Gay.com: Profile: The Gay Muslims.
A Muslim blogger replies to the article above by saying:
Not many Imams “preach the death of gays”, because they don’t tend to talk on the issue at all. But ask any scholar, and almost certainly he’ll explain that homosexual acts are forbidden, and that Islamic law stipulates a punishment - according to the majority, it is death - for those proven guilty of the worst of these acts (sodomy), in the context of a state governed by that law and after due process.
A few might be less than clear on the detailed stipulations, and still fewer might be quite blunt and uncompassionate about the matter - but the opinion that homosexual sodomy is a capital crime in Islamic society is not a “fanatical” one, and those who explain this law should not be considered “fanatics” or condemned for “outrageous and dangerous expression of homophobia”.
It's quite simple really: Islam says to kill homosexuals. Ergo, killing homosexuals can't possibly be outrageous.
Do read the entire post to see just how nonchalantly this lovely fellow affirms the correctness of murdering gays.

Sick, sick, sick. I was debating whether or not this would warrant a post and decided it didn't, but it's appropriate news for a comment here.
Last week a gay couple I know well were verbally attacked to the point that they felt terrified by their cabbie in New York City. One man just gave the other a simple kiss on the cheek, but it made the North African muslim driver realize that they were a gay couple, and this immigrant driver began screaming at then, calling them all sorts of derogatory terms, the whole "filth in my cab" line, almost getting violent.
They got him to stop the car, got out and immediately called the authorities. The sick thing that's the real kicker to this though is not just that a gay couple got screamed at and terrified by their muslim cabbie, but that one of the men happens to be from Iran and well aware of what would happen to him in his native country. Now he gets it from another muslim immigrant in the country that is supposed to be a refuge from that particular danger, at least.
Anon--a pre-emptive "honor killing" perhaps? I could see that...
