Within the context of Islamic thought, however, this attitude originated from the Prophet [[Muhammad]], and since he is considered by all mainstream Muslims to be the [[Uswa Hasana]] (the perfect example) we find that the majority of Muslims still consider this harsh treatment of homosexuals to be justified. | |||

Amongst other things, the Qur'anic rendition links the destruction of Sodom specifically to the homosexual activities of its inhabitants. The Qur'an also claims that the People of Lot were the first to experience homosexuality. However, homosexuality has been recorded in ancient cultures far before the time of Lot and Abraham (1948–2123 BC). For example the ancient Egyptians who existed in 6000 BC, as well as the Chinese and Indian cultures which existed 7000 years BC. There are many recorded tales which portray homosexuality, such as the story between Seth and Horus. All this diverges from the Biblical account and, some would argue, attested history. | ||
