That article doesn't present the 98% as a rock-solid figure imo, but if it's close then yeah, that would be about right.

Not entirely sure about that. I remember there being a pretty strong gay culture in Morocco when I used to visit twenty odd years ago. At the time it seemed more out than many european/ uk places.

Islam is a lot more heterogeneous than it is often thought of by some (not talking about the Urban crowd tbf). Considering there are *loads* of Muslims from a bunch of cultural traditions in a load of different places, you can’t really expect such a diverse bunch to live up to a British tabloid stereotype, really.

Sheeple Awake!
Precisely, it really pisses me off when massive assumptions are made like, "muslims don't drink" when I know loads who do. It is like saying catholics don't use contraceptives when of course many do. You end up pandering to the extremists and denying the religion of people who are doing what has been done for ever, which is taking a realistic approach to law and religion.

I know a couple of Muslims who drink, but very modestly. As in two glasses of wine and that's it, even at a party (actually I think it's only special occasions* where they'll partake at all). My understanding is that the earliest edicts were about turning up to Friday prayers intoxicated, then more were added about public intoxication generally and it went from there, and different traditions and cultures settle at different points on that spectrum.
Some Christians do similar.
* - not my interpretation of a special occasion, such as it being a rainy day, or a sunny day, or night time...

back on the other side
Your post comes across a bit like "too may foreigners ruining our cultural norms". Have i miseread your post?
I dont see this as an issue of multiculturalism, i see it as religious orthodox dicks being a pain. UK and Ireland have a rich seem of religious zealots going back hundreds of years, exported to boot - fucking up swathes of the world, with plenty still about, still acting this way.
And there is an answer to these people: the law.

Imagine being a child in that school and thinking you might be gay...

Indeed. Gay kids have a massively difficult time accepting themselves for who they are without having to contend with parents behaving like twats like in this case.

Gay sex is illegal in Morocco and carries a term of three years in prison. They are more likely to turn a blind eye there than in more hard-line Muslim countries and there are all sorts of tales of what the gay jet set got up to there in the 70s, but it's still a homophobic country.

Yes, similar tale in Turkey. While it's not illegal to be gay or have gay sex, homophobia and discrimination are rife, and getting worse as the country becomes more religious.

I have a gay Turkish friend who has recently left Istanbul so he could marry his partner here in Berlin, mainly to eventually gain citizenship. It's all getting too scary there if you are gay.
