South Africa: Muslim gays labeled traitors

The Inner Circle, a Muslim gay rights organisation, is dismayed after declaration by the Ulema body of the Muslim Judicial Council (MJC) that any Muslim who believes that homosexuality is acceptable is regarded by the Muslim community as apostate.
This was said at an emergency meeting with full assembly of the MJC on 22 November last year, where the Ulema body said the decision was based on the Shariah Law and the Muslim way of life throughout the ages taught by all Holy prophets, and it is in the Holy Scriptures.
