Why is the LGBT community so accepting of Islam?

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

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

Here is another study by Pew Research on Muslim's attitude towards homosexuality (summarised in an infographic). Unfortunately, the poll didn't include any Western European countries.

Strongly disagree, a Christian/Muslim/Jew/Hindu/Sikh etc who is into their religion to the extent to which it forms part of them - it is no longer something they can control You can't just stop being a Jew when you believe you Judaism as you conscience won't allow it.

I'm sorry, but what're you arguing here? Are you saying that it's physically impossible to change one's mind about something if you're very 'into it?' If so, that's disprovable simply by counterexamples of very devout people who've converted either to a different religion or abandoned religion altogether, such as Ibn Warraq (his pseudonym; real name unknown), the ex-Muslim author of Why I Am Not a Muslim.

If you're arguing for something like emotional or financial impossibility (e.g. priests who've lost their faith but pretend to have it because they don't know how to live any other way), that's a different thing. But to equate the non-choice of being homosexual with the choice of believing in particular ideologies is, I think, quite simply an example of wishful thinking.

Umm no you don't have to give up what you believe simply because you're not straight. I am a muslim and bisexual. And for me it's not a thing I have to chose one over the other.

disagreeing with certain aspects of Islam doesn't make you an Islamophobe.

There are plenty of atheist Jews. Try again.

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.

Watch the film 'Pride' for a better indication of what I'm talking about! It's a genuinely great movie with a good, historical grounding.

Quoting me random case law is a diversion from my challenge to your logic that a person cannot choose their religion because it "forms part of your identity and plays a part in your thought process".

People can choose their religion, just as they can choose their political beliefs.

You're the first person I've met who takes a word like 'Islamophobe' seriously who's actually made that concession.

Okay that's fine. Just be careful if you ever visit any of the countries highlighted in orange

Well then how can they be Jews if they don't believe in Judaism? Maybe they refer to the Jewish ethnicity and background? Whilst I refer to Orthodox Jews...

You pointing out a small exception does not prove my point invalid....

lol... Well if it were true, that would make every non-Muslim in the world an Islamophobe.

I consider Islamophobia to be more along the lines of "Oh you're a Muslim? I'd better not hire you for a job then, and perhaps assault you if I see you on the streets. Hopefully you'll be kicked out of our country soon enough, because if you're not there's probably going to be an explosion going off somewhere".

That's as opposed to something like "Islam says you should do this, but I disagree, so I'm not going to do it. Other people can if they want."

You have lost all of my respect. This is total RUBBISH. People cherry-pick in christianity all of the time - there are no mechanisms. Whether or not you believe the Bible, or the Qur'an, is the direct word of God, or Allah, is down to the individual.

By definition? What even is this. This isn't about definitions coined by some company like Oxford English Dictionaries - its about reality. Muslims don't have to be anything and neither do Christians - religion is personal.

that is very ignorant of you to say. I am guessing you haven't done any proper research as in reading the holy Qur'an? I bet you get all your info from the media and if so, you are looking at a very biased, islamaphobic source my friend

yeah it's little different for jews. Than with muslims. Muslims are the same as chrisians in thi aspect. It's more about faith. If you've left the faith you're no longer chirstian or muslim. But judaism is a little different. You can stll be jewish and any other faith muslim christian atheist etc...

Well then how can they be Jews if they don't believe in Judaism? Maybe they refer to the Jewish ethnicity and background? Whilst I refer to Orthodox Jews...You pointing out a small exception does not prove my point invalid....

With all due respect, it is universally respectful to say PBUH after the Prohpet's name.
