Homosexuality - punishable by death?

This shouldn't even be a question in the modern world. I'm sick of people using religion as an excuse for hate.

This is a step in the right direction for Muslims to show that they are indeed tolerant, understanding and that their religion is not all about hate as un-overtly espoused by the Bush regime. Good on ya Norwegian Islamic Council for showing the world that Muslims are not as they have been portrayed.

I'm tired of this bullshit of allowing Muslims to have a fucking autonomous area of law because of their religion. -Fuck that-.

Your religion does NOT get to be an excuse for you to receive special treatment under the law. Any SANE country would say "fuck you and your medieval values, if your utterly absurd religious beliefs conflict with our fair secular laws, you can toss yourself off a bridge."

The U.S. may be fucked up, but it's time like this that I am glad to live here.

everybody in norway, beware of mala krekar,he will soon be at a mosque near you,and trying to convince you to commit honor killings too,so muslims beware of what is heading your way.

It is simply stunning that a debate over whether or not homosexuality should be considered a capital offense can be considered rational.

when i first saw the headline , i thought to myself, what are those southern baptists up to again?

Islam: is there anything it can't hate?™

There is only one openly muslim in Norway??? And is the Fatwa Coucil able to override Norway's law??

one openly muslim openly lesbian person, who has made herself known.

there could be a coven in oslo just going about their daily business...

"And is the Fatwa Council able to Override Norway's law?? "

No absolutely not. the fatwa are just a bunch of muslim scholars (a very vague term) who try interpret the Koran and pass judgement accordingly.

Basically the Muslim council in Norway wants the offcial line on what to say about homsexuality.

If they are getting it from a "holy" book, chances are it won't turn out very much in favour of the well dressed.

Do they think this will stop it?

What happened to freedom and civilisation?

I think the gays should start taking power and say they want to kill straight people. But that wouldnt happen, because gays have hearts and brains :)

They should not be allowed to dictate that someone should be sent to death because they do not follow extreme ideals. Also i'm pretty sure that the Muslim religion did not originate in Norway ! It just should not be allowed to go on, abide by Norwegian law in Norway... No ?

I've always thought that Norway was an open and accepting society. I can't believe that the general population doesn't just tell the muslum Islamic council to go to hell. And if they want to stay in Norway, they can abide by Norway's laws.

This is ridiculous, it would be condemned by the EU and if in the Future, Norway would like to become part of EU, it would never make it.

Islam law in Europe, that is all that was missing.

Is it up to us as people to decide whether someone lives or dies? Studies have been made to find out where the gay gene comes from and until the a full understanding has come to light, we as people should learn to change our own perspectives rather than the other way around.

This is obviously not about that, eventually Muslims will then ask for further laws to be incorporated. 8 years later, is "Norway Ali".

Em I'm sure no one in norway has particularly heard of this or cares, they are a fringe of a fringe group....

They are like vegans...who cares what they think.

Go religion!

wooahh. man. This is sick. Freedom of religion is OK though right? man. I don't know what to say.

Even if they say "yup, kill em all", they still have to follow local laws... but they can then be assholes to homosexuals and kick them out of their mosques... Basically, a spiritual death.

I'm disgusted that this is even in question. Death penalty for a person being themselves. If their religion doesn't agree with homosexuality then thats on them but from that to go on to considering the death penalty is outrageous.

there are obviously people in this world who think that being gay is a moral depravity; however, the mere consideration of homosexuality warranting the death penalty is beyond insane.

I hate it when people think being gay is a "choice" and by preventing others from getting married denies them their basic right to pursue happiness and by saying they are to be punished via death will start a new holocaust.

Enjoyment of Cereal - Punishable by Death?

Ok. I thought about it. Lets make all things that anyone else doesn't agree with illegal and punishable by...what you said(I can't type something that bizarre, sorry)..Will this satisfy you? Most likely, not. Well, I tried.
