The leading imam in Manchester, confirms that he thinks the execution of sexually active gay men is justified, the rights group Outrage reported.领导伊玛目在曼彻斯特，证实了，他认为执行性活跃的男同性恋者是合理的，该权利团体的愤怒。

Arshad Misbahi of the Manchester Central Mosque confirmed his views in a conversation to John Casson, a local psychotherapist.专家据此misbahi的曼彻斯特中央清真寺证实他的看法，在交谈中，以约翰卡松，当地的精神治疗医师。

Casson said: “I asked him if the execution of gay Muslims in Iran and Iraq was an acceptable punishment in Sharia law, or the result of culture, not religion.卡松说： "我问他是否执行同性恋穆斯林在伊朗和伊拉克是一个可接受的处罚在伊斯兰教法，或因文化，不是宗教。

“He told me that in a true Islamic state, such punishments were part of Islam: If the person had had a trial, at which four witnesses testified that they had seen the actual homosexual acts.” "他告诉我，在一个真正的伊斯兰国家，这种处罚的一部分，伊斯兰教：如该人进行了审讯，这4名证人作证说，他们看到了实际的同性恋行为" 。

“I asked him what would be the British Muslim view? "我问他是什么将成为英国穆斯林的看法如何？ He repeated that in an Islamic state these punishments were justified.他重复说，在一个伊斯兰国家，这些惩罚都是有道理的。 They might result in the deaths of thousands but if this deterred millions from having sex, and spreading disease, then it was worthwhile to protect the wider community.”他们可能会导致死亡，数以千计，但如果这震慑了数百万从发生性行为，并传播疾病，那么它是值得的，以保护更广泛的社区" 。

“I checked again that this was not a matter of tradition, culture or local prejudice. "我检查一遍，这不是单方面的事，传统，文化或地方的偏见。 ‘No,’ he said, ‘It is part of the central tenets of Islam: that sex outside marriage is forbidden; this is stated in the Koran and the prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had stated that these punishments were due to such behaviours.’” '不， '他说， '这是党的中央伊斯兰的信条：婚外性行为是被禁止的，这是在可兰经和先知（和平与赐福予他）曾表示，这些处罚的原因是这样的行为" 。

Gay man rights campaigner Peter Tatchell said, “It is disturbing that some British imams are endorsing the execution of gay and lesbian Muslims.同性恋男子权利运动彼得tatchell说： "这是令人不安的是，一些英国伊玛目赞同执行同性恋者穆斯林。

“Imam Arshad Misbahi’s homophobic attitudes give comfort and succor to queer-bashers. "伊玛目专家据此misbahi的同性恋的态度给予安慰和救济，以酷儿-责难。 They encourage conflict and disharmony between Manchester’s large gay and Muslim communities.他们鼓励冲突和不协调的曼彻斯特的大型同性恋和穆斯林社区。

“Muslim and gay people know the pain of prejudice and discrimination. "穆斯林和同性恋人知道疼痛的偏见和歧视。 We should be working together to challenge homophobia and Islamophobia.我们应该共同致力于挑战同性恋和伊斯兰恐惧症。 I hope liberal Muslims will speak out in defense of the human rights of lesbians and gay men,” said Tatchell.我希望自由的穆斯林会说出来捍卫人权的女同志和男同志说： " tatchell 。

Adnan Ali, founder of the British branch of al-Fatiha, an organisation for gay and lesbian Muslims, told Gay.com that “a person with such an obsession about execution of human beings is not even entitled to be addressed as Imam.”阿德南阿里的创始人之一，英国分行的基地fatiha ，任何组织，为同性恋者穆斯林，告诉gay.com说： "一个人有了这样的痴迷约处决人的是，甚至无权处理的伊玛目" 。

“Islam is a very tolerant religion and celebrates the human diversity in its core message,” Ali said. "伊斯兰教是一个非常宽容的宗教和庆祝人类多样性，在它的核心讯息， "阿里说。

“The holy book Qur’an does not mention anywhere about the execution or killing of human beings on the basis of their sexuality. "圣书古兰经没有提到任何有关处决或杀害的人在此基础上他们的性生活。 What surprises is this obsession of the Islamic clerics to killing and execution.什么惊奇的是，这痴迷的伊斯兰神职人员，以杀人和处决。 Why?为什么呢？ What about dialogue?如何对话？ Discussion?讨论？

“Arshad Misbahi’s comparison of same-sex relation to adultery is nothing but ignorant and utterly irresponsible rhetoric, manifesting the wrong teachings of Islam. "专家据此misbahi的比较同一性别的关系，以通奸罪，不过是无知，完全是不负责任的言论，充分反映了错误的伊斯兰教教义。 The media should .各新闻单位要。 . 。 . 。 not take it for granted as the general view of the Muslim community all over.”不能认为理所当然，因为一般人认为的穆斯林社区都" 。

What’s almost as disturbing as the Sheikh’s comments is Peter Tatchell’s strong adherence to the leftist party line that both gays and Muslims are oppressed.什么的，几乎令人不安，因为谢赫的评论是彼得tatchell的强烈坚持左派党的路线方针政策都同性恋和穆斯林受到压迫。 Can Tatchell not get his head out of the sand long enough to know that comments like this are going to continue and that future gay bashing will likely be headed by religious Muslims?可以tatchell得不到他的头部出来的沙子足够长，知道的评论一样，这将会继续下去，将来的同性恋扑头可能会为首的宗教团体穆斯林？ If gays think religious Christians have given them a battle, they’ve not seen anything yet.如果同性恋人认为宗教教徒，使他们的战斗中，他们就没有看到任何地方都厉害。
