Malaysia: 51 men arrested for ‘gay party’
A hadith depicts Muhammad specifying the punishment for homosexual activity: “The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, ‘Whoever you find doing the action of the people of Loot, execute the one who does it and the one to whom it is done.’” (Sunan Abu Dawud 4462)
And so if these men aren’t executed, they will have gotten off lightly. Malaysia, after all, does have a reputation for being “moderate.”
There are many Christians and others in the West who disapprove of homosexual activity and regard it as immoral. They do not, however, generally call for imprisonment or execution of the offenders. Those punishments are part of Sharia’s reign of terror: virtue is brought about by making everyone too frightened not to be virtuous.

Malaysian authorities detained 51 men in a series of raids on Sunday in connection with what police described as a drug-fueled “gay party” held at a Kuala Lumpur hotel.
Homosexuality is criminalized in Muslim-majority Malaysia, which operates a dual-track legal system with Islamic laws for Muslims running alongside civil laws. Sodomy is a crime, while sharia laws are also in place that ban same-sex acts and cross-dressing.
Police arrested the men – aged between 21 and 52, and including 28 foreigners – in four separate raids, narcotics investigations department director Hussein Omar Khan said in a statement late Monday.
Authorities also seized about 103,070 ringgit ($26,021) worth of illicit drugs, including MDMA, ecstasy pills and powder, and ketamine, he said.
“This group was found to be using rooms in upscale hotels for entertainment, drug abuse, and is believed to be involved in immoral activities,” he said, adding that the case was being investigated under the Dangerous Drugs Act….
