Homosexuality in Islam

Homosexuality in Islam s strictly prohibited. No compensation is allowed in this matter. History bears proof of the fact that nations have been destroyed because they indulged in homosexual behavior. A prominent example being of the :people of Lot" who were demolished by the wrath of Allah All Mighty. Homosexuality is forbidden in most of the Islamic states and is considered a hideous crime. The punishments dictated in Islam for such behavior are severe. Some critics are of the viewpoint that to some point homosexuality is permissible in Islam but that remains a minority. There are several refrences in Quran and Hadith against the practice of homosexuality for example it was narrated that Ibn Abbaas said: "The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: 'Whoever you find doing the deed of the people of Loot, kill the one who does it and the one to whom it is done." (source: Wikipedia).
