I never thought Islam would sit well with Putin. But it happened to me in Jolo.
When we were still looking around, a madrasah
teacher who also did NGO work said to us that organizing gays and lesbians in Jolo is perfectly alright; those who sow intrigues against Tumba Lata engage in fitna (slander) which is worse than murder. Later, after finding out we don't pay people for being interviewed, she said: Did you know what the Koran says about homosexuals? They should be
buried up to their necks and be stoned to death.
