Re: Gay Adoption
I would like to stay neutral and refrain from making any comments about gay adoption but what I am finding highly disturbing in this thread is the abuse of religion. Not to offend anyone, supporters or anti-homosexuals, but as a Muslim, I am so offended by how Islam is being twisted in this discussion.
I understand when people raise arguments and disagree over stuff such as wearing nailpolish during wudu or something that is not mentioned in the Quran and alot of people don't find certain hadiths to be authentic or think the Mullahs or Imams have exaggerated stuff. Okay, fine. But when something is so clearly mentioned in the Quran and Allah swt HIMSELF says that look, those who chose to be gay, this is the punishment I gave them, how can anyone who has read Quran and is Muslim, ignore that? I even understand if it was mentioned in Hadith and people could have just said, 'well maybe it's not authentic' but holy Quran has never been changed, it's still how it was years and years ago.
Why do we stoop to low levels where we either distort what Allah swt has told us and keep on harping nonsense to make it sound like we are right while constantly bringing Almighty into it when we KNOW that is NOT what He said.
I think people should be honest and say, YOU KNOW WHAT, this is what I believe in and regardless of any religion, culture or beliefs, I AM going to stick to it. Please have that much dignity instead of involving Islam, Almighty Allah and his Prophet Muhammad PBUH in what is CLEARLY declared haram. Infact, if you want to keep bringing Allah swt and the Prophet PBUH into it then show verses from the Quran or any hadith which supports your argument or better, try to falsify those verses or hadiths which CLEARLY declare homosexuality to be haraam. If you can't do that then go on with your arguments but keep religion out of it.
As it is, Islam is misunderstood and misrepresented by so many, we don't need more people making false claims about our religion.
