Muslim Association of Malawi (MAM) are calling for homosexual people in the country to be given the death penalty.
This suggestion comes at a time as some Civil Society Organisations (CSO) are pushing for the country to abolish the statute that penalise the act. Currently the maximum jail term sentence for those found guilty by the courts is 14 years.
In what will be viewed as stirring up hatred on the grounds of sexual orientation, MAM Secretary General Dr Salmin Omar Idrussi is advancing that homosexuality should remain criminalised and the maximum sentence should be pegged at death.
“Although Malawi is regarded as a secular state but the country is blessed with God fearing citizens who can’t afford to deviate from God’s commandments for the sake of pleasing others who practice the act,’’ Idrussi is quoted by malawimuslims.com an official website for Malawi Muslims.
‘‘Even animals like goats don’t do this, what more with human beings like us who were blessed with wisdom by the Almighty God? The offenders need to be handed death penalty as a way of making sure that the issue is curbed.”
Idruss argues that capital punishment was the only way to rid society of homosexuality.

The real danger in Malawi is NOT from the Muslims there, who constitute a small portion of the population. It is from the fundamentalist "Christians" there, and their American paymasters, who have actually tried to propose additional criminal penalties for being Gay, have actually arrested, jailed, and beaten Gay persons for being Gay, and who support Malawi's current legislation criminalizing Gay persons.
But Malawi isn't nearly as bad as Nigeria, where a draconian bill has just been enacted to ban all freedom of petition, protest, RELIGION, press, speech, assembly, expression, and due process for LGBT Nigerians. The Nigerian Bill has been cheerled/enabled/supported by American fundamentalists like Liberty University Law Dean Mat Staver, as well as the World Congress of Families (supported financially by the Family Research Council, Focus on the Family, and many other AMERICAN fundamentalists).
In Uganda, the situation is similar.
In Cameroon, the situation is similar.
In Russia, the situation is similar.
Islamic sharia is troubling. But the big problem with violence, criminalization, and state sponsored torture is coming from Christianity at this point. And those massive violations of very BASIC human rights are enabled by American Fundamentalists.
