolerating their disgusting parades.

  6. This is hypocracy of course. This is the country western gays go to for boys and where having a small boy is normal for the locals too. I have been to this shit hole country and they not only like boys but prostitution is common if you have money. Typical islamic morolising. The emptiest tins make the loudist noise.

  7. If the gays had been allowed to land in Morocco, I wonder what the odds are that they would face some islamic terrorism for their troubles. The ignorance is really amazing.

  8. Gay, in a mental picture, is children, under a sunny sky, running through fields of wildflowers and butterflies.
    The word does not cause a mental picture of two adults of the same gender wallowing for pleasure.
    The descriptive word should be “odd”. It is not insulting and means “out of the norm”.
    As much as the odd among us would try to convince us differently, the norm is hetro.
    I want the word “GAY” returned to it’s original meaning. Think, for example, how it would help song writers.

    Pee ess: Please tell all your odd friends on that cruise to avoid Iran. But let them know that they can safely visit Israel.

  9. Morocco is indeed well known for prostitution. Both boys and girls, men and women (although mostly the younger ones). Westerners make us of this, but also, amongst others, members of the Saudi elite go to Morocco (and other countries) on sex vacations. Disgusting.

    Anyway, I’m a bisexual man, who has somewhat had it with the current GLBT community. I’m also someone who likes maturity and a type of manliness. And I really dislike islam and muslims. I don’t like orthodox/fundamentalist christians all that much, but I still like them a million times more than I like islam and those filthy muslims. That’s saying something, right?

    Islam is a disgusting ideology of hate and violence, it’s the “religion” of pieces. It’s inherently violent, hatefilled and out on conquest and domination. It is against freedom and against all of my values and beliefs. I believe the counter-jihad are defenders of freedom, of the right values, of humanity and humanism. Which is why I side with the counterjihad. Islam needs to be fought.

    And not only because it hates GLBT people. I could give you a 100 reasons right of the bat why to hate islam, and why to act against it. I won’t, but I could.

    • KH, if you could educate your gay friends who bash Israel but stick up for countries in which they would be jailed or hanged, it would be appreciated. I am truly sick of seeing signs of hatred for Israel from the gay community.

    • I’m a Christian, and I don’t hate gay people (best friend I ever had was a gay man…he died, or he’d still be my best friend). I lived in San Francisco for years, and have many gay and lesbian friends, but they’re conservative, like me. In my opinion, the word “islam” really means hate, not submission, because even those who submit to this hellish ideology are routinely persecuted by other Muslims from different sects. Honestly, I would give my life if it would eliminate Islam from the face of this earth. Knowing my children, family and friends, be they gay or straight, would never have to suffer under such a tyrannical and hate filled ideology would allow me to die a happy woman.

      • Alright, I wholeheartedly Agree with the fact that it is pretty stupid to vacation in a country known for its harsh standing with regards to your orientation. However ISLAM is not the problem here. Muslims do not routinely murder people, I have very dear Muslim friends. However, Islamist extremists, key being extreme, do.

        The god of Islam, the god of Judaism, and the god of Christianity are all the same. They have roots in the same beliefs.

        And calling Muslims homophobes because their religion disallows homosexuality is ignoring the rest of the world. In Jamaica, a popular tourist destination and predominantly Christian in faith, has not only outlawed (male) homosexuality, but has routine mobs that torture massacre gay men and sometimes lesbian women.

        I was raised catholic, and a celibate archbishop told me that love is not about marriage, but about procreation. Since gay couples cannot procreate, they are therefore not god’s will. Granted, this is from an unmarried man. In catholic school I was taught that god had a plan for everyone and he made everyone who they are. I certainly thought this applied to me. However, I am odd, I am a “sinner”. If it were a choice, do you think I would choose this?

        I digress, Muslims are not the enemy. Extremists are. For you know, he KKK was/is a Christian organization.

  10. Gay people subconsciously want to be spanked/beaten down that is why they support islam.
    They want/need someone or something to say no.

  11. I’d love to see about 100 gays go into a mosque, take off their shoes and whatever else, bend over, ass lift and pray while the service is in session with about 100 Muslims standing there with their tongues hanging out!

  12. Proving once again the unshakable alliance between left-leaning liberals and Islamists Charlie Brown had it right…….”we have seen the enemy and they is us”.

