Gay is OK", says Iman
Women lead prayers, homosexuals are accepted and same-sex marriages allowed: In the US, a group of liberal Muslims have more and more followers. One of their leaders is an openly gay imam.
He is patient. It just takes time for everything. Daayiee Abdullah sits in front of a still locked house on a small stone bench, waiting. Behind the seat, a ladder is leaning against the wall, which leads to a window frame a few feet above. There, a painter is painting with white paint, directly above him. Abdullah does not care. He is clothed in a long black robe, the prayer cap on his head, preferring to simply sit. It takes an hour for someone finally to come with the key. Now we can start.

In every major religion, there’s always a faction that interpret their Holy Book differently from the “mainstream”. Some are more strict, others are more liberal. The media loves to treat the liberals as if they’re the right one while the mainstreams are wrong.
First, homosexuality is an abomination in the eyes of Allah and is punished severely (death usually) in many fundamentalist Muslim societies.
Second, Muslim Madrases are the happy hunting grounds for pedophile Imams who use these young boys and men for their sexual pleasures.
Third, mix this with the strong misogyny practiced in Islam. Now you have an unstable and dysfunctional society where suicide bombing is seen as a release from the torments of the “Religion of Peace”.
I would welcome the liberalization of Islam - it would improve women’s rights there and would give Jihadis a target they consider decadent in their own midst instead of blowing up Buddhists, Hindus, Christians and Jews.
I saw a picture of an Imam kissing a boy floating around FR. The justification that sex between two men is unacceptable, but a man using a boy is somehow OK because he isn’t a man.
What is the flag or logo the front man is praying on?
That's the word I was thinking of; To lie to the enemy to deceive them as to your true intent, up to and including to pretend to be one of them until the time for the over whelming sneak attack arrives.
Do they support homosexual polygamy?
Excellent point.
