I finally read Dr. Kecia Ali‘s book Sexual Ethics & Islam: Feminist Reflections on Qur’an, Hadith and Jurisprudence. Although this book has long been on my to-read list, the suicide of Tyler Clementi moved it up to the top. The chapter on homosexuality accurately pointed out that Muslims invented “Don’t ask, don’t tell” long before the U.S. military. Of course, this policy has major limitations.
