Imam accused of 'gay death' slur

It's good to see that the Imam at Manchester Central Mosque is keen to stop the spread of disease. But is bumping off poofs really the way to achieve it?

A gay rights campaigner has accused an Imam of saying the execution of gay Muslims to stop the spread of disease is "for the common good of man".

Dr John Casson visited Arshad Misbahi, the Imam at Manchester Central Mosque, to discuss concerns over the execution of homosexual Muslims in Iran...

Massoud Shadjareh, from the Islamic Human Rights Commission, (sic) said this was not an issue for Muslims.
He said homosexuality was "not compatible" with Islam, just as it was not compatible with other orthodox religions, such as Catholicism.

He added: "Just one man talking to another becomes an issue, Muslims are being put under a magnifying glass.
"I think that this is part of demonising Muslims," he said.

When the Vatican starts hanging gay teenagers in St Peter's Square I might start taking Mr Shadjareh's comments seriously.
