France To Host World’s First ‘Gay Mosque For The Gay Community’

A French-Algerian homosexual man is planning to open a ‘mosque for gays’ in France and hopes to eventually conduct same-sex Muslim marriages.
Mohammed Ludovic Lütfi Zahed (r), An Algerian Muslim Living In France Who Is Married To His Gay Partner Qiyam al-Din (l), Hopes To Open A Mosque For Homosexuals
Mohammed Ludovic Lütfi Zahed, an Algerian Muslim living in Paris who is married to his gay partner, hopes to open the doors by the end of the month. Mr Zahed says the mosque, situated in a Buddhist chapel in Paris, will also break another Islamic taboo by refusing to segregate women and men.
He said: ‘In normal mosques, women have to sit in the back seats and wear a headscarf and gay men are afraid of both verbal and physical aggression.
‘After performing the Hajj, I realized that a mosque for gays was a must for gay Muslims who want to perform their prayers.’
Zahed is married to Qiyam al-Din, a South African man. The pair wed in South Africa, where same-sex marriage is legal, and their marriage was approved by an imam in France, but was not recognised by the previous government.
Gay marriage has bitterly divided France.
What is this world turning into?
