The Danish Islamic Council chose one of the most potentially auspicious weeks in its history to confirm an attitude that is prevalent across the Islamic world: homosexuality is wrong and should be considered an illness.
Or at least that is how Jyllands-Posten reported the matter on Tuesday evening, just two days ahead of the opening of Denmark's first ever grand mosque in Nordvest – a place of worship that critics fear will bring a more conservative form of the religion to these shores, particularly given that Qatar donated 150 million kroner to its construction.

Mohamed Al Maimouni, a spokesperson for the Danish Islamic Council – who earlier in the week lamented the limited number of politicians attending the opening (see page 2) – made the comments.
