Executing homosexuals in accordance with Shari'a law

According to majority interpretations of Islamic shari'a law, homosexuality is indeed punishable by death; this has been clearly stated by well-known and highly influential Sunni Muslim authorities, sheikhs, professors, and Muslim Brotherhood leaders. These have included leading Sunni authority and head of the International Union of Muslim Scholars Sheikh Yousuf Al-Qaradhawi; highly influential Kuwaiti Islamic preacher and Muslim Brotherhood leader Tareq Al-Suweidan; Saudi cleric and Islamic University professor 'Abd Al-Qader Shiba Al-Hamad; and many others.

In a May 19, 2013 address in Norway, Fahad Qureshi, founder of the Norwegian Islam Net Organization, which has chapters in Oslo and four other cities, stated that it was not just radical Islamists who support the death penalty for homosexuals, and that this belief is commonly held by average Muslims as well.

In February 2010, controversy erupted over comments by Dr. Awadh Binhazim, who was at the time an adjunct associate professor in pathology and Muslim chaplain at Vanderbilt University.[1] Asked during a Q&A session with students whether he accepted the Islamic teaching that homosexuality was punishable by death, Binhazim grudgingly admitted, "I don’t have a choice as a Muslim to accept or reject teachings. I go with what Islam teaches." Asked point blank by a student whether under Islamic law homosexuality is punishable by death, he replied, "Yes."

An Urdu-language Pakistani Islamist newspaper, Roznama Ummat, wrote an editorial stating

At the time of the {Orlando} attack, about 300 homosexuals were present at the night club. There are several aspects of the details that have emerged regarding the attack on the Orlando club: First, this attack was not carried out on innocent people; rather, people engaged in extremely immoral activities were targeted. Such [homosexual] people had mocked the Prophet Lut, and as a result, God had rained stones on them from the sky. In this context, it was inevitable for punishment of some form or another to descend on the depravity spread in American society.

Homosexuality is a curse in any society.... On this basis, it is more correct to describe the attack as God's punishment rather than the result of Omar Mateen's terrorism and hate.

I believe Mosaic law proscribes death for homosexual acts also.

How many countries currently have laws against homosexuals for merely being homosexual?

what is the political power of those countries?

Enough said.

I think you might be right Lyndon...Unless the Old Testament in English has wrongly interpreted the old laws. Fortunately , I don't know of any Jews who actually enforce such laws.

And what their evidences that the homosexuals should be punished by death.

No law in the quran ordering to kill the homosexuals.

No law in the quran ordering to kill the homosexuals.

That is good to Know FearGod. Thanks for sharing that. Do you know where groups like Isis (for example) get their justification for such things?

We don't agree with all the deeds of the ISIS, they even kill innocent children among others walking the streets.

The Torah and Bible condem homosexuals to death if they commit a sexual act.

Why the hypocrisy. Why not state that the Torah says so but instead you contaminate our holy book and divine laws with your reading and typing.

The basis of the prohibition against homosexual acts derives from two biblical verses in Leviticus: “Do not lie with a male as one lies with a woman; it is an abhorrence” (Leviticus 18:22) and “If a man lies with a male as one lies with a woman, the two of them have done an abhorrent thing; they shall be put to death—their bloodguilt is upon them” (Leviticus 20:13). The Torah considers a homosexual act between two men to be an abhorrent thing (to’evah), punishable by death—a strong prohibition.

Yes, the Muslim defenders will be quick to point to those verses in the bible as a way to deflect. But no country, except Islamic countries have active death penalties for homosexuals and actually carries them out in accordance with their religious laws.

The laws are in the holy book, which verse in the quran that says homosexuals should be killed,
scholars can say what they wish, but I'm asking for the evidence from the holy book, the quran..

Do you have a reliable evidence other than the views of the scholars?

Ah, so when you get cornered and have your own crap thrown at your face you move the goal post.

Your OP wasn't about where it is practiced, just that Islam teaches it. And your apartheid beliefs teach the same. Here is a list of verses;

"If anyone insults his father or his mother, he shall be put to death; he has insulted his father and his mother—his bloodguilt is upon him.
If a man commits adultery with a married woman, committing adultery with another man’s wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall be put to death.
If a man lies with his father’s wife, it is the nakedness of his father that he has uncovered; the two shall be put to death—their bloodguilt is upon them.
If a man lies with his daughter-in-law, both of them shall be put to death; they have committed incest—their bloodguilt is upon them.
If a man marries a woman and her mother, it is depravity; both he and they shall be put to the fire, that there be no depravity among you."
Leviticus 20:9-14

No. I've never read the book that these Islamic authorities are basing their judgements on. Are you saying that all these Islamic authorities are wrong? Do you believe that Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and ISIS don't execute homosexuals? Or if they do, do you believe that they are wrong to do so?

No. My OP showed Islamic countries that carry out practices that THEY say are based on the Koran.

And your apartheid beliefs teach the same. Here is a list of verses;

"If anyone insults his father or his mother, he shall be put to death; he has insulted his father and his mother—his bloodguilt is upon him.

Leviticus 20:9-14

Which non-Islamic counties are executing adulterers?
Which non-Islamic countries are executing people that participate in incest?

 

[FearGod]

No. I've never read the book that these Islamic authorities are basing their judgements on. Are you saying that all these Islamic authorities are wrong? Do you believe that Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and ISIS don't execute homosexuals? Or if they do, do you believe that they are wrong to do so?

I'm asking if Islam has a law that says homosexuals should be killed? i ain't asking which countries
or which scholars think so.

So again the problem is Muslim fundamentalism?

 

[FearGod]

The quran is very explicit about it, no one allowed to kill any person except if a murderer.
