The gay Muslims in this book were often caught between competing ideological agendas reinforcing the idea that Islam condemns homosexuality. In this chapter, Shah delves into how this situation affected their everyday negotiations of the halal (permissible) and haram (forbidden). He begins by comparing how these sentiments appeared in the mass media in both countries. Then, focusing on Malaysia, he discusses the impacts of anti-gay ‘moral panics’, often triggered by pro-Syariah ‘moral entrepreneurs’. He contrasts this with the situation in Britain, where vehemently anti-Muslim or anti-gay attitudes also exist but are mitigated by legislation that protects the rights of various minorities. The chapter thus provides insights into the influences of geopolitical and nationalist trends on expressions of Islam and sexual identity in Malaysia and Britain.
