The status of LGBT rights in Chechnya reflects the land's geographical position. There are certain elements within the culture that emphasize personal freedom, but on the other hand, the current administration holds homosexuality to be a moral and legal crime. Chechnya is a disputed territory, between the autonomous republic within Russia's borders, the secular separatist Chechen Republic of Ichkeria, and the Islamist Caucasus Emirate. Attitudes between these three ruling powers vary widely, with the Caucasus Emirate viewing homosexuality as immoral, the exiled "Chechen Republic of Ichkeria" (produced from a split with what became the Caucasus Emirate) legally mostly indifferent about the issue, and the Russian backed "loyalists" under Kadyrov wanting the implementation of the sharia law code which ascribes death to homosexuality. ==Cultural aspects== Chechnya is a mostly Muslim nation, and the sharia law code of Islam explicitly condemns and punishes homosexuality; Islam, as an Abrahamic religion furthermore condemns extramarital relations, including those between people of the same sex. Chechens have been often described by Arabs, Chechens themselves, and Westerners as being less fundamentalist in their practice of Islam, especially in comparison to their Arab jihadi comrades.〔Sakwa, Richard. ''Chechnya: From Past To Future''.

''Chechnya: The Case for Independence''.〕 In 1993, writing on a visit to the then-independent Chechen Republic of Ichkeria, Paul B. Henze noted that, in Chechnya, national traditions were viewed as being far more important than religion, which was (at the time of writing) consistently sidelined.〔Henze, Paul B. ''Islam in the North Caucasus: the Case of Chechenia''. Written in September 1993, published May 1995 with some updating. Available here: http://www.circassianworld.com/pdf/Henze_Islam_NorthCaucasus.pdf〕 Not much is known about homosexuality in Chechnya's history. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「LGBT rights in Chechnya」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
