Where do Islam and homosexuality intersect? How does one reconcile the reality of one’s sexuality to one’s need for religion or spirituality? Morofilm points to ‘Name of Allah’, a film that explores Islam and homosexuality.

As a result, many gay and lesbian Muslims end up renouncing their religion. But the real-life characters of ‘In the Name of Allah’ aren’t willing to abandon a faith they cherish, despite its flaws. Instead, they struggle to reconcile their ardent belief with the innate reality of their being…. The international chorus of gay, lesbian and transgender Muslims brought together by ‘In the Name of Allah’ doesn’t seek to vilify or reject Islam, but rather negotiate a new relationship to it.
