Even though homosexuality is considered a sin in all the Semitic holy books, it does not require any punishment in this world. It is a sin that will accompany its committee in the life after death.

More quotes by Salman al-Ouda

Even though homosexuality does not distance oneself from Islam, the Islam does not encourage individuals who have same-sex attraction to show their feelings in public.

I am grateful to some pens that are as sharp as a sword edge; they taught me how to go on calmly and smiling.

My enemies, I thank you! You are who trained me to be patient, to respond to the evil with the good and to overlook.

It is not wise to think of people as either friends or enemies as if you were the center of the universe; many are not aware of your existence!

Homosexuals are not deviating from Islam. Homosexuality is a grave sin, but those who say that homosexuals deviate from Islam are the real deviators. By condemning homosexuals to death they are committing a graver sin than homosexuality itself.
