Muslim leaders have demanded the same legal exemptions as the Church of England in legislation to introduce gay marriages.
The Muslim Council of Britain (MCB), with more than 500 affiliated mosques, charities and schools, said it was "appalled" by "utterly discriminatory" legislation on same-sex marriage set out by the government.
The proposals would allow faith groups to conduct gay marriages but would ban the CofE and the Church in Wales from doing so.
The MCB secretary-general, Farooq Murad, said his organisation had strongly opposed gay marriage alongside other religions and was seeking an urgent meeting with culture secretary, Maria Miller, to express the concerns of many Muslims over the proposals. "No one in their right mind should accept such a discriminatory law," he said. "It should be amended to give exactly the same exemption to all the religions."

I wonder when European homosexuals will discover their mortal enemy...
I believe that should read “was a pedophile” as Mo is unlikely to be still be alive today.
Of course Muslims are free to not marry someone of the same gender so exactly what are they asking to be exempted from?
You forgot that is Common place for male muslims to RAPE captives and little boys.
I wonder how that request would be dealt with in Saudi Arabia, Iram, or Pakistan?
So the gays appall muslims?
Interesting...
The grievously sad thing is that it is only the Moslems who are standing against the gay marriage thing in the UK.
Now the question is how long it will take before it becomes a common practice in this country? Dancing boys of DC.
Rediculous, you say? About as rediculous as same sex “marriage”.
That is not true. The Catholic Church and the Church of England have both taken a strong stand against the gay marriage bill — and they have been granted an exception.

I don’t know what to say about that. The DNC tolerated Barney Frank.
Well if you think about it they don’t need “marriage” to be queer they have been in the closet for centuries.
Taqiyaa(deception) is mostly done their perceived threats & by infidels/kuffers. Apparently, muslims r not to deceive each other & of course thats an islamic lie. lol
Exactly. The entire so-called religion is a lie based on lies and pedophilia.
When their heads roll.
I came across this on a blog- it really NAILS the Administrations blatant double standard:
No Homosexuals at Obama’s Ramadan : Why Not?
Obama is the FIRST President to actively denigrate Christians and Christianity while simultaneously bowing down to Muslims and Sharia law.
Were there any GAY couples invited to the official Obama White House Ramadan meal?
Why not?
Obama made a great show of having many homosexuals at his Easter egg roll rubbing Christians’ noses in what he called a “teachable moment” against “the forces of homophobia and hate.”
Easter is Christianitys major holy day. Why did he not mock and insult Muslims in the same way?
Why did Obama not shove a teachable moment into the faces of Muslims?
Earlier this year, Obama forced Christians to watch in dismay as he hijacked the Christian holiday of Easter to endorse homosexual child rearing, and he used Ramadan to endorse the construction of a massive mosque on the site of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. He clearly hates Christianity and embraces Islam, as well as homosexuality. It’s only unclear which one he prefers, or fears, more. It seems to be Islam since he didn’t include any gays, lesbians, transgenders, transexuals, cross-dressers, or pre-ops at his Ramadan celebration.
This is a deadly double standard by a man who refused to attend the National Day of Prayer breakfast, refused to attend the Boy Scouts of America (because of their policy of protecting boys from potential “gay” predators) and wants to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act. He and his wife Michele attended Jeremiah Wright’s hate-filled “church” that promoted overt racism and black liberation theology for years. This is Obama’s sole connection with what the media think is legitimate Christianity.
Why is the media as silent about Obama’s purposeful neglect of the gay, lesbians and transgender community” when it comes to his Muslim holiday celebration as they are about that fact that the California city of Bell’s entire corruption scandal was 100% Democrat?
