Halifax's first gay-friendly mosque opening this summer
CBC News Nova Scotia ^ | July 25, 2014 | CBC News

Nova Scotia’s first gay-friendly mosque is set to open in the next few weeks.

The Halifax Unity Mosque is an expansion of the Toronto Unity Mosque, also called el-Tawhid Juma Circle.

The mosque is a “gender-equal, LGBTI/queer-affirming” place for Muslims to worship, according to its Facebook page.

Syed Adnan Hussein has been building support for the Halifax Unity Mosque for a while. He found a space this week and hopes to start worship by next month.

He hopes it will welcome people with a range of sexual identities. Many Muslims live in countries where being gay is a crime. Often, they come to Canada to escape persecution.

Hussein was invited to the Universal Unitarian Church on Halifax's Inglis Street to talk during Pride. “I was really blown away: the community offered us their space whenever we needed it to run our mosque,” he told CBC.

A gay friendly mosque? Really?

I’ll bet that would not fly with the “caliphate.”

Honestly, is there a more sexually maladjusted culture on this entire planet?

I bet there’s a herd of goats grazing in the back yard, ready for service.

No there is not. I've had heated arguments with various Muslims. They are all obsessed with rape. That is the grand prize for them... raping some member of your family. You could kill 5000 in their village, and burn it to the ground, and imprison those you didn't kill.... but if during the battle they raped just one person they were fighting against they would believe they won.

Why do I picture a limp wristed Muslim prancing into a crowd with his bomb vest and yelling, “Allah Acybackybar Honnies! Abdul’s 72 very fashionable boy toys are awaitin’!”?
