Short filmTranscript
00:00 Homosexuality is a crime and is punishable in Islam by death.
00:29 I guess what was never taught to us when we were growing up is that Allah is also the
00:35 Allah of love.
00:36 We always had to fear God.
00:39 We never were taught about the love of God.
00:41 Do you commit and bring that obscene and lewd action where a male fulfills his desire with
00:47 a male?
00:48 I wish there was a verse in the Quran that said, "Please do not discriminate against
00:53 homosexuality."
00:54 The only difference among the jurists is how that person should be killed.
00:59 That's the only difference.
01:00 It's a dilemma.
01:01 They don't know how to deal with it.
01:10 You can be gay or lesbian and still be a good Muslim.
01:15 Jihad is not a holy war.
01:18 It's a struggle.
01:19 And the love of jihad is a struggle with Islam.
01:40 From gay and Muslim filmmaker Parveen Sharma, an astonishing debut about an Islam you have
01:45 never seen and a jihad that will surprise you.
