Islamic court jails Nigerian transvestite

Another reason why liberals should fear the growth of Islam:

A Nigerian Islamic court has sentenced a man to six months in prison and fined him $38 for living as a woman for seven years in the northern city of Kano.

The judge told 19-year-old Abubakar Hamza, who used his female identity to sell aphrodisiacs, to desist from "immoral behaviour".

Mr Hamza, who appeared in court dressed in a pink kaftan and matching cap, said he was now "a reformed man".
