Attitudes toward homosexuality in the pre-modern Arab-Islamic world are commonly depicted as schizophrenic visible and tolerated on one hand, prohibited by Islam on the other.

Drawing on poetry, biographical literature, medicine, dream interpretation, and Islamic texts, he shows that the culture of the period lacked the concept of homosexuality.
