Liberal conundrum: Kenya’s Muslim leaders want to execute gays

Strip the burqa off to expose the true face of Islam and it ain’t pretty. But it does make for an amusing situation when liberals find out that the radical Muslims they are so quick to defend want to execute one of liberalism’s core constituencies.

Times Live has the deadly details:

Muslim leaders in Kenya have called on the government to introduce the death penalty for homosexuals and to boycott their businesses, media reports said Monday.

“Death is the only punishment prescribed by Islam for such people as done in China and Iran,” the Daily Nation quoted Sheikh Mohammed Khalifa, of the Council of Imams and Preachers of Kenya, as saying.

“We are asking Kenyans to shun businesses owned by such people and further show them open discrimination as a way of stopping the beastly act,” he told reporters at an anti-homosexual workshop.

And if they don’t stop “the beastly act,” we assume that they will be stoned to death, an act of supreme kindness.

Another participant at the work shop, Sheikh Majid Obeid also blamed Kenya’s recent drought on “illicit activities.”

“The rising cost of living and drought are due to the behaviour of these Kenyans who are not ready to change,” he said.

As difficult as it will be for liberals to choose between their radical Muslim constituency and their gay constituency, we assume they’ll go with the gays because the radical Muslims made the mistake of endorsing the death penalty.

Ten demerits for the radical Muslims.

  • Liberals ally themselves with Islam because of their shared history of antipathy towards all things Christian. Some liberals' hatred of Christianity is so vehement that they might throw the homosexuals under the bus before they would the Muslims.

  • Can we have a bunch of them shipped to San Francisco? I bet Nancy will welcome them with open arms!!

  • It doesn't look to me like 'swish' is in in Nairobi right now! Maybe he can go to the American Consulate and apply for a student visa and go to San Fransicko...dressed like that, he'd fit right in!

    • Look, between watching Benny Hill & Monty Python, the photo in this story does'nt faze me. I saw way too many guys in drag to be outraged.

      But hisham, I will say that what the guy in the photo is wearing is sort of an everyday sort of look in Frisco, but for the big events, a quality pair of assless chaps or in order.

  • Liberals won't have to deal with this issue for years. They'll just pretend it doesn't exist and the media will continue to ignore it. Problem solved.

  • Wow that boy is fa.bu.lous!

    Work it boy! Work it!

    Okay I am going to be serious because obviously it is horrible. I have said it many times that liberals turn a blind eye to these "incovenient truths" about their underdogs.

    • One person doesn't want the boy to work it. :-D

      I am not going to hate the boy is working it. I hope he knows that he can't work it in Iran though.

    • More like blah.bu.lousth!

      Thsothse thsoes don't match histh turbin or glathses AT ALL!

      He thsould be sthoned to deasth for sthat at the very leastht! Jesusth Christh!

  • What the real hypocrisy is, is that in most African/Mohammadan countries, casual buggery is quite common between men (and boys) who would not consider themselves gay. I used to work on cargo ships going all up and down the coasts of Africa, and I'd hate to tell ya some of the things we knew were going on down in the holds when the native longshoremen were unloading cargo.

    • You should write a book about it. Maybe call it "Dreams of my Cousins" or "The Audacity of Grope".
