When a Muslim woman called up this radio host, he probably didnā€™t expect to be told he deserves to die for being gay.

But what happened next stunned him.

LBCā€™s Iain Dale took a call from the woman, Zainab, a 22-year-old, who said gay people were an ā€œabominationā€.

She asked: ā€œWhy do you think thereā€™s paedophiles out there? Both of them are disgusting acts?ā€

Dale said Zainab had been brainwashed into holding ā€œdisgusting viewsā€.

Going on, however, it got worse. The caller said gay people deserve to die for their sexual orientations.

ā€œMy 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 Londonā€™s 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.

ā€œThroughout my entire life, I believe that because I had these feelings, I was someone evilā€¦I was demonic.

ā€œI prayed every day, I begged Allah to turn me straight,ā€ he said.
