But tell me, why the :uuh: smiley in your first post?
there are several Muslims who are also homosexuals and it's thanks do documentaries like this that they can get to know themselves better and find out that they're not alone in their issues, if it's ok to call it issues, I guess you could, it must be a terrible issue for a gay Muslim to come out.
Anyway, I think too little is said about Muslim homosexuals, which makes them feel excluded etc. Must be even harder for the more religious ones. So I thing documentaries like these are a good thing. they're not an attack on Islam and its norms (though some are), but rather documentaries about Muslims who happen to be gay. That's it.
there were a few threads about what constitues a radical Muslim, one of the categories was also the beleif that homosexuality is a sin. That's a completely valid belief and it in itself doesn't make you a radical. You are a radical however, if you abandon and banish your child just because he or she is gay, and from what I've heard, this is fairly common in the UK.
