More than half of British Muslims say homosexuality should be outlawed

Original post by The_Opinion

Gay marriage will likely be repealed in a couple of decades.

It will not be long until Muslim Brotherhood party / parties appear and start to gain MP's.

They don't need it as long as the Labour continues to work for them. Then when the idiots that run this party realise that they have been duped, it will be too late.The Muslim Brotherhood will get MPs and entire cities.

I doubt it. It got passed by a Conservative government, and we're not likely to see a majority radical-religion government any time soon. UKIP is one of the most controversial parties around at the moment, and they only got less than 13% of all the votes.

It also looks like, of the few people actually voting, not many of them are Muslim.

I highly doubt it. Even if these extreme parties appear (which I doubt too), they won't be able to convince the masses, which currently seem to support LGBT.

They have support in the form of the Labour party. The vast majority of Muslim voters vote for the Labour party, this will certainly change.

What you have to consider, is what people would actually vote for, gay marriage is not a vote decider for the majority of non-gay people, whilst they may slightly agree, disagree or be neutral on the issue, they will not vote for a party just to defend it. Additionally, the Muslim population (like most immigrant groups) is not spread out throughout the country, but in pockets, pockets that do have their own MP's (just look at how George Galloway got elected, by aiming for the Muslim vote).

When these parties spring up, they will grow rapidly, then they can begin to lobby against gay marriage and other issues where they will find some extent of support from the general population.

Again, you need to consider demographics, in 20 years or so, these regions will only grow and with postal voting (another Labour party issue), they can ensure victory, as the head of the household can demand the votes go to his favourite party.

We are concerned that Muslims hate gays. It is our fu**ing business.

And homosexuality is not a lifestyle. It's decided in utero.

And how is it your business ? Elaborate please

Well, if all Muslims did hate gay people, it would definitely be gay people's business.

I have members of my family who are part of the LGBT community as well as friends.

So it's my business

Because such a widespread hate can only have terrible consequences for them. Passively watching this angst rising is like being an accomplice to the catastrophe that will follow.

It's like in the 1930s when we passively watched a death cult growing in another country - you know how it ended.

As a queer person myself I honestly would say I wouldn't say that it was a massive problem, at the moment. The sample was of 1,802 muslims, which, while is a big number, is in no way a big enough size to state that over half muslims hate gays/want gay marriage banned, and also there is potential that there has been a sampling error or something of that kind, and I would hardly count the Daily Mail as a reliable source, although the Times is a better one. As someone else said further up in the up the post, Muslims make up only 5% of the British population, and half of those are supportive according to this pole which means only 2.5% of the population disagrees with gay marriage.
And anyway I seem to remember the people who were most against gay marriage being Christians, not pointing fingers or anything but I've received more discrimination from them than I have Muslims ever.

Are you serious? Do you expect people to be indifferent to the rising hatred and intolerance towards gay people just because they themselves are not gay? This is sociopathic logic. Shunning, abuse and discrimination of any group of people just by virtue of who they are naturally is everyone's business in a civilised society.

Ironic that the LGBT community is one of the most vocal defenders of Islam.

It's a hard one. At the same time as Islam being a religion that in overwhelming interpretation is homophobic (worse if you take Muslims world wide) we also know what it is like to be discriminated against and it's almost instinct to jump against. I think some go to far though , especially organised/semi organised movements, and take defending Muslims as fighting agaist critism if Islam or political ideologies that give it a wide birth.
