ajiss-1275	Rahemtulla, Shadaab	Homosexuality in Islam: Critical Reflection on Gay, Lesbian, and Transgender Muslims by Scott Siraj al-Haqq Kugle (Oxford: Oneworld, 2010. pbk 335 pages)	2011.0	3	.pdf	application/pdf	1058	31	31	143Book Reviews Given Kugle’s extensive engagement with the Islamic legal tradition, I was surprised not to find any treatment of homosexuality in Shi’a juris- prudence, despite the fact that he discusses sex-change operations in Iran (263–66), mentions the execution of homosexuals in the Islamic Repub- lic (296), and even raises the possibility of mut’a (temporary marriage) – which is permissible in the Twelver Shi’a school of thought – as a poten- tial, contractual alternative for same-sex Muslim couples (226). Chapter 1, “Islam on Trial: A Case Study” begins with a heated court case concerning a homosexual Moroccan Muslim seeking asylum in the United States, a case in which Kugle acted as an expert witness.	cache/ajiss-1275.pdf	txt/ajiss-1275.txt
