Homosexuality in World Religions...

Advertisements [?]

Edited on Sun Dec-26-04 06:49 AM by damkira

I must admit that I know very little about Islam, Buddhism and Hinduism, so I was wondering how each of them viewed homosexuality? Is it considered a 'sin' like it is in the Judeo-Christian view?

I know that in some Islamic countries that homosexuals regularly recieve the death penalty, was this sanctioned by Mohammed, or is it a case of religion being hijacked by extremists?

I know that The Dalai Lama has spoken out against homosexuality before, but I am not sure if he was speaking about homosexuality or promiscuity.

Any thoughts or answers to these questions would be greatly appreciated.
