Quote:
A man who handed out a leaflet calling for homosexuals to be executed has said he was just doing his "duty as a Muslim".
Kabir Ahmed, 28, is one of five Muslim men on trial for stirring up hatred on the grounds of sexual orientation at Derby Crown Court.
The leaflet, named The Death Penalty?, was one of three distributed in Derby ahead of a gay pride event in 2010.
He said: "My intention was to do my duty as a Muslim, to inform people of God's word and to give the message on what God says about homosexuality.
"My duty is not just to better myself but to try and better the society I live in.
"We believe we can't just stand by and watch somebody commit a sin. We must try and advise them to stay away from sin."

Seems everyone is anti gay lately. the connection is that they're all religious. the irony is that they're persecuting people, and don't like it when they're being persecuted themselves.
