Re: Homosexuality=Modernism????
i don't see why we can't adopt a live and let live attitude? at no point in my life have i ever met a gay person who tried to shove their beliefs and behaviour on to me, so why would i want to do that to them? you don't have to participate in the gay pride parade or hear about it in the news- you have the choice to turn off the tv and take a different route into work if it bothers you so much.
the world is full of people with different beliefs from yours- does this mean the nazi's were on the right track with the holocaust? after all, instead of it being muslims "vs" gay people, it was blond/blue eyed people "vs" everyone else. whats the difference between their attitude and the attitude on display here?
"these creatures" as someone here put, are people too. and they were created by God, same as the rest of us. and they were given the same brains and intelligence as the rest of us were along with the same right to make their own choices. and unless people here can stand up and claim they're the perfect human beings and perfect muslims, i really don't think you can condemn gay people or anyone else, for doing what they do.
"let he who is without sin cast the first stone" - sound familiar?
Islam is a religion that requires you to think and engage your brain-- so perhaps there are better ways to spread the word about the religion and its positive points, instead of lining up the non-believers and shooting them. i think as Muslims we would be much better off if we were more open to religious discussion instead of simply saying yes or no to things. We're supposed to talk to people about our beliefs and explain our POV to them in a nice, rational, peaceful manner, and if they choose despite that to go ahead and do what they do, then its truly between them and God.... but Islam doesn't say go ahead and be discriminative and beat the **** out of everyone who thinks differently from you. if that truly was the case, then frankly, we'd be at war with every other group of people on this planet who isn't Muslim. Given the state of the world today, is that the right way to go about doing things?
