Of interest perhaps....
“Gay Muslims” Last week Sir Iqbal Sacranie, Secretary General of the Muslim Council of Britain, said that homosexuality is immoral, harmful and not acceptable in Islam. The police are reported to be investigating Sir Iqbal’s remarks to see if they breach the Public Order Act. Shazia Khan examines the tensions that exist within the Muslim community on the gay issue. Listen to it all from the BBC. This entry was posted on Sunday, January 15, 2006. edit: link via http://titusonenine.classicalanglica...10908#comments I couldn't get the link to the bbc to come over, but if you go to the site and link, it works just fine.

So more evidence that fundamentalists of many religions find it ok to discriminate against gays?

we put the fun in fundamentalism
and in other news, as personal proof that gay people can actually be monogamous, i am now in a relationship (at last ) and it is most certainly entirely monogamous |

Congrat, LCoU, hope you're having fun. What do you think about the civil partnerships thing?

Perhaps we should change the thread title to be more inclusive...
http://www.thestar.com/NASApp/cs/Con...2154&t=TS_Home and, of course, comment: http://www.steynonline.com/index2.cfm?edit_id=35 Enjoy! PS: Nurv, this is Canadian!

personally, i think that civil partnerships are a step in the right direction, albeit a small step, but i don't think i would consider taking that step for myself, at least not for at least a few years
