Sheik Idruss Mahomed:: Death penalty for gays
It is unlikely that there will be a single word about this from gay activists in the U.S. They are too busy trying to revive outrage against the Duck Commander and condemning Russia’s anti-gay laws, which are nothing compared to this, and condemning also AFDI’s ads criticizing the Sharia mistreatment of gays. If their defenders are deemed “right-wing” by the mainstream media, then they’d rather stand with their oppressors.
“‘Kill the gays’ penalty proposed by Malawi Muslim Association,” by Zawadi Chilunga for the Nyasa Times, February 17 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Muslim Association of Malawi (MAM) are calling for homosexual people in the country to be given the death penalty.
This suggestion comes at a time as some Civil Society Organisations (CSO) are pushing for the country to abolish the statute that penalise the act. Currently the maximum jail term sentence for those found guilty by the courts is 14 years.
In what will be viewed as stirring up hatred on the grounds of sexual orientation, MAM Secretary General Dr Salmin Omar Idrussi is advancing that homosexuality should remain criminalised and the maximum sentence should be pegged at death.
“Although Malawi is regarded as a secular state but the country is blessed with God fearing citizens who can’t afford to deviate from God’s commandments for the sake of pleasing others who practice the act,’’ Idrussi is quoted by malawimuslims.com an official website for Malawi Muslims.
‘‘Even animals like goats don’t do this, what more with human beings like us who were blessed with wisdom by the Almighty God? The offenders need to be handed death penalty as a way of making sure that the issue is curbed.”
Idruss argues that capital punishment was the only way to rid society of homosexuality.
He said Muslims condemn sinful behaviour in society and would want death penalty clause in the laws for homosexuality.
Recently, Christian churches called for the government to call for a referendum for Malawians to make a choice on the matter.
Sheikh Idrussi said the plebiscite should be asking people whether they are happy with the current law which attracts a maximum penalty of a 14 year jail term of put death penalty.
UNAids, the Malawi Law Society and Malawian rights groups have asked the High Court to overturn as unconstitutional laws banning same-sex relationships.
They also challenge the convictions of three men jailed in 2011.
The three men convicted in 2011 by a Magistrate’s court in Blantyre are Amon Champyunu, Mathews Bello and Mussa Chiwisi .All are serving long jail term ranging from 10 to 14 years.
But Supreme Court of Appeal has granted Government a stay order stopping proceedings of the matter.
“As long as same-sex relationships are consensual and in private no one has business to get bothered,” law society spokesman Felicia Kilembe said.
In Malawi, homosexuality became contentious in 2009, when two men were arrested and charged with public indecency for getting married in a traditional ceremony. Gay activists want the court to declare the laws criminalising homosexuality unconstitutional.

I commend Mr. Spencer for actually showing the entire bodies of these men, not a “G” rated cropping from the neck down.
By the way, that picture can be saved to anyone’s hard drive with a right click.
It can then be sent via email to gay activist organizations which refuse to acknowledge what Islam’s actual conduct is toward same-sex love.

Gay activist are too focused on hating Christians because they oppose gay marriage to be distracted. Christians are against gay marriage but we don’t want to kill them. Muslims are against gays period and believe they should be killed yet gays defend and protect Muslims! Insanity!

The hypocrisy of Islam is unbeatable!

Will Rachel Maddow, Ellen DeGeneres, Rosie O’ Donnell or Anderson Cooper being saying anything? I won’t be holding my breath.
fair_dinkum says
im baffled as to why gay and womens groups conyinue to ignore this of islam, but will slam other nations for not nearly as severe action (not that any degree of victimisation is appropriate). i think they are like everyone else seems to be: afraid of the backlash, death threats, effigy burning, victimisation action/threats.
in at least some of islam, pedophilia with a boy is halal. being gay is haram.
and the silence from childrens groups is deafening.
Christian A. Beltram says
I wonder if Muhammad was aware of and even quoted Leviticus 20:13 when he was writing the Qu’ran. Like the Qu’ran, the Book of Leviticus calls for death to gays.
Here is a link to the passage that I am citing.

