The fact is that the Qur'an says that gays are "a people transgressing beyond bounds" and "a people transgressing all limits." As a result the hadiths call for gays to be executed. The Sunan Abu Dāwūd (the third of the six "canonical" hadith collections recognized by Sunni Muslims) requires that gays be executed by being stoned to death: "Narrated by Abdullah ibn Abbas: The Prophet said: If you find anyone doing as Lot's people did, kill the one who does it, and the one to whom it is done."
Another one of the six major hadiths, Sunan at-Tirmidhi, has the same thing saying that Muhammad instructed that ""Whoever is found conducting himself in the manner of the people of Lot, kill the doer and the receiver."
The Umdat as-Salik wa 'Uddat an-Nasik ("Reliance of the Traveler and Tools of the Worshiper"), one of the most highly respected works on Islamic theology and jurisprudence[1] and based on the teachings of Abu Zakaria Muhiy ad-Din Yahya Ibn Sharaf al-Nawawi (or just Al-Nawawi -- 1233–1277)[2], concurs and also has Muhammad declaring "Kill the one who sodomizes and the one who lets it be done to him."
The mainstream Islamic source, OnIslam.net, proclaimed that homosexuality is "abnormal" and abhorrent" and confirmed that gays should be executed saying "The punishment for men or women who are unwilling to give up homosexuality and therefore are rejecting the guidance of Allah Most High is in fact death according to Islam."
As Islam Question and Answer, a popular Islamic website run by Muhammad Saalih Al-Munajjid who is considered a respected scholar, the only point of theological debate is not whether the homosexual should be killed, but how it should be done. And the 8 volume Fatawa Islamiyah (Islamic Verdicts), a collection of Islamic rulings issued by the renowned Islamic legal scholars advocates burning and stoning of gays.
