Here's a look at what the Islamic State group, Islamic scholars and others in the region say about homosexuality. WHAT DOES THE ISLAMIC STATE GROUP SAY? According to the Islamic State group's radical interpretation of Islam, gays should be thrown from a high building then stoned if they are not dead when they hit the ground. While homosexuality is not illegal in Afghanistan, gays fear the consequences of disclosing their identities, including police harassment and death threats. Over the past two years, the Islamic State group has thrown dozens of gay men from tall buildings in the areas of Iraq and Syria under its control.
