Abstract
The question of homosexuality has been an on-going debate in the last couple of decades, with each religion, ethnic group, and culture expressing their own opinions on the matter. Like the Bible in Christianity, the Qu'ran in Islam can be vague and is interpreted differently depending on the interpreter and the point they hope to prove. However, weighing the evidence of the passages in the Qu'ran and in the Hadith, homosexuality is not accepted in the muslim community. Punishment for homosexuality differs in various muslim countries, from fines to possible execution, and most recently, the production of the movie The Kite Runner, has caused controversy in Afghanistan. Organizations such as Al-Fatiha have been established to help Muslims who are lesbian, gay, homosexual, or just searching for answers that they will not find in society or culture.
