Sharia stipulates that homosexuality is punishable by death, and this punishment is still implemented in many Sharia states.
Days ago in Indonesia, two gay men pleaded for mercy as they were caned 77 times each, after neighbors reported them to the Islamic religious police. The Hadith directs harsh punishment against homosexuals:
“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.” (Abu Dawud 4462)
“If a man who is not married is seized committing sodomy, he will be stoned to death.” (Abu Dawud 4462)
“The Prophet cursed effeminate men (those men who are in the similitude (assume the manners of women) and those women who assume the manners of men, and he said, ‘Turn them out of your houses .’ The Prophet turned out such-and-such man, and ‘Umar turned out such-and-such woman.” (Sahih Bukhari 72:774)
As much as denial persists, some Muslims who draw closer to the Sharia (which in Islam is considered to be divine law) become increasingly contemptuous of human rights. Another inconvenient truth is that Sharia’s abusive tenets are left out of every dialogue session in the West. Instead, Islam is presented as a “religion of peace” and “tolerance.”
“Malaysia: Government Steps Up Attacks on LGBT People,” Human Rights Watch, January 25, 2021:
(Bangkok) – The Malaysian government should renounce a cabinet minister’s proposal to increase criminal penalties against lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people, Human Rights Watch said today. The attempt to strengthen criminal penalties against LGBT Malaysians is the latest in a series of moves to cement the anti-LGBT, anti-human rights stance of Prime Minister Muhyididin Yassin’s Perikitan Nasional government.
The proposed amendment to the Syariah Courts (Criminal Jurisdiction) Act (Act 355), submitted by Ahmad Marzuk Shaary, deputy minister for religious affairs in the Prime Minister’s Department, would allow state Sharia (Syariah) courts to establish harsher sentences for same-sex conduct than the current maximum Sharia sentence permitted under federal law. Marzuk also proposed codifying as Sharia criminal offenses changing one’s gender and producing or sharing social media content deemed obscene and indecent, including images of non-normative gender expression.
“Malaysia’s state and federal statutes that criminalize LGBT people are already out of bounds with regard to international law, and the government seems to be sinking even deeper in its disregard for human rights,” said Neela Ghoshal, associate LGBT rights director at Human Rights Watch. “Rather than enhancing penalties for actions that harm no one, the government should repeal such penalties.”
Malaysia’s state Sharia laws, which punish consensual same-sex relations as well as gender nonconformity, are among the many laws and policies in Malaysia that discriminate against LGBT people. Malaysia’s federal penal code covers most criminal acts in the entire country. State Sharia laws, enforced by state Islamic Religious Departments and tried in Sharia courts, are only applicable to Muslims, who make up about 60 percent of Malaysia’s population.
All 13 states and the federal territory criminalize same-sex relations and gender nonconformity. In addition, section 377 of the federal penal code punishes any form of anal or oral sex with up to 20 years in prison and mandatory caning.
Act 355, adopted in 1965 to safeguard Malaysia’s essential secular character, limits the sentences that can be imposed by Sharia courts. Sharia courts could impose maximum sentences of one year in prison and a fine of up to RM 1,000 (US$250). The act was amended in 1984 to increase the maximum sentence that Sharia courts can impose to three years in prison, fines of up to RM 5,000 (US$1,240), and caning of up to six strokes….

Islam and LGBT do NOT mix.
toomanyhobbies says
Yet the LGBT community fully supports them why?
robyt says
Good for them. Who/whatever mix with LGBT is totally cracked and corrupt. I can disagree on the islamic methods on this argument, but not on the principles. Why do we have such “leaders” (whom the main stream media told to be christian) who openly support the LGBT agenda ? That is something to be worried.

Where they are not in power (especially in the West) they promote policies that give extra special privileges to LGBTQ and Muslims at the expense of others, and also policies that support defunding the police. However, where they are in power they enforce discrimination and oppression of LGBTQ and other minorities as well as reinforce their police force to enforce their discrimating and oppressive policies against these minorities. Hypocricy and deceit of the highest order.
OLD GUY says
The liberal left needs to pay attention here. Islam is not friendly to the LGBTQ or WOMEN in general. Question is why would the left support Biden’s open border to muslim countries that support beating and killing members of the LGBTQ and women? If your on the left think about it.
JOEYN says
The Left just like the Islamists couldn’t care less about the rights of LGBTQ. They only use LGBTQ and other minority groups to create divisiveness among the people through intersectionality, all for the sake of destroying Western civilization. In fact those in the LGBTQ group who are not in line with their ideology are treated exactly like those with ‘White Privilege’.
