Allah condemns homosexuality explicitly in the Qur’an: “Do you approach the males of humanity, leaving the wives Allah has created for you? Nay, You are a people who transgress.” (26:165-166) It is the sin of the people of Lut and its Arabic word is lutiyya. Liwat is the word for sodomy, under which heading the topic of homosexuality is found in the books of fiqh. Under shari`a both the (same-sex) sodomizer and sodomized are passible of death. The laws of other religions were similar until not so long ago. The Companions considered it so abhorrent that they subjected the culprits to burning, an extreme punishment not meted out for any other offense.

Your first post was wrong.

And this post is even more so.

First: The discussion is about being friend and in social perspective. Religion was brought by few here hence it was discussed.

You brought religion too but in wrong way.

Islamic view on this act is condemnation no doubt.

What is said in Islam or those who interpret is that, the act if it is done hidden way will make the people answerable to Allah only.

And if the act is suggested or (rarely if ever) done in public then there is no real difference between homosexual or heterosexuals.

Regardless, there is no such thing that people need to go on and punish homosexuals extremely for being homosexuals or somehow they are different from heterosexuals committing crime.
