"RAMALLAH, West Bank (AP) - Former President Jimmy Carter embraced a leading Hamas figure Tuesday, according to participants in a meeting that infuriated Israeli officials already upset by Carter's freelance Mideast peace mission. Carter also laid a wreath at the grave of Yasser Arafat, whom the Bush administration and many Israelis blame for the breakdown of peace talks seven years ago and the violence that followed.
At a reception in the West Bank town of Ramallah organized by Carter's office, the former president hugged Nasser Shaer, a senior Hamas politician, meeting participants said. Embraces between men are a common custom in Arab culture."

I'm so glad they added that. I almost thought Jimmy Carter was gay!

MEMRI made a point of translating a trial in Iraq where a Sunni "terrorist" is questioned about his gay past, and is made to swear under oath that he is homosexual. I have seen MEMRI translate no other Iraqi terrorism trials. Kind of shows you were those people are at.
You can find the clip under "sunni terrorist admits he is gay."
