America's first gay Imam goes public with his reasons why...

Is this really possible? A gay Imam in USA? whos is even allowed to boast openly about it...! Com'on, it is no doubt to everyone that the United State of America is the land of all possibilities, but there is a big BUT here. To the best of my knowledge, the Quran forbids homosexuality. Infact, the traditional belief in Judaism, Christianity and Islam is that God forbids homosexuality, and this translates itself into the same-sex marriages as well. 

According to Linda Ikeji's blog, Imam Daayiee Abdulah originally was born and raised in Detroit as a  Christian of the Baptist faith.  But somehow while in China for further studies, he got himself converted to Islam .

So what motivated the new Islamic Daayiee Abdulah to become an Iman? the spiritual gap that existed in the Islamic faith for the lesbians, gays & transsexuals was the drive, all in the hope of providing an ideal channel of Islamic support for them, he says. More after the cut...

Merry Christmas to you all my readers

My remarks on my very first visit to Cote d'Ivoire, Abidjan

My very first visit in Cote d'Ivoire, Abidjan. I must say, sometimes in trips like this, it is often a reflex to feel some shame (of my country of origin really). FIRST IMPRESSION: the airport is way advanced (pictures soon). SECOND IMPRESSION: the roads: if I must say...! smooth drive no pot holes, auto-roads all over. THIRD IMPRESSION: air condition in public hospitals...SERIOUSLY...!!!! you know you have to come in contact with public places/offices to really understand the governance culture that exist in the country; well decided to pay the hopital a visit: this was the University hopital of Treichville.
