A Muslim spokesman has called for death for homosexuals on New Zealand television. Responding to protests, the dhimmis at the television network said that "the programme was a religious address by a mullah concerning issues raised by the Koran. The television company acknowledged some of the comments could be viewed as 'rather extreme' but it had 'reason to believe' the comments were a genuinely held belief of followers of Islam."
"Rather extreme," eh? It's useful to remember that contrary to a good deal of overheated rhetoric claiming otherwise, the Christian "Religious Right" in America does not call for death for homosexuals. This is a uniquely Islamic phenomenon, which of course we will be seeing much more of in the West in the years to come.
Also, note that the station has to broadcast an apology. But what about the imam? From Stuff.co.nz, with thanks to Twostellas:
A television channel has been ordered to broadcast an apology for comments on air by a visiting Muslim lecturer who advocated death for homosexuals.Speaking on Triangle Television's Voice of Islam, Brother Abdullah Hakim Quick said Aids was caused by homosexual practices, that homosexuals were dropping dead from Aids and wanted "to take us all down with them". They were "sick" and "not natural".
In the programme, broadcast last September, Mr Quick said the Islamic position on homosexuality was death.
"Muslims are going to have to take a stand (against homosexuals) and it's not enough to call names."
The Broadcasting Standards Authority called the comments "hate speech" and has told Triangle it must broadcast a full retraction, an apology from the programme's producer and an explanation of why the complaint was upheld.
When the company received the complaint it maintained broadcasting standards were not breached. But chief executive Jim Blackman on Saturday accepted the ruling.
"We originally felt that the speaker was entitled to have his say, but we now fully accept the Broadcasting Standards Authority ruling."
Triangle Television has operated as a non-profit public broadcaster in Greater Auckland since August 1998 and developed a solid following with a mix of access, public broadcast and ethnic programming. It has just announced plans to launch in Wellington.
The complaint was laid by Doug Clayton, who said the comments were "a hateful and bitter diatribe against homosexuals".
Triangle responded by saying the programme was a religious address by a mullah concerning issues raised by the Koran.
The television company acknowledged some of the comments could be viewed as "rather extreme" but it had "reason to believe" the comments were a genuinely held belief of followers of Islam.
One Muslim leader last night backed the complaint.
An executive member of the Council of Christians and Muslims, Ashraf Anwar, said Islam condemned homosexuality, as did Christianity and Judaism.
"But no one person has the right to dictate and particularly in the name of Islam."
There are about 30,000 Muslims in New Zealand.
"No one has the right to dictate and particularly in the name of Islam." Why would he advocate death for homosexuals if he didn't believe that there was a call for this speech. This is just a smokescreen for what they are thinking, knowing that their speech would be criticized.
Somebody really ought to tell this guy that homosexuality and lesbianism is the norm in Saudi Arabia. http://www.tnr.com/doc.mhtml?pt=F4bD483qZPViqE1CyQTDkh==. Had a Christian said that homosexuality is unnatural, he would have been yanked off the air and forced to apologise. Where Christianity says hate the sin, but love the sinner, Islam says kill the sinner. Yet, the multiculturalists accept Islam's slightest pronouncements and reject Christianity. That is the way of the Cross. We will not have it any other way. We few. We happy few. We band of brothers.
Homosexuality was and is widely practised in Islamic countries. To please the homosexuals among his followers, Mohammad promised them pre-pubescent boys in Paradise. So after committing plunder, loot, rape and murder in this life, the followers of Islam get "rewarded" by untouched virginal youths who are fresh like pearls.
The relevant verses from the Koran are:
Koran 52:24
Round about them will serve, to them, boys (handsome) as pearls well-guarded.
Koran 56:17
Round about them will serve boys of perpetual freshness.
Koran 76:19
And round about them will serve boys of perpetual freshness: if thou seest them, thou wouldst think them scattered pearls.
Famous poets in Arabia glorified homosexuality. As an example I am including a poem in 'Perfumed Garden' by Abu Nuwas:
O the joy of sodomy!
So now be sodomites, you Arabs.
Turn not away from it--
therein is wondrous pleasure.
Take some coy lad with kiss-curls
twisting on his temple
and ride as he stands like some gazelle
standing to her mate.
A lad whom all can see girt with sword
and belt not like your whore who has
to go veiled.
Make for smooth-faced boys and do your
very best to mount them, for women are
the mounts of the devils
So, that particular Cleric was out of context when he said that.
maybe he should write a retraction? LoL
Yes, but at least he isn't going for a constitutional amendment like Bush.

There's a wicked Jihadist here, read these quotes I picked up: "The termites are in charge now, and that is not the way it ought to be, and the time has come for a godly fumigation."
I'm confused as to whether I should laugh or be disgusted with the next quote, apparently Mr. Jihadist wants to kill UFO believers: "then you shall bring out to your gates that man or woman who has committed that wicked thing, and stone to death that man or woman with stones."
He equalized UFO watchers with Demon Worshippers, this is from the same speech: "Can a demon appear as a slanty-eyed, funny-looking creature? Of course he can, or it can. Of course they can deceive people."
We can all agree that these are the words of a Radical Jihadist.
