What are your thoughts about these Gay Nigerian men? How do you feel about the stoning? What would it be like to live in a society where certain sins are punishable by death or flogging? What do you really think Jesus would do?

Eighteen men have been remanded in prison following
their arrest for alleged sodomy in northern Nigeria, the state-owned
news agency, Nan, reports.The men were arrested in a hotel in north-eastern Bauchi State, which is governed by the Islamic Sharia law. The Sharia punishment for sodomy is death by stoning. The men, reportedly wearing women’s clothes, are said to
have gone to Bauchi town from neighbouring states to celebrate a "gay
wedding".

Sharia judge Malam Tanimu ordered that the 18 be remanded in prison after they were arraigned before him on Wednesday. Prosecuting police officer Tadius Boboi said the men’s
actions had contravened Sharia law, adopted in Bauchi and a dozen other
states in Muslim northern Nigeria in 2000.

Amputations
More than a dozen Nigerian Muslims have been sentenced
to death by stoning and for sexual offences ranging from adultery and
homosexuality. But none of these death sentences have actually been
carried out as they were either thrown out on appeal or commuted to
prison terms as a result of pressure from human rights groups.

Many others have been sentenced to flogging by horsewhip for drinking. Read the entire BBC article here.
