Saeed,

One point which Pim Fortuyn made during his political career, which found 
some support among some of the liberal Dutch folks I know, was that had he 
been in a Muslim country, he'd have been persecuted, because he was a gay. 
My question is to all list-members well-versed with Islam: is Islam's 
position on homosexuality something that's traced back to the Quran, or is 
it something from the Hadiths, or the Shariah?

Thanks,

Salil
