Oct 15, 2007Quickie Link: Mufti Wants Gays Abandoned on Islands
By vanrozenheim
(Uganda) - The Mufti, Sheikh Ramathan Shaban Mubajje wants Gays marooned on an island in Lake Victoria until they die. Sheikh Mubajje told journalists on Friday at Old Kampala Mosque that he sold his proposal to President Yoweri Museveni when they met last week at Hotel Africana. "I asked President Museveni to get us an island on Lake Victoria and we take these homosexuals and they die out there," Sheikh Mubajje said during a press briefing after Idd el Fitr prayers. "If they [Gays] die there then we shall have no more homosexuals in the country." The Mufti's statement correlates with recent plans by the Muslim Tabliq youth to form what they called an 'Anti-Gay Squad to fight homosexuality in the country.
