Homosexuality and Islam -- not a good fit

All the queers [LGBTs, please! Ed.] in the world -- OK, maybe not the whole world -- are gathered in Toronto this weekend for the annual Pride (formerly Gay Pride) parade. According to Agent 3, the traffic leaving the Little Apple yesterday was horrendous -- normal people getting out of Dodge.

A report in today's Toronto Star tells us there is another event taking place this weekend in Sodom-by-the-Lake. "Journey of Faith" is a major Islamic conference intended to teach people "how to respect one another and live in peace". So says the leader of the conference, Toronto imam Saed Rageah.

The Star says one of the featured speakers will be Bilal Philips, a "charismatic Jamaican-Canadian religious scholar who embraced Islam in 1972 in Toronto, where he was raised. In a Thursday interview, Philips cheerfully advocated death as a punishment for males who 'confess' to homosexual behaviour, or are seen performing homosexual acts by four reliable witnesses, in countries governed by Islamic law.

"Lesbians should only get lashes, he said. In secular countries like Canada, he said, even gays should not be punished. But the word of the Qur’an must be followed in Islamic countries, he said, and the Qur’an says gays must be killed.

"'In a country that has subscribed to secular rule — in Canada — that’s how it is. I accept that. But if you ask me what would the situation be within an Islamic state, or Islamic government, then it would not be permitted, and the punishment is applied, yes,' he said.

"In the interview, he also confirmed that he believes homosexuality is 'evil', like pedophilia and bestiality, and that God gave gays AIDS to penalize them for their deviancy."

So there you have the Muslim view of sexual deviation. Those, especially in "the LGBT community", who are pushing for "religious tolerance" might want to think about what the coming Islamization of the West will hold for them.
