Gay Muslim "leader" Daayiee Abdullah took to YouTube this week to discuss his first gay romance. Born in Detroit to a Southern Baptist family, Abdullah converted to Islam during his studies in China. He adopted the title "Imam" around 2000 after joining a gay Muslim web group: the next generation of Mosque?

How do you pronounce "Daayiee"?
daa3ee. soft d, long a (like the a in actor), the "ain," a letter unique to arabic often signified in latin script by the letter 3 because of its similarity, followed by a long ee sound, like the ee in flee. good luck pronouncing the ain, it's tricky even for some native speakers. you can hear it in the proper pronunciation of names such as "abdullah" or "ali"
WTF!!!!!!!and then they have the audacity to quote Qur'an at the end as if Allah backs this nonsense up? I'm astonished. What happened to the REAL men?
