I think that this is clearly a religiously driven homophobic attack on gay people in London and must be shown for exactly what it is.
There are many gay muslims in London indeed a former partner of mine [9 years] was a Bangladeshi originally from Sylhet area. Mayor Lutfur Rahman and Tower Hamlets Council will be best advised to forget all about this one. It probably will be shown to be against the anti-discrimination laws if they proceed.
