Iran International TV has reported that Muqtada al-Sadr and Hadi al-Amari condemned the raising of the LGBTQ+ flag by the EU Delegation to Iraq, calling the LGBTQ+ community “psychotic patients”.
Sadr and Amari are the leaders of Iraq’s two largest political parties. They also called on Iraqi embassies and consulates in Britain, Canada and Europe to raise Islamic flags in response to the LGBTQ+ flag being raised in Baghdad.
