Orlando Highlights Islam's Complicated Relationship With Homosexuality

Islam's approach to homosexuality has been in the spotlight since the massacre at an Orlando gay club — criminal or compassionate? Prejudiced or progressive?

While ISIS death squads enforce an extreme version of Islam that punishes gays with death, the religion's history is far more nuanced. And like most relationships, when it comes to Islam and homosexuality — it's complicated.

The death penalty is imposed in at least 10 countries: Afghanistan — where the Orlando shooter's father was from — Brunei, Iran, Mauritania, Saudi Arabia, parts of Somalia, Sudan, United Arab Emirates and Yemen.

Let’s not mix things up. Islam is against everything.

“Complicated relationship?” ROTFL! Well...okay. Those clowns in the national “media” are a disgrace. They all need to be sued for journalistic malpractice.

Complicated? “Death” isn’t complicated.

That not all adhere to plain tenets doesn’t make it complicated, it raises the question of how much deviancy constitutes apostasy.

Liberals are nuanced about Islam.

Muslims hate gays and put them to death.

Nothing complicated to understand about their attitude.

The Muslim World isn’t being on LGBT.

It is complicated in that they rape little boys and adult male foreigners.

No complicated, just insane.

Kill and torture homosexuals, while buggering little boys, sexually maiming little girls (and probably anally assaulting small to medium sized defenseless animals).

I guess that sums it up. ROP. Brutal tendency for misogyny a plus.

More muslim hypocrisy.

Remember the factual reports of the 9/11 terrorists boozing it up in the girly bars in Florida?

And the entire world knows that muslim men have a proclivity for sex with tender young children - with little boys as much or more than with little girls.

LOL even in reporting it they try to find ways to call Muslims compassionate..Yep they are quite compassionate when they throw homos off of buildings and burn them alive in cages..imagine the response from this same media if instead of Allah Akbar they would scream “Praise Jesus” the reaction would be totally different

The death penalty is imposed in at least 10 countries . . .

To these lunatics, that is "nuanced." Opposing gay marriage and coed potties over here, however, is criminally offensive.

Complicated? The see them, they kill them, not complicated at all. I the same way the left is not complicated. They see them, they deny they exist.

Nothing complicated about it at all.

Islam requires that all homosexuals die.
