Drake - if you want to spell it properly - use Arabic. That's why all the modern maps of China look different from those ones from 50 years ago, we Americans are a bit language impaired (including myself, if it's not in English or Latin - maybe I'll visit Romania).
What's macabre about this is, from my admittedly limited reading on Islam, they were at one point more tolerant about homosexuality. It was considered wrong, but nothing major like being a heretic, adulterer, etc. If you were caught you just had to say I won't do it any more. So either my source a) had it totally wrong, which I doubt b) didn't realize how hideously fractured the world of Islamic intepretation of the Koran is - can you say Fatwah? or c) There's been a change, since I believe my source was forty years old or so, and then I want to see the change.

It's D: They haven't been as religious at the time, most probably.
Please, let's not start all of that "Islam is not a religion of hate" PC crap. it takes a lot more than what Islam has gone though to not call it deeply homophobic. Hell, even with all the pressures of modern society, most christian denominations are homophobic to one degree or another.
