The Wahabbi interpretation of Sharia law in Saudi Arabia maintains that acts of homosexuality should be disciplined in the same way as adultery - with death by stoning. Homosexuality or nonconformant gender expression can also be punished by corporal punishment, flogging, imprisonment or forced ‘conversion’ therapy.
This isn’t unusual in the Middle East. There’s a number of reasons for this (mostly based on colonialism and imperialism by more powerful players), but this is unfortunately the status quo.
Are you saying there was no stoning of gay people before the Brits arrived? What the hell does “colonialism” have to do with Sharia law that was implement over 600 years ago? I swear “colonialism” is the new popular word of the day on my bingo card.
