Even in the last seconds of life, the first gay imam pushed the borders

The death of the execution An open gay imam, Muhsin Hendricks left people in a scary LGBTQ + society in South Africa, but also ahead of the campaign to end the marginalization in religious circles.

Dear Tony Kruger-Ayebazbazwe said that the BBC was the “slit spirit” that brings the light of the Hendricks to the occupied room.

“The gap Muhsin’s leaves were massively, massively told the BBC that there were” a large number of short Muslims in the world. ”

The 57-year-old Sabbath was dead in the shape of Gkeberha in Gkeberha.

Cape City-based Hendricks GQEberha’s Gkeberha’nın Geberha’nın Geberha’nin Wedding Ceremony Preliminary reports were fired as invalid.

“When he was tragic, two interfigits traveled to Gkeberha to marry the marriages of heterosexual couples.”

The couple suggests why they want to control Hendricks’s ceremonies, but even in the last seconds of his life even pushed the boundaries.

Traditional Imams in South Africa are rarely, if you are always married to non-Muslim marriage – the hydricks are nothing.

He was on his way to carry out such a marriage ceremony, when he had a wedding ceremony and armed in the vehicle.

The two leading objects representing the Imam – the Muslim Judicial Council (MJC) and South Africa (UUCSA) United Ucsa – Hendricks condemned the killing of Hendricks.

“As members of a democratic, pluralistic society, MJC said,” MJC, “said MJC, even with mutual respect, and even disagreements.

However, Hendricks – Who made Islamic work in Pakistan – in their circles, because they have the idea that Islam forbid the same sex.

More than religious headlines such as imam or sheikh, they appealed to him as “Mr. Hendricks”.

On the contrary, Hendricks’s supporters were the first open gay imam in the world, their sexuality in the world to reconcile the Islamic faith.

The trail-blazer was not surprising – in 1996, the Constitution of South Africa adopted after the end of the white-minority was first to protect people from discrimination for sexual orientation.

Then in 2006, South Africa became the first country in Africa to legitimize the same sexual marriage.

Once in a heterosexual marriage with children, Hendricks appeared in 1996 as a gay and broke another tab marry a Hindu man.

He then prepared the formation of the interior as the “underground social and support group”.

Launched in Cape Ttaun house and “It is proven to be very successful in helping Muslims who are strange to reconcile the Islam,” Says the internal circle website.

Despite the development of the LGBTQ + scene in South Africa, members of the community still face some stigmatization and violence.

Only a few of the country, the societies, between the Reformed Church and South Africa, and South Africa, have accepted policies more favorable for the Methodist Church.

The Dutchproved Church was mandatory by the courts in 2019 To restore a policy, it was applied four years ago, but then allowing the same sexual marriages and gay and lesbian pastors collapsed in romantic relationships.

Next year, the Methodist Church, “The ministers will not be ready to be prepared to disgrace the same-sex marriages,” civil unions will not be able to live in a known country, “said such a thing that prevents entry into something union “.

Dear Ecclesia de Lange, the director of the inclusive and confirming ministries (im), the BBC, in cases where the inclusive policies entered into the BBC, are still “very strong conservativeness pockets.”

“The traditional statements of the sacred texts continue to exclude LGBTQ + people, so the struggle for admission within the communities,” he said.

Senior Lecturer in Islamic Studies in South Africa University, Dr. Fatima Essop reflected the “squeezing” vitriolik content in social media in connection with the killing of Hendricks.

“I just shocked completely and so far … Islam tradition, all of the mercy and mercy and human life,” said BBC.

Dr. Essop added that although some strong feelings against the Hendricks work, “It was absolutely no justification, Islam or anything for such violence.”

The motive is not known, the killing of Hendrik – and following negative opinions “Talking about sexual orientation”, he said.

Dear Kruger-Ayebazibwe, Hendricks’s shooting re-thinking LGBTQ + leaders, while re-thinking, he said he would not be aware of the campaign.

Hendricks have already been buried in a private ceremony, although His Al-Qurdah Foundation has organized a memorial to “watch great contributions” in the near future.

Teboho Klaas, a member of the religious Program of LGBTQs in southern Africa, may have briefly cut its lives in its southern, because he was not inherited because he struck himself. “