  13. Shush, don’t tell the homosexuals that being open to the mohommedists, is, a death sentence.
    They will find out for themselves, they are on a collision course. When they realize they are financed, by many mohommedist benefactors, to achieve the brake down of the Christian/Jewish value system the Ten Commandments. So, this trying to protect everyone from mohommedism is suicide for the West. Its going to get bloody.

  14. As a member of the gay community I will tell you that a good number of us support Israel and see islam for the real threat it is. Yes we have some loud mouthed pro Palestine anti Israel useful idiots among us but they are becoming more marginalized within the community. I think the days of gay islam appeasing is waning as we become more educated about this intolerant, hateful violent religion. Hopefully the gays on that cruise will get a clue of who and what they are dealing with in islam.

    • I wish you the very best in your endeavors concerning enlightening this peculiarly over-tolerant minority among the gay community.
      My contempt for Islam and the destructive tolerance that has enabled conquest of so much of our culture, religious and political structures knows no bounds.

  15. and yet the pedophiles would be welcomed with open arms, seeing pedophillia is a part of islamic religion

  16. I am a muslim and I dont hate Gays, so it is embarrassing to see my religion criticising others for who they are.

    • Gee, what do your holey quran and hadeeths say about Jews? Or unbelievers? Or Christians?
      You’re a hypocritical liar, but then again, that’s what your religion is allah about.

  17. And I don’t hate gay people either. All sinners have the same fate. In fact, as a Christian, it is because I love and believe in Christ that I believe it is also an obligation to state what God says is sin to save the sinner. Sure, people will say it is none of my business, but don’t tell me your business then and stop with the gay parades. WTH anyway.

    New EU-paid project to endorse gender equality in Morocco

    The EU and Morocco this week signed a financing agreement for a support programme to the implementation of the governmental Plan for Equality. This programme will last 48 months and has a budget of €45 million.

    “I am happy for the launch of this programme that we support and that reflects the continuity of the government’s commitment on this issue and its will to implement it,” said EU Head of Delegation in Morocco Eneko Landaburu. “I notice with satisfaction that, similarly to the European Union, the promotion of gender equality is a political priority for the Moroccan government, and that it is very clearly committed to equality through the governmental Plan that we support financially,” he added.

    The objective of this bilateral programme, through the support of the implementation of the governmental Plan for Equality, is to contribute to improving the conditions of the promotion of gender equality and equity in Morocco. Expected results include a better legal protection for women, a greater representation of women in decision-making positions (political and administrative), the development of an equality culture (campaigns, fight against gender stereotypes in the media), the development of policies and sectorial programmes that contribute to gender equality, the reinforcement of the ministry of solidarity, women, family and social development (and particularly women’s affairs’ department) for an effective steering of the strategy.

    The agreement was signed by Ambassador Landaburu, Economy and Finance Minister Nizar Baraka, and Minister of Solidarity, Women, Family and Social Development Mrs. Bassima Hakkoui.

    The ministries of justice; economy and finance; communication; modernization of public sectors; and interior are also partners and involved in the implementation of this programme

  19. I never understood why some gay people seem to be almost obsessed with Islamic countries in the sense that they really want to visit them, party in them, and just full on kick back and chill out — as if Muslims are their best friends.
    This is a good example of why some gay people need to learn that the single biggest threat to them in the world today is probably Islam. They need to get their priorities straight. This also applied to Israel — where being gay doesn’t mean you need to get the Islamic scholars in a feisty debate over whether you should be hanged or thrown off a cliff.
    I don’t get why some gays hate Israel. It’s idiotic. I find it laughable when western liberals go to help the Palestinians and end up beheaded. It’s stuff you can’t make up.

    On the other hand, some of these comments are absolutely disgusting. Many of you are at the same time telling gay people how they should hate Islam because its anti-gay, but then go on and continue calling them names and saying how perverted they are. Why the hell would gay people want anything to do with a crowd of gay haters such as yourselves?
    Gay’s could of been one of your biggest single allies in the fight against Islam, yet you all call them names and generally treat them like animals.

    • Serd, this is about enough form you on the gay issue. This site is not about homosexuals, other than how Islam views/treats them. A lot of people find homosexual behavior to be abhorrent based on their personal or religious beliefs. They are entitled to their opinions. Nobody here wants to see gays slaughtered and if they say as much, they are banned. That is the difference. We are not politically correct at this site and will not bow to the PC Gods, whether it’s about Muslims, gays, or anyone else.
