The principal of an Islamic school in Sydney claims they have 'never' had a gay student because children are taught being homosexual is 'not recommended'.

Ghazwa Khan, headmaster of Auburn's Al-Faisal college in Sydney's west, said none of her students have spoken openly about being gay as parents taught them from a young age it is not acceptable to be same-sex attracted, the Australian reported.

'We've never had any child who says these things because they are being taught at home how to behave and know that this is not recommended,' she said.

'I think the students know their limit and they are taught at home what to say and what not to say,' she added.

Al-Faisal's head of welfare, Andrew Costa, told the Australian he had not been approached by a student who claimed they were gay, but explained that if the situation were to arise both the parents and principal would be notified.

Muslim community spokesperson and president of the Australian Federation of Islamic Council Keysar Trad said Islamic schoolkids are taught that sex is an act which should only be performed between a heterosexual, married couple.

'This is something that is clearly spelt out in the Koran and the hadith, that sex is only ­between a husband and a wife who are of the opposite gender and we have absolutely no mandate to change the grace of God,' Keysar Trad told the Australian.
