so says a UK Islamic leader. http://www.gaystarnews.com/article/gays-would-be-executed-ideal-world-says-uk-islamic-leader141013 seriously? what is wrong with this guy and do fellow Muslims share his belief? Maybe those with offensive beards should be executed Look, I don't agree one bit with giving special privileges for engaging in the homosexual lifestyle, but to want to execute someone for having sex differently is absolutely nuts. Maybe I prefer blow up dolls, am I next on his hit list? It's high time that society addresses the problem of Muslim extremists and calls them out rather than sitting by idle.
So you aren't a member of the Westboro Baptist Church, I take it. Your assumption that this Muslim cleric is representative of all Muslims is a bit like assuming that Fred Phelps is representative of all Christians. Don't get me wrong, I have little respect for radical Muslims, Sharia Law sucks and so forth, but many Muslims I know would be as upset about this as you are.
He is an anti-homosexual bigot? No Muslims I know feel that way. MOD EDIT>>>RESPONSE TO DELETED POST<<<<
Well I think much of the "I hate the Muslim" crowd is conflicted. They hate Muslims but they agree with this guy. Me- I am against extremists- I think that anyone who makes vile threats like this is a sick bigot and should be denounced, regardless of his faith.
Meh. Right-wing religious fundies are the same everywhere. Christian Pastor: I Believe That the Government Should Use the Death Penalty on Homosexuals [video=youtube_share;q4kO-rxuSfc]http://youtu.be/q4kO-rxuSfc[/video] Kansas pastor calls on government to execute gays "They (the gays) should be put to death. That's what happened in Israel. That's why homosexuality wouldn't have grown in Israel. It tends to limit conversions. It tends to limit people coming out of the closet. 'Oh, so you're saying we should go out and start killing them, no?' I'm saying the government should. They won't but they should. Jim Rudd on Gays: Arrest, Imprison, and Execute Gays in the Name of God? http://atheism.about.com/b/2007/11/...rison-and-execute-gays-in-the-name-of-god.htm Not only should Christian men fight for the safety of their families by demanding that these civil officials repent, or resign from office immediately, Christians should be demanding the strongest laws and punishments against sodomy be put into effect so as to cleanse the pestilence from our society. (Lev. 20:13) Sodomy is an "abomination" (Lev.18:22), and those who engage in sodomy are so vile that their very presence defiles the land (Lev. 18:22,25). Through the administration of Justice, God gives the civil officials the authority to prevent society, the land, from being defiled. The civil officials swing the sword to "...execute wrath upon him that doeth evil" (Rom. 13:4) -- and in this case sodomites -- "...shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them" (Lev. 20:13).
