Description: Homosexuality is anathema to Islam - or so the majority of both believers and non - believers suppose. Throughout the Muslim world it is met with hostility where state punishments range from hefty fines to the death penalty. Likewise numerous scholars and commentators maintain that the Qur'an and Hadith rule unambiguously against same - sex relations. This pioneering study argues that there is far more nuance to the matter than most believe. In its narrative of Lot the Qur'an could be interpreted as condemning lust rather homosexuality. While some Hadith are fiercely critical of homosexuality some are far more equivocal. This is the first book length treatment to offer a detailed analysis of how Islamic scripture jurisprudence and Hadith can not only accommodate a sexually sensitive Islam but actively endorse it.
