Think Islam and shariah law teach equality and peace for homnosexuals?
Watch the video and read the article. There is nothing equal, peaceful
or just in Islam, or the Koran. Homosexuality is something that deserves
death. While Christianity calls this a sin, it also call us to pray for those who
are homosexuals, not kill them. Still think Islam is a peaceful 'religion'?

Vanderbilt University is distancing itself from a Muslim chaplain after he told a gathering of students homosexuality is punishable by death under Islam.
"I don't have a choice as a Muslim to accept or reject teachings. I go with what Islam teaches," said Awadh A.

He told WND it was a "30-minute, roses and butterflies overview of Islam."
Saucier said in a blog he wondered about the "unholy alliance between Muslims and leftists – how could the latter, who fervently support multiculturalism, gay marriage, and gender equality, ally with the former, who support religious and cultural supremacy, traditional marriage, and the oppression of women?"
