U.K.: Muslim arrested for distributing literature calling for hanging of gay people says he was just doing his duty to inform about Islamic law
The literature apparently gets some of its material from Minhaj al-Muslim, reminding one again of the comment-box apologists we've encountered who have insisted they've never heard of this book and we must have picked it out of the clear blue sky to tar Islam's reputation.
Then this guy must be a total Islamophobe. Or an Islamohomophobe. Or a Homoislamophobe? "'I was doing my duty as a Muslim,' says father who handed out leaflets saying gay people should be hanged," by Lucy Buckland for the Daily Mail, January 16 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
A father has told a court he was only doing his duty as a Muslim by handing out leaflets calling for gay people to be executed. Kabir Ahmed, 28, said he handed a leaflet called Death Penalty? to a policeman and stuffed them through letterboxes across Derby because he was spreading the word of God as taught by Islam. He said: 'My intention was to do my duty as a Muslim, to inform people of God’s word and to give the message on what God says about homosexuality.' Married Ahmed, who has a nine-month-old daughter, is on trial with four other men at Derby Crown Court charged with inciting hatred on the grounds of sexual orientation, the first prosecution of its kind since legislation came into force in March 2010. At the opening of the trial last week jurors were shown the Death Penalty? leaflet, which shows an image of a mannequin hanging from a noose and says that homosexuality is punishable by the death penalty under Islam. He said it.
The leaflet states: 'The death sentence is the only way this immoral crime can be erased from corrupting society and act as a deterrent for any other ill person who is remotely inclined in this bent way.' It goes on: 'The only dispute amongst the classical authorities was the method employed in carrying out the penal code,' and then goes on to offer burning, being flung from a high point such as a mountain or building, or being stoned to death as suitable methods. There it is: "Gay people should be thrown head first off high buildings and if not killed on hitting the ground, they should be then stoned to death." - Minhaj al-Muslim (The Way of the Muslim)
Giving evidence today Ahmed, wearing a pair of grey trousers and a black shirt, said he had handed one of the Death Penalty? leaflets to PC Stephen Gregory on July 2 2010 as he was passing by the area of the Jamia Mosque in Rosehill Street following Friday prayers. He told the court he felt it was his duty as a Muslim to inform and advise people wherever they may be committing sins, he would be failing if he did not. [...] Calling for anyone to be put to death is quite different from expressing disapproval of any kind of behavior.
Prosecutor Bobbie Cheema told the court the Death Penalty? leaflet was not educational or informative but was simply 'threatening, offensive, frightening and nasty.'
It’s a death cult.
Do as I say not as I do

What to do when one protected minority goes up against another? I guess the minority status value of homosexuals is currently higher than the value of Muslims.
On the other hand, if the Muslim had called for the hanging of Christians or a black had called for the hanging of whites, no charges would have been filed.
I bet the Peeceenistas are spinning out of control on this one. Which group is more favored?
(No; just a practicing Islamist').
And yet, Christians are excoriated for saying that homosexual ACTS are a sin, just like adultery and fornication, and that we are to love the sinner but not the sin itself.
Take a look at REAL “homophobia”, people.
Why are muslims always given a pass for stuff like this?
UK - knew it couldn’t be here that this happened.
Here, the liberals would look the other way for a Muslim.
“Gay rights”, after all, is supposed to be used to criminalize CHRISTIANITY, not Islam.
Look at the big picture, the Cosmic Battle, Christ vs everything else. Even if leftist/liberals don't consciously acknowledge it, and look like they're "hypocritical" for not calling Muslims on their "homophobia", deep down, they understand that their true enemy is Christ and His followers.
With this visceral understanding, they give the Muslims a "pass" because they're on the same side in the BIG battle.
Both Islam and Homosexuality are both death cults in their own way. The fact that they are fundamentally at odds is interesting. Actually, Islam is opposed to Homosexuals; not sure the reverse is true. Ultimately, Homosexuality is one of the forces clearing the way for the supremacy of Islam.
So gays think they can be islam´s pals, eh?
Decisions, decisions.
Who will the leftist statists pander to now??? The Butt-bangers or the Head-loppers????
Sometimes being a liberal idiot isn’t easy!!
The Islamic religion is made up of nuts. The religion of peace is neither.
Ah...Excellent analysis!
We battle NOT against “Flesh and Blood” enemies.
Ruh-Roh.
They stepped in it now.
LOL!
It does not matter. Individual gays are just cannon fodder. Cultural marxism is being implemented from the top down.
The real objective of the Left is to bring down Western society. "Concern" for gays, women, blacks, etc, is just a way to advance the real agenda: socialism. They are "concerned" or not depending on what's good for the real agenda.
Put another way: "The issue is never the issue. The issue is always the Revolution."
Absolutely!
The Vicious Left has no shame in exploiting those who perceive themselves as being “Oppressed”, while amongst themselves, they sneer at the very people for whom they claim to be “Advocating”.
