An openly “gay imam” is hoping to open Australia’s first “LGBT-friendly mosque” within the next year.

Nur Warsame, who publicly revealed his sexuality in 2010, says he wants to set up a haven in Melbourne for young Muslims whose families have shunned them.

Mr Warsame, who used to lead a mosque in Melbourne, came out as the country’s first openly gay Muslim leader in 2010. He says he has been cut off by the community since.

The Somali-born imam, who was married with a daughter, says he is dealing with an “avalanche of misery” and is in talks with philanthropists to build a refuge mosque in an undisclosed inner-city location for Muslims who have experienced violence from their families and their community.

Homosexuality is forbidden in Islam and considered a major sin.

The areas of Australia with the highest Muslim population voted overwhelmingly against gay marriage in last year’s postal vote survey, with the western Sydney seat of Watson, returning a 70 per cent No vote.

It's the gay Darood Imam

Adali?? Really--your response surprises me.



I thought u r modern in thinking about this. I think u r pretentious.



My opinions are clear. U cannot be a muslim and say homosexuality is OK. First of all, there is NO thing like Homosexuality identity. Your identity is a Muslim FIRST. Islam prohibits the act of homosexuality. Its like Zina. A sin. Hate the sin, love the sinner. You must know it is a sin, you must ask for forgiveness. Period. Imam and homosexuality just dont go together. Its really amazing how this man can do this. I mean, i am not juding, God judges. I believe there is another African Canadian imam too.

You were claiming you blocked me in the other thread bon marehan.

See where pathological lying gets you?

He embarrassed all Somalis but I heard his Darod family loves him.

He's Darood Al-Jewberti reincarnated .