If Jihad Watch readers have any comments about Bible passages like this one which condemns the gay lifestyle, I would like to read them.

It is not Christians who are calling for the murder of gay people.
But gays are in danger wherever there is Islam.
Gary Woods says
Meanwhile, the useful-idiots like Rosie have sided with the islamists and continue to spew the 9/11 conspiracy that it was an inside job because islam=Peace and the 19 hijackers couldn’t have been muslim. Even Anderson Cooper was in a DVD about Gaza and got used for the pro-hamas/Anti-gay agenda to demonize the jews and justify the Palestinian islamic suicide-bombers . The leftist/liberal/progressives and Rainbow flag groups will be the first ones beheaded bythe same islamists they coddle and defend.

Sheikh Idrussi is so hypocrite. He is a born sinner who judges against sinners. I am sure he is a liar, womanizer, gambler, child molester or else.

Muslim Association of Malawi calls for death penalty for gays
………………………………….
Gay people are being arrested and flogged in Nigeria, and threatened with stoning by a Muslim mob upset that they hadn’t been sentenced to death.
The Islamic Republic of Iran hangs gay people. Gays are threatened all over the Muslim world.
It is suicidal madness that gay organizations are not speaking out about this.

This barbarian is declaring his humanity based on the utter savagery of judicially murdering people for a private, non-violent act. This is Islam in action.
Semeru says
Yes, Malawi is a christian majority,
Like in much of Africa, Malawi’s leaders argue that homosexuality is alien to its cultural, traditional and religious values. The Malawi Council of Churches (MCC) and Christian conservatives are at the forefront of the country’s anti-gay sentiments, and Christianity is central to Malawian history and society. The famous Scottish explorer David Livingstone is credited for introducing the religion to Malawi as he paved the way for colonial expansion. By the end of the 1900s, there were several Christian missions across the Lake Nyasa region. Today Malawi is 83 percent Christian and 13 percent Muslim; the remaining 1.9 percent, follow other beliefs, including indigenous religions. Both Islam and Christianity traditionally reject homosexuality.
Malawi identifies itself as a Christian nation and with no religious conflict. Citizens proudly see themselves as ‘peaceful’ and ‘non-violent’. However, these identities are at times at odds with attitudes towards LGBT individuals. Although Malawi has fewer reported violent crimes against the LGBT community than countries like Kenya, Zimbabwe, Uganda, Cameroon, and Nigeria, Malawians typically stop short of violence towards LGBT individuals. Malawi is mostly a socially conservative country that is intolerant to a homosexual lifestyle. Being a homosexual in Malawi comes with a hefty sentence of between 5-14 years in jail, with hard labour. Two Malawian men, Tiwonge Chimbalanga and Steven Monjeza, received this harsh sentence after holding a traditional marriage ceremony as recently as 2010. But the late President Bingu wa Mutharika pardoned them following intense international pressure. Homophobic sentiments in Malawi are due to the dominance of the Christianity.
Homophobic attitudes in Malawi derive from the teachings in the country’s largely conservative Christian churches; therefore, any attempts to redress anti-gay legislation need to involve the church. The dominance of the Christianity and Judeo-Christian conservative values in Malawi makes it difficult to address homosexuality simply as a legal issue. Albeit being an independent, secular state, the Malawian state willingly operates under conservative colonial Christian ideologies: in practice, the state and church are not always separate. Public officials and private citizens often refer to themselves first and foremost as Christian and to the nation as “God fearing”. Religious culture is therefore inextricably intertwined with traditional western Judeo-Christian attitudes towards homosexuality and Malawi’s legal framework.
Arguments against homosexuality are less likely to engage legal obligations of the state and more likely to be presented as Biblical, moral arguments.

Now with Islam calling for death to Gays I am packing my bags! Malawi is a lawless wild frontier…A complete waste of land space on our Earth.

Islamisdeath: there are certain Christian groups, such as the Westboro Baptist Church, who believe that gays should be executed in accordance with certain Old Testament laws. However, such groups are a small minority in Christendom and even in Judaism. Those kinds of extreme views seem to be quite common in Islam at the present time, though.
