if you talk about need. nobody really needs to do anything the religion sais. alot of us don’t. but if its in the religion it is in the religion from quran to hadiths from scholars who have studied these topics for so long. it cannot be deneied. i gave evidence to back up my claims. u did not. and u also agreed with me as one of the definitons of condemn is To pronounce judgment against.

Very well.

There is no consensus among different schools of thoughts here.

At least Hanafi school does not say any physical punishment is needed.

Others treat them just like zina or Adultry.

The need for witness however is common. And no you are not correct in making sweeping statement that “they should be eliminated”.

There are ways which should most likely be carried out is trying to reform them and give them chance to amend their behavior.

Islam and Homosexuality

**Treatment of homosexuals within Islam: **
According to a pamphlet produced by Al-Fatiha, there is a consensus among Islamic scholars that all humans are naturally heterosexual.

Homosexuality is seen by scholars to be a sinful and perverted deviation from the norm. All Islamic schools of thought and jurisprudence consider gay acts to be unlawful.

They differ in terms of penalty:

The Hanafite school (currently seen mainly in South and Eastern Asia) teaches that no physical punishment is warranted.

The Hanabalites, (widely followed in the Arab world) teach that severe punishment is warranted.

The Sha’fi school of thought (also seen in the Arab world) requires a minimum of 4 adult male witnesses before a person can be found guilty of a homosexual act.
