Alternattiva Demokratika Żgħażagħ has expressed its disapproval of Imam Mohamed El Sadi's views on his "explicit" homophobia and his justifying physical violence on people who commit a criminal offence.
ADŻ spokesman Dirk Urpani said: "While we are all out for freedom of speech, it is highly irresponsible for a religious leader to promote anti-social policies."
Though he was referring to non-European countries, certain rights were universal and acts such as cutting off hands of people convicted of theft should be condemned by anyone living in a democratic country, he added.
Mr El Sadi's homophobic references were equally disgusting and he should apologise to the gay community, especially for ridiculing same-sex marriages or unions by comparing them to "marrying a cat or a dog", AD said.

Hi,
ReplyDeletewhere are labour's LGBT section statements?
ohh right. Nowhere.
This goes to show that Labour's rhetoric fizzles down to nothing.
In fact I like to ask a general question about human identity. Between sexuality and political affiliation - should a person consider himself gay first and labour first or the other way round? Well there's no doubt Albert Gauci Cunningham considers himself labour first....
