Vanderbilt University is distancing itself from a Muslim chaplain
after he told a gathering of students homosexuality is punishable by
death under Islam.
"I don't have a choice as a Muslim to accept
or reject teachings. I go with
what Islam teaches," said Awadh A. Binhazim, who is listed on the
Vanderbilt website as "Adjunct Professor of Islam at the Divinity
School" and an adviser to the Muslim Student Association. His comments

Binhazim said, "Yes. It is
punishable by death." MORE PLUS VIDEO>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
