Daayiee Abdullah (Arabic: داعي عبد الله, born Sidney Thompson)[1][2] is an American Imam based in Washington, D.C.[1][3][4] Abdullah is said to be one of five openly gay Imams in the world (the others being Muhsin Hendricks of South Africa, Ludovic-Mohamed Zahed of France, El-Farouk Khaki of Toronto's el-Tawhid Juma Circle/The Unity Mosque, and Nur Warsame of Australia).[5][6][7][8] Abdullah was a member of and spiritual advisor of the Al-Fatiha Foundation until it closed in 2011.[9] As a Muslim leader, Abdullah's homosexuality has caused controversy due to the traditionally upheld beliefs about male homosexuality in Islam.[3]
