Ever wonder about how Sharya Law handles homosexuality? Wonder no more...

Cross Flame :: View topic - 6,000 years under one definition - the pros and cons of tradition: In reading these statistics, it is important to keep in mind that the existence of legal consequences for homosexuality does not necessarily result in perpetrators being prosecuted. In Afghanistan, for instance, there is a widespread tradition of male homosexuality. Estimates of the number of Afghan men who engage in sex with teenage boys or other men at some time in their lives range from 18-50%. This unusually high frequency is quite surprising since Islamic law in Afghanistan mandates that homosexuality be punished by being burned at the stake, pushed off of a cliff, or crushed under a toppled wall. In February 1998, three homosexual men were executed in the city of Kandahar by having a tank push a brick wall over on them.
