Re: Do philosophical theories
I shall keep religion out …
My point however was that animals do lots of things we should not copy them all …
Homosexual activity may have medical repercussions too … but the worst aspect is that it is a type of indulgence … and indulgence is bad in anything … from a philosophical point of view, this does not mean we attack gays … it means we advise them against it much in the same way we advise against nymphomania, overeating, etc …
It’s not about love … as the animal kingdom proves - it is about urge … basic lower instinct to have ones erogenous zones stimulated, when science analyses homosexuality it measures it based on their attraction to the same gender. It is very clinical and love and relationships have no bearing in this conversation.
For if it was about love - then I hope that all Muslims love the prophet Muhammad (SAW) more than anyone … both men and women … yet when it comes to perverted ideas of “love” i.e. its equation with sex then no further could that contrast be … So religion cannot be blamed for preventing men loving men or women loving women …
I believe there is harm in it which is why I believe it is haram … now science can either prove that or disprove that … whether this should be made illegal or not is another matter … If society can learn to discourage it then it need not be made illegal with a punishment for the crime … but if society does not discourage this then it will spread and that is when problems will be seen that we may not as yet be fully aware of …
