Yes, Carl, the method of execution is for the Shari'a judge to decide. And the judge in the case of Mahmoud Asgari and Ayaz Marhoni decided that hanging the two teenagers (ages 18 and 16-17, respectively) was the appropriate method of execution.

Iranian law does indeed provide that homosexuals be hung in the street. Not all homosexuals, as per your gossamer-thin, hairsplitting criterion, but hanging in the street is indeed provided for.

What's your next challenge, Carl? That no one can prove any homosexual was ever burnt at the stake during the Inquisition because not all homosexuals were burnt at the stake?
