From the Moderate Muslim Nation Of Indonesia
"Homosexuality is an abuse of Human Rights", top Muslim body says
Indonesia's top Islamic body said Friday homosexuality is an abuse of human rights and demanded the government ban an ongoing gay and lesbian film festival. (yes, you have read correctly...).
It also condemned foreign cultural centres for showing the films at private screenings, three days after angry Muslims held protests outside the venues.
"We reject the screening of the films which contain gay and homosexual lives as they are against Islamic and Indonesian cultural values," Indonesia Ulema Council (MUI) chairman Ma'ruf Amin said.
"The foreign representatives including the German and French cultural centres must show their respect for our sovereignty. They should not bring their culture which goes against our local values," he said.
Members of the hardline Islamic Defenders Front — some wearing masks, white robes and turbans — chanted anti-gay slogans and said the movies were blasphemous.
So the Ulema Council is as "hardline" (in this matter at least) as the Islamic Defender Front.

Hi Guys.
Like i said before"Great country to spend your Youth".
Pastorius,
That has got to be one of the dumbest statements of all time. Homosexuality is an abuse of human rights? What right is he talking about? Our right not to be offended by something we don't like, I guess. Come to think of it, do any of these so called "holy men" have any idea of the term "human rights" means? Maybe not.
Damien,
Yep, I agree.
Will,
LOL.
Well put.
Damien: They consider that you only have the Human Rights stated by Sharia Law, as you're only an slave of Allah. So, for them it's an abuse of Human Rights because Allah doesn't let you being an homosexual.
Or well, something like that...
Yes, it's a dumbest statement. But you know? No one has cared.
