The Qur’an contains numerous condemnations of homosexual activity: “And [We had sent] Lot when he said to his people, ‘Do you commit such immorality as no one has preceded you with from among the worlds? Indeed, you approach men with desire, instead of women. Rather, you are a transgressing people.’…And We rained upon them a rain [of stones]. Then see how was the end of the criminals.” (Qur’an 7:80-84)
Muhammad specifies the punishment for this in a hadith: “The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, ‘Whoever you find doing the action of the people of Loot, execute the one who does it and the one to whom it is done.’” (Sunan Abu Dawud 4462)
“Rights defenders angered by ‘kill the gays’ penalty proposed by Malawi Muslim Association,” by Elijah Phimbi, Nyasa Times, September 9, 2017 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Fresh remarks from the Muslim Association of Malawi (MAM) spokesperson Sheikh Dinala Chabulika s calling for gay people to be condemned to have strongly attracted anger and condemnation both from local and international human rights defenders .
Sheikh Chabulika was quoted in an article published by one of the fortnight published newspaper ‘Mkwaso’ dated 1st-14th September 2017.
In the article, Chabulika stated that homosexuality is not only against the Islamic teachings and religion but also an abomination and therefore emphasized that those practiving it be executed.
He further emphasized that as the Muslim Community, they will never change their stand on the matter that homosexuals need to be handed death penalty as a way of making sure that the issue is curbed..
Chabulika was also responding to the call by Malawi government through the Malawi Human Rights Commission (MHRC) on the need to conduct a survey to sort views of Malawians on Homosexuality practice which is under the LGBTI (Lesbians, Gays, Transgender and Intersex) blacket.
The Sheikh said the Inquiry is ‘unnecessary’.
In response to Chabulika’s calls, Malawi Network of Religious Leaders Living with or Personally Affected with HIV and Aids (MANERELA) Human Rights Activist Allie Mwachande described the sentiments as a ‘big shame’.
“This is a very big shame! If they say homosexuals be killed is he [Chabulika] himself ready to kill? Because if he is ready then he tell us when and where he will do that” said sounding angry Mwachande when he called Nyasa Times.
He added: “As a human rights campaigner, I meet different people and I know some of the Muslims who are within the LGBTI Community. Some are even from Mangochi where him and I all come from…will he be happy to see his brothers and sister killed?”.
Mwachande further reminded Sheikh Chabulika as a man of Allah to always preach love inorder to serve the souls of the so called ‘worst sinners’.
“As a Sheikh, he should always preach about love without looking at the sexual orientation, tribe, colour, cultural beliefs etc. Jesus and Mohammed both preached about love and the Bible and Quaran [sic] still tells us to love one another” explained Mwachande….
The Qur’an doesn’t actually say that. Nor did Muhammad.

The Malawi Muslim Association has made a FURTHER laughing stock of MUSLIMS from Malawi.
Malawi has a national average IQ of (can you guess?) … of 69. That’s right… 31 points lower than the world average. The result comes from Richard Lynn, a British Professor of Psychology, and Tatu Vanhanen, a Finnish Professor of Political Science, who conducted IQ studies in more than 80 countries.
The Malawi Muslim Association has PROVED the study by Lynn and Vanhanen is ACCURATE.
mortimer says
Mwachande has his very own copy of the Koran. He explained “Jesus and Mohammed both preached about love and the Bible and Quaran [sic] still tells us to love one another”
No, Mr. Mwachande, Jesus said, “LOVE YOUR ENEMIES”.
Mohammed/Allah said, “But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war); but if they repent, and establish regular prayers and practise regular charity, then open the way for them.”

All true.
Ren says
Death penalty for all muslims that preach death penalty!
PATRICIA FRANCES KOENIG says
It is paradoxical that homosexuality has historically been at high rates in Islamic dominant countries, such as “Bacha Bozzi” (Boy Play) in Afghanistan and frequent homosexual activity in Muslim nations. They must be using gayness as another excuse for violence.
gravenimage says
There is no paradox here. Islam is fine with homosexual rape and pedophilia–what they hate is any consensual same sex between adults.
Westman says
Imagine what will happen if the Muslim Association of Malawi gets its hands on the Stanford AI program that claims to identify gays.

Malawi Muslim Association proposes death penalty for gays
…………………..
Bloody barbarians. This should not surprise, though.
abad says
Where is George Takei when you need him?
Oh that’s right didn’t he say we should be welcoming and accepting of Moslems because they are “marginalized” like gays are?
FYI says
Of course they do.
Muslims believe they are free to break all of God’s Official and Original Commandments just because their allah says so in his koran.
They believe they are entitled to be judge,jury and executioner in regards to anyone they decide they don’t like.
Yet only God Himself has the right to judge.
“Holy men” who murder gay people (or adulterers etc)will themselves be Judged and condemned,not by their man-made Sharia Law but by God’s Laws which clearly prohibits murder.
If any “holy man” of any religion tells you that they are permitted to stone someone to death just for being gay etc..then they are liars and since they are in violation of God’s Sixth Commandment,they will be judged as murderers.
God’s Laws,His official Commandments, are ABOVE anything written in the koran.
They are the essence of the Bible and God expects them to be obeyed in their original unequivocated form.
God did not say “Thou shalt not kill.Discuss” or “Thou shalt not kill…except gay people,apostate muslims,Jews etc”.
He said “Thou shalt not kill”.Period.

This documentary needs to be shared as fast and widely as possible. https://youtu.be/t_Qpy0mXg8Y
Tom says
Newly developed facial recognition software that claims to be able to identify traits in people who are gay that are not discernable to the human eye. If muslim majority countries get hold of this, there will be a genocide, of not only gay men and women, but anyone that the muslim regime says are gay, such as Christians, Jews, Hindus etc, and also anyone opposing their control.
The intent is clear in Islam and all they need are the tools and the opportunity.
paul says
A muslim card trumps a gay card… Likely they could get away with that in Minneapolis now
