    It is much like the bible on that issue. They forbid it in Islam just as in Christianity.

    Since the Torah and the Gospel and the Quran is from the same Lord, your God and my God , Allah, they all say the same, that homosexuality is detestable.

    Because the present Bible is it not 100% corrupted , it still does carry the same message from the actual Book given to Jesus (pbuh), the Gospel, as for as homosexuality is concerned, that is:

    "Do not sleep with a man as one sleeps with a woman, it is detestable for you"

    the same applies to women. All we have to do is just rephrase the sentence in a way it applies also to women:

    "Do not sleep with a woman as one sleeps with a man, it is detestable for you"

    Same consequences, told differently.

    Homosexuality is understood but it highly discouraged. The Quran states that homosexual acts are illegal. I have read about one story where the village (I think so) was destroyed because of homosexual acts.

    Though it goes far to say that homosexual thoughts are okay, but the acts are highly punishable.

    "We also sent Lut : He said to his people : "Do ye commit lewdness such as no people in creation (ever) committed before you? For ye practice your lusts on men in preference to women: ye are indeed a people transgressing beyond bounds." Qur'an 7:80-81

    "What! Of all creatures do ye come unto the males, and leave the wives your Lord created for you? Nay, but ye are forward folk." Qur'an 26:165

    It must be noted that Islamic law requires four witnesses ,four people have to see the sexual acts between two men inorder for an execution to take place.Its very hard to PROVE Homosexuality in Islam unless someone is doing it openly.
