Muhsin Hendricks, world’s ‘first openly gay imam’, shot dead in South Africa
The Guardian ^ | 2/15/25 | Guardian staff and agencies

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.

In children’s literature, if you just believe in something hard enough then you can make it come true. This is magical thinking. It’s also not adult thinking. Most people who survive into adulthood don’t do things a logical adult believes will get them killed. But you have these biologically mature humans running around with signs reading things like, “Queers for Palestine.” When you see something like that, you’re looking at someone who failed too emotionally and culturally mature. They are mentally less than seven-year-olds on the maturity scale. I’m reminded of the cute white girl who decided to hitchhike across Iraq to prove people were actually kind and accepting. This is precisely the kind of behavior you’d see in movies and TV made for small children where lions are cute companions and probably vegan. If you pay attention, you see this level of emotional and intellectual immaturity in most liberals.

Cannot help but remember the “Queers for Palestine” marches...

I believe she found out that nearly all of the people she met were kind and accepting, with, I guess, one exception.
