Ten countries have the death penalty for homosexuality (Yemen, Iran, Mauritania, Nigeria, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan (no known death sentences since 2001), Somalia (in some southern regions), Sudan (in the North, with a three-strike rule), and the UAE (so not enforced that they're not sure if they have the death penalty for homosexuality or not). Iran is majority Shia and Nigeria is majority Christian, so that's eight of 48 Sunni-majority countries. 40 out of 48 is 'most'.Funny I did your google search and found the washington post story you referenced, but I also found several others as well.
I like how you referred to your reading as your source of authority, as if Muslims have to conform to your links and interpretations of their scriptures. Given that you're claiming that Sunni Islam is so centrally controlled, you seem to have a paradox on your hands.

In the Cnsnews article lists 13 Countries where death is indeed the state's responsiblity, however the following article mentions a list of other countries where people who kill homosexuals are not prosecuted for murder. Meaning in these muslims countries it is not a matter of the state to hold a trial, and convict a suspected homosexual. they seem to be content with Islam sponsored lynch mobs.
as far as using my sources as a point of authority.. You don't seem to understand that the source material is repersentive of what 90% HAVE TO think about any given subject. You are confusing how Christianity works verses how Sunni Islam works. There is no freedom of interpretation here. That is why the vast majority of muslims will not outright condemn terrorism, unless they feel intimidated or threatened by you. (as it is then their right to lie to you about what they believe) Otherwise they fear reprisal by the community at large or in certain regions they fear death. That is the reason sunni islam repersents 90% of all muslims. As the kill/beat those who do not comply. think dark ages Christianity and you might find yourself 1/2 there concerning devotion and fanatical no questions allowed belief.
That count of 13 includes the parts of Syria and Iraq controlled by ISIS, which is not a country. It includes five countries where the death penalty is codified but not known to be enforced. Nigeria is majority Christian, not majority Muslim. And if you count all 13, most Sunni majority countries still don't have the death penalty for homosexuality.
If you're right about what Sunnis HAVE to think, then you still have a paradox of why most Sunni countries don't have the death penalty for homosexuality. And Turkey is considering allowing gay marriage.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
