"Some believe the imam and go on 'puffter bashing' expeditions, some don't."
How about those who don't believe the Imam is correct, because he is not ?
Here's a story from an Australian source about a pufter Imam.

It means nothing to me what method any imam may advocate for the punishment of homosexuality. I don't care if he tells his followers the koran wants them beaten to death with a chrysanthymum!
Can't find stoning in the koran? Tell me, WHO PRACTICES STONING? Buddhists? LOL!
I used this example purely to show that what the imam tells the congregation is written in the koran IS AGAINST OUR LAWS! We do not KILL HOMOSEXUALS. (And when we do, it's called MURDER.)
Just as it is against our laws to PREACH THAT APOSTATES MUST BE KILLED.
Now, please try to recall, 'twas not I who persuaded the various German States to challenge the 200 un-Constitutional 'verses' in the koran...I am simply interested in the OUTCOME.
Terrifies you, evidently. Oh, and btw, let me be pre-emptive here, if the defence is to be what the aplication of the same laws might do to the OT, forget it. We can get along quite well without the residual Code of Hammurabi laws in the OT. Managed to live without that barbarity for quite some time, thank you.
