Interesting find; but I'm surprised. A Koran-quoting, "gay and lesbian" Islamic website?

This is a crucial point, so let’s dwell on it a little. It is crucial for us queer people, lesbians, transgendered folk and gays, to root our spirituality in an appreciation and care for the body...
That, my dear friends, is a way to live at peace with integrity—may we help each other to find it, because nobody finds it alone. That is the way to live as a muslim. That is nothing more and nothing less than islam. "

Probably more like the Kahlil Gibran brand, rather than Abdul Wahhab school. (Gibran's "The Prophet" was popular among the sandal and incense crowd back in the '60s.)

From what I understand (not having read the book), it's more of a gushy, mysticism, "luv an' peace, man" variant, "islam" in name only (compared to the hardcases ruining the world today).
