One Muslim told this gay radio host he should die – another responded amazingly
When a Muslim woman called up this radio host, he probably didnāt expect to be told he deserves to die for being gay.
But what happened next stunned him.
LBCās Iain Dale took a call from the woman, Zainab, a 22-year-old, who said gay people were an āabominationā.
She asked: āWhy do you think thereās paedophiles out there? Both of them are disgusting acts?ā
Dale said Zainab had been brainwashed into holding ādisgusting viewsā.
Going on, however, it got worse. The caller said gay people deserve to die for their sexual orientations.
āMy religion is very clear what happens to gay peopleā¦the punishment is the death penalty.ā
But what happened next left Dale speechless.
Sohail, one of a group of Muslims who have erected a stall outside Londonās Whitechapel tube station, to spread the word of acceptance of gay people in Islam.
He said Zainab was misguided but that he had previously prayed to be turned straight.
āThroughout my entire life, I believe that because I had these feelings, I was someone evilā¦I was demonic.
āI prayed every day, I begged Allah to turn me straight,ā he said.
