Why is the LGBT community so accepting of Islam?

LGBT peeps are a minority social group, so tend to look after the interests of other minorities for the sake of solidarity and social justice, even if their interests don't necessarily align.

Ostensibly because they feel that Muslims, like them, are an oppressed minority and therefore a natural ally. Shame that it's a pretty one-sided arrangement.

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.

...when Islam (in general) is definitely not accepting towards the LGBT community.

Let's take Islam in the UK for example. A gallop poll reported by 'the Guardian' found that none of the 500 British Muslims interviewed believed that homosexual acts were morally acceptable.

Asking for hatred to stop when it is based on someone's beliefs is absolutely ridiculous. You really do say some insane **** you. Someone's beliefs are one of the very best justifications for hatred towards them.

Look, both of you, I offered a harmless opinion that isn't at all out of line and you've both just ****ing gone for me. Don't ask for views if you can't swallow them.

I'm not entering into this any further. I gave my opinion, get over it and @TorpidPhil, you can just **** right off - get off of my back. Not everybody thinks as you do and your opinions about me are boring - you do not even know me, this is the ****ing internet for crying out loud.

I meant more TorpidTwat. Lmao.

Anyway, all I can say is I wasn't really talking about what you did and didn't say - I was talking generally about Islam and Homosexuality.

Plus, you're just being a pedant... I said islamaphobia is basically being an idiot because you don't like the beliefs pr whatever, I just didn't look to te OED for a poncey definition but they're more or less exactly the same in concept. So, I'm not really sure what you're twisting it into something else for... it is what it is.

The final paragraph about the sampling - yes, I do know how it works but '500' isn't accurate. There's thousands of muslims in this nation. I don't think 500 is particularly fair sampling but I suppose that is neither here nor there.

Thank you for respecting my opinion - I respect yours too.

As far as I'm concerned there's nothing wrong with being Islamophobic. It's just a word used to shut down debate about Islam that needs to be had. Like I said before, disliking Islam or negatively criticising the ideology is technically 'Islamophobia' and I don't see a problem with that.

Fine, maybe the study is inaccurate, there are various other studies to refer to. If you can't come to terms with the majority of Muslims being against homosexuality then I think you are pretty deluded.

Typical knee-jerk SJW reaction. Most of them probably believe the "Islam is a religion of peace" trope, and have no idea that the people who they are supporting believe that they should be killed (or at least, the ideology that they support believes that they should be killed - which amounts to the same).

Let's take Islam in the UK for example. A gallop poll reported by 'the Guardian' found that none of the 500 British Muslims interviewed believed that homosexual acts were morally acceptable.

Yes but people don't criticise just the ideology - they criticise the people and persecute them. They brand them all as terrorists and so on. Its unfair and I think that's what is being protested against.

Mate, my patience is just going with you - I didn't say that a lot of muslims think homosexuality is brilliant and are supportive; I know that is rubbish. However, my point is that I personally put my personal opinion aside - I don't condone hatred any ways, regardless of whether I myself am hated for things I cannot control. Furthermore, as I said in the beginning, my point is that you can think homosexual sex is immoral and not think homosexuals are disgusting or be hateful towards them. They are not the same thing. It isn't like you cannot have one thing without the other.

I'm against homophobia just like how they're against islamophobia. Even if there are some disagreements we can see that inciting hatred on a large group of people is wrong.
