Why is the LGBT community so accepting of Islam?

Atheism isn't a faith.

yeah it can be. Buddhism for example.

With all due respect, the historical record of Muhammad shows him to be a person due no respect (other than for his ability to establish and maintain a totalitarian dictatorship).
In fact his execution of prisoners, torturing of captives, and condoning of death for apostates, adulterers and homosexuals shows him to be someone worthy of oprobrium.

It is noteworthy that supposedly educated people in the 21st century still believe that he is worthy of any respect at all!

Gay men have a history of racism. I have gay Asian friends who say they've experienced a lot of racism in the gay community, but not as much in the straight community.

I agree with what Hydeman said; why does that logic not equally apply to Muslims (minority social group -> look after interests of other minorities even if don't necessarily align)?

The point is that they will never say anything bad about Islam. Defending individual Muslims from descrimination is admirable, but refusing to point out that parts of Islam promote violence and intolerance is not.

Untrue actually he recapture the city with very little bloodshed. And there was no forced conversion in fact he was very accepting of many faiths. You forget that Muhammad himself was an agnostics well in the beginning. And in the Quran there is no such support for the execution of apostates homosexuals or adulterers. I do believe it is in the torah though. Christians and Jews are said to make it to heaven just the same as muslims and the word homosexual isn't even in the quran. The story of Lot is about rape. Unlike in the bibles where it is clear that homosexuality is a deadly sin.

I just call that bigotry.

There's a limit to that approach too, though. In order for it to be consistent with individual rights, this can only be the case where a religious person doesn't insist on things like genital mutilation of children or that his child should be taught creationism in science lessons (that one's more of a nod to Christian parents in conservative parts of America). That's not a matter of simple disagreement, I don't think -- I actively insist that they be prevented from doing that against their will.

With all due respect, it is universally respectful to say PBUH after the Prohpet's name. You use a capital letter for it so I don't see the problem. Even my old atheist RS teacher said it after his name...

Hatred directed toward moderate Muslims can't be justified. Many of them do think homosexual acts are sinful, and you can think that's an abhorrent belief, but hating them all is just silly. The Muslims I know are some of the nicest people I've ever met.

This is the second irrational rage-post of yours I've seen. Are you having a bad week, mate?

This is a small minded point to state. As you should know all religions believe homosexuality is wrong, therefore you can't target just Muslims or Islam in general. As Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, Sikhs and many others believe in this too.

Also, even some atheists believe that homosexuality is wrong. In addition to this, there's millions of Muslims within the UK and you're only stating the opinions of 500. I, myself am I Muslim. As any other religion, we believe that homosexuality isn't in nature's favour. However, our religion states that this is also to prevent STDs as the risk is increased when gays commit to intimate contact.

I'm a Muslim, and I don't believe homosexuality is right in the eyes of my religion and any other religion. However, if I saw someone who was gay I wouldn't say anything to them because it's their life and they can do what they like. I have 2 gay best friends who I'm extremely close to and we're all understanding of eachothers' values. Not once have either of us questionned eachothers' beliefs. So please do not try and pin point all Muslims, we're already being portrayed as bad people in the media when in all honesty all we want is peace and people to stop making it out as if we're evil people.

I hope you have a good day.

Kind Regards,
A muslim

Oh you're new here aren't you

Why do you think the story of Lot is about rape as opposed to homosexuality?
I'm guessing you rely wholly on the Quran and don't use hadiths?

I can only speak for myself but before I do I just want to say that asking for 'islamaphobia' to stop is not supporting Islam - its asking for hatred on the grounds of belief to stop.

From where I'm standing, you can't put everyone in the same basket. My best friend is muslim and he and his family have accepted me and support me a lot but they are devout. People don't deserve to be hated for having a religious faith and we get what its like to be persecuted for... nothing, really.

Also, 500 people is nothing. And not agreeing with gay sex doesn't really mean they hate gay people.

no the hadith is not consistent with the quran and it's heresay.
