Apparently The Koran does condemn homosexuality in 4:16. They seem to equate the act with adultery, punishable by death.
Many nations in the Arab world have backward policies. THe UAE has horrible restriction of Internet use, including a monopolistic telecom system that is easy for the government to tap. All hard to monitor Internet telephone services are blocked, as are .il sites (Israeli State sites) and any content inconsistent with the religious, cultural, political and moral values of the United Arab Emirates." (that includes pornography) Media is prevented from criticising the royal family. They have rampant worker abuse policies (poor conditions, strikes are illegal, worker abuse by corporations without government intervention). There is also supposedly a large child sex trade. Homosexual acts are punishable by death (Urizen, its not for you).
So, despite how "nice" and cultural the UAE is, I won't be visiting anytime soon. Unfortunately for Dubai, no amount of Las Vegas style skyscrapers will solve their government's moral issues.
I think Doha (Qatar, not the UAE) showed the world when they hosted the Pan-Asian games last year how unready some areas of the world are to join the GLOBAL culture.
One day they will all regret it when the power of the people screams out and rises up and destroys them and Islam

Religion must be separate from the state. In all cases.

And killing gays is NOT an Islamic law ..
Yes it is, as Alliance pointed out. The Quran treats homosexuality as equal to adultery and punishable by death.

Islam won't be destroyed, nor should it be. Governmente need to stop using Islam as a source of law (as Lil pointed out). Islam, like all religions (as amazing as that cen seem at times) will change with the times.

Exactly. As I said before - believe in stones, if you wish, as long as you don't throw them at me (us).

Yes, but you see that as somehow justified ? How is that loving ? How is that moral ?
And btw, Homosexuality is also a sin and punishable by death in Christianiy as well - the only difference is that here in the United States, Christians are not allowed to execute us. They are only allowed to deny us civil rights, pay us lower wages, and talk about how evil they thnk we all are.

Well, Catholic Church certainly doesn`t recognize homosexualism as punishable by death nowadays, though it is still a Cardinal Sin. You are really not very accurate here, Lord Urizen. Most of people I know are Christians, no one of them would advocate killing homosexual people, they mostly tolerate them.
