This article seems pretty outrageous, especially from what people have told me about Muslim society.
A guy I used to work with grew up in Jordan. He said during his lifetime he had personally seen several people beheaded for being caught in homosexual acts (as well as a number of other punishments for murder, theft, etc). Someone brings a charge, they find the witnesses, the witnesses testify, then the guy who is the judge makes the sentence. The trial and sentence is carried out all within a week or two, no long-drawn out appeals.
I'll have to take this article with a grain of salt until we can get some more confirmation.

It does seem outrageous, because if true, what is going on is outrageous. The people that come from there no doubt do not brag about these practices, but keep them quiet. Not sure what kind of proof you want, but you might be interested in reading The Sword of the Prophet (Islam history, theology, impact on the world) by Serge Trifkovic. I think you can get it from the Conservative Book Club. He is dispassionate than the writer of this article. In any case, we're entitled to believe or not believe, but I have no doubts about the veracity of this article.

Islamics lie. The madness of this "religion" is infinitely deep.
