The academic then further describes the significance of earrings in determining sexuality. His statements, aired on Al-Aqsa TV on April 28th 2011, depict an extremely narrow-minded homophobe. “It’s frightening. Homosexuality involves a filthy place, and does not generate offspring.” This is his reason for why homosexuality carries the death penalty.
He criticises the British Health Secretary and an Italian Minister for homosexuality, and refuses to acknowledge the “notion” that “a homosexual is a normal person.”
The video clip containing the excerpt of his statement is broadcast online by MEMRI, the Middle East Media Research Institute.
