Erdgton Amy Birmgham has provoked outrage amongst Mlim staff, pupils and parents by vg a “gay Mlim” who said the Quran do not prohib same-sex relatns to addrs pupils aged 11-13.

Parents have told 5Pillars that Ash, who said he was a Bengali Mlim om Birmgham, announced that he was a Mlim and gay and said he had read the Quran and hadhs and is “ok to be gay.

The prentatn clud imag of two men kissg and other imag and ptns promotg homosexualy, which, if acted upon, is nsired a major s by a nsens of Islamic scholars. “Basilly, a guy was ved knowg full well that he was gay and Mlim and that he was gog to make a speech to majory Mlim kids and Mlim staff, and he has misquoted the Quran to say that ’s allowed to be gay and that the Quran says ’s ok. There is a profound difference between someone g and sayg ‘the are my experienc, ’ and someone g who has no expertise on Islamic theology and sayg ‘there is nothg wrong wh beg gay and Mlim or that there is nothg the Quran which preclus the typ of relatnships.

As a Mlim, we are brought up beg told “homosexualy is haram” (forbidn). This level of mass hysteria, toxic shamg of teachers, LGBTQ activists and mpaigners remds me of Sectn 28 – a clse brought at the time by a Conservative ernment which “banned the promotn of homosexualy schools as went agast the tradnal moral valu of a Christian fay and state”. The other part to this is my inty as a gay man.
The homophobia is apparent, wh some of even receivg ath threats onle, which have been reported to the var agenci. I’m also aware that wh Eid jt around the rner, when we are supposed to be celebratg the theme of togetherns and happs, we are all beg monised and vilified, whether ’s homophobia or Islamophobia.
“While we unrstand the tratns of the CEMB wh regard to the perceived stance of mastream Mlims on homosexualy, Imaan feels that the banners that the group marched wh serve only to epen divisns between muni.

Imaan is dismayed wh the homophobia and Islamophobia on display when London’s LBC Rad host Ia Dale and a ller argued about Islam and homosexualy. The Qur’an do not ll for the ath penalty for homosexuals.
In fact, a growg number of Mlim lears and scholars dispute the terpretatn of the Qur’anic story of the Prophet Lut as a blanket nmnatn of homosexualy. Contrary to what Zaab might claim, the scholars are not lbian, gay, bisexual, transgenr, queer or tersex (LGBTQI) and they are ed practisg Mlims.
