Default Gay Men to Be Executed Under Sharia Law in Nigeria
http://www.pinknews.co.uk/news/articles/2005-6878.html
Quote:
The trial of eighteen young men in Nigeria charged with dressing in female clothing and attending a gay wedding may be part of a campaign to reintroduce legislation targeting lesbian, gay and bisexual people.
Cary Alan Johnson of the Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission (IGLHRC) was in Nigeria last week to meet the men and their lawyers.
He has expressed serious doubts as to whether the men can get a fair trial.
All aged between 18 and 21, they were detained by the Islamic "vice squad" at a hotel in Bauchi city, Nigeria in August 2007.


Bauchi is a Muslim state in the centre of Nigeria, with a population of 316,000.


Sharia law is enforced in the state and if found guilty of sodomy the men could be executed.


They instead face charges of criminal conspiracy, membership of an unlawful society, indecent acts, and "vagabondage", which relates to the allegation they were dressed in female attire.
Be careful boys. Wear a kilt in the wrong company, and you could be in big trouble.

I never realized that there was a strong Islamic presence in Nigeria. What impact do you believe the rise of Islam in these African nations has had on relations with these countries?

That's very unfortunate.

And quite disgusting.

They knew the law of the land and they broke it.

Now they are criminals and have to be punished for their crimes.

Some laws are meant to be broken when they are unjust laws.

They are totally just and moral laws, and need to be enforced.

I'd be glad to break them then. Even though I am not a gay man. I'm sure there is some other ridiculous one I could break.

Prove to me that they are moral or just laws.

Well, that's his moral compass.

You can't really prove your moral compass.

One of their "crimes" was wearing women's clothing. Under Sharia law, that is a chargeable offense.

So, anytime you want, BR, I'll loan you my pumps and thigh high stockings.
