| Following recent press coverage it is reiterated that the practice of homosexuality is sinful in Islam. Following some recent inaccurate reports in the media, the Muslim Council of Britain wishes to make it clear that the statements attributed to Abdul Aziz by the Gay website Pink News - where he was erroneously described as 'the policy advisor to the MCB' - were unauthorised and not at all representative of the Muslim Council of Britain.
The MCB believes that homosexual relationships are sinful and clearly go against Islamic teachings.
The article written by Marc Shoffman contained various inaccuracies that have misrepresented the MCB. Chief amongst them is the reference to a 5-year plan endorsed by the MCB. Abdul Aziz has confirmed to the MCB that no such plan exists and that the reference to one was entirely fictional.
MCB has always been and remains committed to a non—discriminatory, just and cohesive society in Britain. |
