“‘If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.” — Leviticus 20:13
“And the two who commit [sodomy] among you, dishonor them both. But if they repent and correct themselves, leave them alone. Indeed, Allah is ever Accepting of repentance and Merciful.” — Quran 4:16 (no explicit prescription of death is in the Koran)
Islam Extremism is COMPLETELY different from Christianity. That’s why over 100 people were shot in the name of Allah. That’s why homosexuality is illegal in many predominantly Muslim countries.
Except when one Christian country almost came within a hair’s breath of a “Kill the Gays” bill (Uganda, 84% Christian). Currently, in Uganda, as well as Kenya (82% Christian) and Zambia (87% Christian), it’s punishable by up to 14 years in prison.
Additionally, in Ghana (71% Christian) it’s punishable by 10 years or more in prison, in Cameroon (69% Christian) it punishable by up to 5 years in prison, in Burundi (75% Christian) it’s punishable by up to 2 years, and in Liberia (85% Christian) it’s punishable by up to 1 year.
It’s also illegal in Zimbabwe (84% Christian) and Swaziland (90% Christian).
Similar laws to the “kill the gays” law are being fought for by Christians in Nigeria (which went from 21% Christian to about 50% Christian in the space of about 50 or so years, and already has the death penalty for homosexuality in some of its states) and Russia.
By “missionaries.” As one writer reports:
“In nations such as Uganda, Russia, Nigeria and Belize, an insidious homophobia engineered in America is taking root….
“Lively and other culture warriors rely on their deeds abroad going largely unnoticed back home. When things get hot, as they did during the debate over Uganda’s “kill the gays” bill, they issue statements distancing themselves from the events they have set in motion. But they should be held accountable for the persecution of women and LGBTQ people abroad.
“If we fail to do so, we’ll find that Nigeria, Russia and Uganda are just the beginning.”
What virulent atheist penned those words?
So, except for all that, it’s mainly Muslim extremists.
Thanks for reading.
