Muhsin Hendricks, considered the world’s “first openly gay imam”, has been shot dead near the southern city of Gqeberha, South African police have said.
The imam, who ran a mosque intended as a safe haven for gay and other marginalised Muslims, was in a car with another person on Saturday when a vehicle stopped in front of them and blocked their exit, police said.
“Two unknown suspects with covered faces got out of the vehicle and started firing multiple shots at the vehicle,” the Eastern Cape force said in a statement.
“Thereafter they fled the scene, and the driver noticed that Hendricks, who was seated at the back of the vehicle was shot and killed.”
A police spokesperson confirmed to AFP the authenticity of a video on social media that purported to show a targeted killing in Bethelsdorp near Gqeberha, formerly known as Port Elizabeth.
“The motive for the murder is unknown and forms part of the ongoing investigation,” police said, urging anybody with information to come forward.
The International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association denounced the killing.
“The ILGA World family is in deep shock at the news of the murder of Muhsin Hendricks, and calls on authorities to thoroughly investigate what we fear may be a hate crime,” the executive director, Julia Ehrt, said in a statement.

I didn’t see that coming...

It might seem that Muhsin didn't read the chapter and verse of the Quran condemning homosexuality and subsequent punishment.
The International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association denounced the killing.
To display their righteous anger, the ILGBTI should hold numerous pride marches, replete with San Francisco displays
of nudity, oral and anal sex, and flamboyant attire. The Islamic community just needs to be educated.
Was he in a Lesbaru?

72 virgins for him. But what can he do with them?
—
First of all, no one said they were female.
Second, the 72 virgins is a mistranslation of the Syraic for white raisins which were very valuable in some places in 700AD.
What? They didn’t push him off a tall building?
They don’t like reality, so they invent their own.
But sooner than later reality gets its revenge. Always does.
“Hendricks” just doesn’t sound right for the name of an imam.
I hope the US State Dept. does NOT condemn this.
Thumbs up.
