This is from Malaysia, a "moderate" Muslim country:
Malaysia’s Prime Minister has said his government will not protect LGBTI rights because they are at odds with Islam.
Najib Razak made the comments last week at an international seminar on the Islamic concept of wasatiyyah, or moderation, in Bangi, Selangor.
‘Although universal human rights have been defined, we still define human rights in the country in the context of Islam and the Sharia,’ he said, referring to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
‘And even if we cannot defend human rights at an international level, we must defend it in the Islamic context.’
Gay sex is illegal in the Muslim-majority country and punishable by fines, whippings or up to 20 years imprisonment.
Razak went on to say that extremist and liberal groups were trying to impose their views on the majority.
‘These groups, are hiding behind the facade of human rights to approve their acts which deviate from Islamic teaching,’ he said.
‘Such groups includes the Islamic State (IS) and Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender community (LGBT) are targeting the younger generation to spread their ideologies – and it seems like they have managed to influence them.’
And that's not all:
Transgender Indians in Malaysia are living in fear after a hate video inciting violence against them went viral last week.
The two-minute clip shows photos of dozens of transgender women of mostly Indian origin taken from their social media accounts.
A voiceover says in Tamil that transgender people take drugs to change from men to women, and warned that an alleged increase in transgender women had led to a fall in the male population.
The man’s voice then calls on viewers to take ‘physical action’ against transgender people to ‘save’ the multiethnic country and the Malaysian-Tamil community, which numbers about 1.74 million.
‘If you see them on the street beat them and beat those who walk with them,’ he says.
Unfortunately, Islam is proving to be a big problem for LGBT people, more than other religions. It's true that Christian countries, like Russia and Uganda, persecute them, but in the West, it (generally) doesn't happen. It's also true that last month, a Jewish extremist stabbed six people and killed one at a gay pride parade in Jerusalem, but there has been a show of outrage and pushback from other Israeli Jews.
As I did with Christianity and Judaism, I should also note that not all Muslims think like Razak. Far from it. Many are doing fantastic work for LGBT people. But incidences of prejudice do tend to be motivated by Islam more than other religions.
