Muslim group reveals plan for gay consensus

I was surprised to see this article, which states that the Muslim Council of Britain is working with the gay community there to combat prejudice! One thing that has saddened me greatly about the Muslim community is the vitriolic hatred of gays... How can we insist that people treat us without prejudice if we have so much prejudice ourselves?

Muhammed Aziz, policy advisor to the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB), told PinkNews.co.uk that significant progress is expected following internal discussions after a productive All Party Parliamentary Group meeting earlier this year, which included the Muslim organisation and gay charity Stonewall.

Mr Aziz revealed plans to look at homophobia in the Muslim community and Islamophobia in the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community in reaction to controversial comments by MCB leader Sir Iqbal Sacranie on homosexuality.
