This is a shoutout to the homosexual Kerry voters from Yusuf al-Qaradawi, Ken Livingstone (mayor of London) tells us he is a moderate and a man of peace and has a unique insight into the virtues of Americans
So a bit of a hint, if you are opposed to homosexuality you are on the same side of the argument as this terrorist supporting "moderate", he does however have doctrinal wiggle-room on how to treat the sinner
This post just shows how religion can realise common humanity, albeit bigoted and violent human traits.
linkYousuf Al-Qaradhawi: Kerry, who ran against Bush, was supported by homosexuals and nudists. But it was Bush who won [the elections], because he is Christian, right-wing, tenacious, and unyielding. In other words, the religious overcame the perverted. So we cannot blame all Americans and Westerners.
But unfortunately, because the Westerners - Americans and others - want to flatter these people on account of the elections, a disaster occurs. In order to succeed and win the elections, he flatters these people, rather than saying to them: No, you are sinning against yourselves, against society, and against humanity. This is forbidden. Instead of leveling with them, people flatter them to win their votes. This is the disaster that has befallen humanity.

Interviewer: How should a homosexual or a lesbian be punished? We mentioned the story of the people of Sodom and how Allah punished them, but how should someone who commits this abomination be punished today?
Yousuf Al-Qaradhawi: The same punishment as any sexual pervert - the same as the fornicator.
[...]
The schools of thought disagree about the punishment. Some say they should be punished like fornicators, and then we distinguish between married and unmarried men, and between married and unmarried women. Some say both should be punished the same way. Some say we should throw them from a high place, like God did with the people of Sodom. Some say we should burn them, and so on. There is disagreement.

The important thing is to treat this act as a crime.
Interviewer: There is an issue that some people may find strange. If homosexuals and lesbians belong to the same category - an inclination towards the same sex - why are there different punishments for men and women, for homosexuals and lesbians?
Yousuf Al-Qaradhawi: A punishment for who?
Interviewer: For homosexuals and lesbians - the punishment for a woman who favors women, and for a man who favors men.
Yousuf Al-Qaradhawi: Lesbianism is not as bad as homosexuality, in practical terms.
So a bit of a hint, if you are opposed to homosexuality you are on the same side of the argument as this terrorist supporting "moderate", he does however have doctrinal wiggle-room on how to treat the sinner
Burn them or throw them from a tall building, very hard to decide on, at least it's not hypocrisy - they hate the sin and the sinner.Interviewer: How should a homosexual or a lesbian be punished?
