A Stitch in Haste

And not in some Third World goat-herder backwater, but in England:

The leading imam in Manchester, England, confirms that he thinks the execution of sexually active gay men is justified, the rights group Outrage reported.

Arshad Misbahi of the Manchester Central Mosque confirmed his views in a conversation to John Casson, a local psychotherapist.
…
“It is part of the central tenets of Islam: that sex outside marriage is forbidden; this is stated in the Koran and the prophet … had stated that these punishments were due to such behaviours.”

Of course, evangelical Christians believe pretty much the same way, for pretty much the same reasons. Go figure.
