‘I regard homosexuality in Senegal very much contrary to the faith, the religion and the morals of over 95% of the population’
SOUNDBITES — “I regard homosexuality in Senegal very much contrary to the faith, the religion and the morals of over 95% of the population. This phenomenon (homosexuality) is strongly opposed to in our society. It arouses the most complete condemnation since Islam has quite a strict view on homosexuality. [... It threatens the Senegalese] social order.” —Dakar imam Assane Seck, who is a interpreter of the Qur’an, which he believes calls for the extermination of gays (via)
Somebody needs to tell this guy that Muslims, make up less than 5% of the U.S. population and yet there isn’t a law against them, same with Jews etc… If he wants to go by population as the guiding line of what is acceptable, then Hindoism, Christianity, and Bhuddism all trump his religion so that is just a bullshit comment from him.
God, you got any more earthquakes brewin’?????

Islam is the world’s second largest religion by sheer number, only beaten by Christianity….but Islam is increasing numbers rapidly whereas Christianity is losing them.
Religion is and always has been the biggest problem with this planet, belief in something may be a good “idea” but anything formalized just brings death and destruction. I’m not scared of the “devil” or “hell” I’m scared of the people who believe this nonsense. When people stop believing in this garbage maybe then we’ll see real peace in this world but I’m also not going to hold my breath.

You’re right, about the number, however, Christianity still has nearly double Islams numbers and Hindoism is a very close 3rd. So still, by this guys logic, then the dictates of the majority would still be the overiding law, which is B.S.
we have to believe in God and His Paradise and Hell not believing it is a mistake.
