Trevor Blake: Muslim Leader Against Sharia Murder of Homosexuals
Thank goodness that a Muslim leader has made a public statement against the murder of homosexuals. His statement is so clear that there is no way it could be taken out of context and turned into something wicked. For all the railing against Islam I do, here is a bit of good news.
Mustafa Muhammad is the President of the Islamic Council of Jamaica. Currently in Jamaica the act of buggery can lead to ten years in prison. Mr. Muhammad has recently gone on record saying that he is against the murder of homosexuals. Mr. Muhammad does note that sharia law does demand the murder of homosexuals. He goes on to say “[homosexuality] is illegal and in the Sharia law the punishment is death. If you follow Christianity it is a crime in the sight of God. He destroyed a whole city because of this thing. It is an ungodly practice and I apologize to no one for this.”
But Mr. Muhammad is against the murder of homosexuals. Why? “This can only be done in a country that is being run by Islam.” And right now Jamaica is not being run by Islam.
Let Muslims and multiculturalists everywhere salute Mr. Muhammad’s tolerance.
