Isn't that ever so funny, then that there are people like Afdhere Jama, the founder and editor of Huriyah, a queer Muslim magazine; based in San Francisco?
And what about Faisal Alam - a gay Pakistani American who founded the Al-Fatiha Foundation, an organization dedicated to advancing the cause of gay, lesbian, and transgendered Muslims?
And Parvez Sharma - a gay Muslim film director, living in New York?
And Irshad Manji - a Canadian author, journalist, and a lesbian feminist and critic of Islamic fundamentalism and orthodox interpretations of the Qur'an?
Waheed Alli, aka Baron Alli, of Norbury, London, who at the age of 34 becoming the youngest and the first openly gay peer in Parliament?
Seems rather queer, doesn't it, that they claim Islam doesn't allow gays and there are so many famous ones around?
There are many more, but not quite as famous as these.
