I think you misunderstood what I was saying. I do not believe you have to present everything as a choice to children. What I am saying is that the government should not be limiting choices and discriminating against individuals. And the adults in a society do see that people have made choices that they do not agree with.

If you feel that your religious beliefs are best, then you study and teach others what you feel is good/right, both by your actions and your words. You are welcome to do that especially in the very countries you accuse of having some sort of hidden agenda because you have freedom of speech and freedom of religion in those countries.

Forcing people to practice some form of morality through laws is not going to encourage “good” behavior. It will simply encourage secretive, criminal, and abusive behavior.

I do not understand the opinion that allowing gay marriage and equal rights for gay people will somehow spread homosexual behavior. I feel no urge to fly to England to have a romantic relationship with another woman simply because of this news. The issue is not about spreading immoral behavior. It’s a civil rights issue.

When we condone the restriction of human/civil rights for one group, we risk threatening our own.

“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” – MLK, Jr.

Last, I will simply add that I do not have the right or audacity to label other humans non-Muslim. I do not know what is in their hearts or between that individual and Allah. I actually think it is extreme hubris to do such a thing, and to make threats and label another of Allah’s creations in such a way. But those who think that is okay will need to answer for their own behavior. It is for Allah to judge who is a Muslim and who is not. The Quran has told us what is sinful behavior, and I am not suggesting to make what is haram in Islam halal. We can read, study, and teach based on our understanding of the Quran’s teachings, without making threats and abusing our power to hurt another individual.

The government should only step in to ensure public safety and restrict behavior that deliberately harms others.

It has been proven that murderers share a similar mental make up to each other … They can also argue that their desire to kill is natural and they should be given their civil rights to practice their tendency. The reality is that homosexual behaviour is a crime and should be stopped … Just like any other crime … Just like we treat the thief in accordance with the civil rights I agree so should we treat gays … But that should not include publicly decriminalising gay sex … If they do it in private and no one knows … Then that does not harm society and neither will there be anyone to take take them to prison. But marriage and what-not … ?
