Gay Nigerians face Sharia death

[surria]

Eighteen men have been remanded in prison following their arrest for alleged sodomy in northern Nigeria, the state-owned news agency, Nan, reports.
The men were arrested in a hotel in north-eastern Bauchi State, which is governed by the Islamic Sharia law.

The Sharia punishment for sodomy is death by stoning.

The men, reportedly wearing women's clothes, are said to have gone to Bauchi town from neighbouring states to celebrate a "gay wedding".

Sharia judge Malam Tanimu ordered that the 18 be remanded in prison after they were arraigned before him on Wednesday.

Prosecuting police officer Tadius Boboi said the men's actions had contravened Sharia law, adopted in Bauchi and a dozen other states in Muslim northern Nigeria in 2000.

Here is a selection of comments we received about the story:

Davies Udokwu in Lagos, Nigeria wrote: Sharia is the Law in Northern Nigeria so the penalty for homosexuality, which is death, should be meted out on them without fear or favour. Sodomy is an act of insanity which even animals cannot do. The West should stop making an issue out of this and try to change their system to support good morals.

James in California wrote: This is simply another example of a repressive belief system that uses fear, domination, and hatred to control its believers and to impose horrific repression on others. Why does the UN tolerate such violence against gay people or those who are thought to be gay?

Matsiko David wrote: Campaigners of same sex marriage are not different from those cited in Sodom and Gomorrah.

Joseph Lengmang in Plateau, Nigeria, wrote: What I really don't understand is whether such a punitive yet barbaric measure is permissible by the constitution of the federal republic of Nigeria. And if this is not the case, then i think it would amount to a gross abuse of naked force by the champions of shariah law in Northern Nigeria.

John in Rotterdam, Holland, said: It is very sad, to see things like this happen in Nigeria. People getting killed for being a GAY, shame to our so called leaders and also shame to the British. It is all their fault in the first place for making us ONE NIGERIA.

Kenny, a Nigerian in Malaysia said: It is a taboo and it should remain a taboo. They should be killed by hanging. A country can have its own law. I am a christian and i support the sharia law in doing it.

Muslim States of Nigeria Stoning Gay faggots

[Padishah]

Cross dressing and attending gay 'marriages' are not part of the Hudood. They cannot possibly face capital punishment for these things. Only the act of male on male copulation witnessed by four upstanding Muslims can be punished with death.

This is a misapplication of the law and could bite the ass of all the prosecution involved.

Maasha'Allah I'm proud of the fellow Muslim Nigerians; good news indeed put me a smile on my face.

They shall face the same punishment as those of Nigeria.

I never understand why some people who claimed to be straight yet at the same time tend to be gay apologist?
